This is why I say Black American music is THEE SUPREME. All from lil ol us stripped from everything, we create abundance out of nothing but soul. And this chart stops at 1992. Think of all we created 1992-present.

VIOLA DAVIS + MAJOR INDUSTRY AWARDS

We get probably a tenth of what a Caucasian woman gets. And I’m number one on the call sheet, and then I have to go in and I have to hustle for my worth.

I got the Oscar, I got the Emmy, I got the two Tonys, I’ve done Broadway, I’ve done off-Broadway, I’ve done TV, I’ve done film, I’ve done all of it. I have a career that’s probably comparable to Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, Sigourney Weaver - They all came out of Yale, they came out of Julliard, they came out of NYU. They had the same path as me.

And yet, I am nowhere near them. Not as far as money, not as far as job opportunities, nowhere near close to it. I have to constantly get on that phone, and people say, “You’re a black Meryl Streep. You are, and we love you. We love you. There is no one like you.”

Okay, then if there’s no one like me - you think I’m that - you pay me when I’m worth. You give me what I’m worth.
