    When asked what advice Amy Poehler had for young female directors she said: “Do it even if you don’t think you’re ready... a lot of women wait until they think they’re really really ready for something. And I’ve worked with a lot of guys who aren’t ready for what they’re doing.”

    This is more mortifying than Soul Man.

    Dear, Everyone who ain't a Black Woman, You do not have an inner Black woman living inside of you. Your desire to "tell it like it is" is seen as either vulgar, obnoxious, or disruptive when done by actual Black women.
