Oftentimes when you see adaptations of books you like, you're let down. As an AUTHOR, you ASSUME that they are going to SUCK. A little BIT of hope is dangerous.

The movies that are REALLY big, at LEAST in my experience, oftentimes don't have CHARACTERS that I feel as PERSONALLY CONNECTED to.

Oftentimes, as WOMEN and women of COLOR, we are put as supporting CHARACTERS in other PEOPLE's narratives. With 'Jessica James', she is the star of her own narrative.

There are a lot of people who like to THINK they don't have PREJUDICES and that they're open people, and yet, we all have that in ourselves, oftentimes against people of our own race or our own GENDER or whatever.
