But you know what, wanna know why that didn’t work? Because, if you didn’t know, I’m not a white man,” said Berry with a laugh.
She continued, “So, for those roles to work, they would have to be substantially changed. It would have to be written with the reality of my journey, in all of its beauty and all of its pain.” “This is why I am so grateful to be standing and living in this moment where women are standing up and we are telling our own stories,” she added.
