“The masterful work of the DP [Director of Photography] Kevin McKnight and his crew, and the layers and depths each actor goes to to ensure we the audience feel a human connection to these characters led me to sign my name on the dotted line.”

A space where the conversation surrounding the issues in our country is offering a seat at the table to all the voices to be heard, a murder mystery, and grassroots look at our own humanity as we move through the parts and pieces of the story.

[Harriet Tubman] is a legend, an icon, a soldier on the side of justice, a spiritual warrior, and a servant of God.

Learning about her and the layers of her helps you to see that the same woman who holds a gun and an axe felt feelings for a man.

[Harriet Tubman] lived such a full, complex, and irrefutably-dynamic life that all the craft in the world would be insufficient in honoring her legacy.

The real truth is that [Harriet Tubman ] spirit is so powerful that it consumes you.

She was inspired by being sick and tired of the injustice she was experiencing and she knew she had a right to liberty or death.

We’re living in a time where we all got to stay woke !

Very early on in this process though I studied acting in high school and college, soon after graduation,

As well as the one of the baddest women to literally ever walk the land. I surrendered to her spirit.

It was also incredibly serendipitous that I would later learn I shared a birthday with Whoop [Goldberg ].

An opportunity to honor the legacy of the lives drawn into the lines in my face, the broad of my nose.

Though I developed my own personal spiritual relationship later in life, the foundation they laid is what my faith was built upon.

When you understand the purpose [of life], then you can deal and journey through the obstacles, the rejections, the stops and starts, highs-and-lows with a different lens because you know that you’re moving in what you’re supposed to do.

Thank God for Canada! In the context of this narrative [in Underground] and beyond.

One of the first memories I have was watching Whoopi Goldberg perform her one-woman show on Broadway on HBO.

Canada was certainly an additional option for the many traveling the treacherous terrain of the Underground Railroad in pursuit of what was perceived as “freedom.”

You can’t control the audience. When you’re on the air and they’re not coming to the party, it’s time to shut down the party.

There has been only a civil rights movement, whose tone of voice was adapted to an audience of liberal whites.

That story hit me right, man. I know no guy ever made me feel as good as an audience. I’m really far into this now, really committed.

Maybe my audiences can enjoy my music more if they think I’m destroying myself.

When everything is together – the band, me, the audience, it’s boss! It’s just like magic.

I talk to the audience, look into their eyes. I need them and they need me.

Audiences like their blues singers to be miserable.

Love is the keynote, Joy is the music, Knowledge is the performer, the Infinite All is the composer and audience.
