When you get played by another man and gotta figure out why you keep letting this happen to you:
Viola Davis: Being a black woman in Hollywood feels like ‘The Exorcist’
“We have to be maternal, we have to be the savior, we have to make that white character feel better, we don’t have vaginas as black women,” she said. “I got tired of celebrating movies that didn’t have me in it. I don’t mean me as Viola, I mean me as a black woman.
"My main message is: Stop taming us. Stop!”

“Not a lot of narratives are also invested in our humanity. They’re invested in the idea of what it means to be Black, but…it’s catering to the white audience. The white audience at the most can sit and get an academic lesson into how we are. Then they leave the movie theater and they talk about what it meant. They’re not moved by who we were.” Viola DavisforVanity Fair Magazine July/August 2020
