“Motherhood is the ultimate call to sacrifice.” — Wangechi Mutu Quote

Motherhood is the ultimate call to sacrifice.

While I was a student at The Cooper Union, they discouraged too much of a focus on any one medium, and it helped me try new and different things.

I watched a lot of avant-garde films, like Maya Deren's work, and I love film's technical ability to do things that are impossible in real life. It's related to the way collage allows you to manipulate reality and the hierarchies that are inherent in our awful but amazing world.

I keep things moving along with a seriously loving, caring, and brilliant man, a fierce group of friends - and really strong coffee.

I never really wanted kids. I didn't not want them, but motherhood just wasn't something that pulled at me.

And I think that motherhood has made me a better actress as well.

I want to understand rites of passage I've never experienced, like motherhood.

Mothers suffer in the workplace. That fact is by now so painfully familiar it even has a name: the motherhood penalty.

New motherhood is such a vulnerable and powerful time, but it's also really hard.
