It's been a dream role of mine since I was a young artist, and there was a revival back
00:07
in the 90s that I asked to audition for and was told no, and they said, that's not the
00:13
story we're telling.
00:14
And I found that odd, and I did some research, and I found a book called Destined to Witness
00:19
Growing Up Black in Nazi Germany, and I sent it to the entire creative team, signed, we
00:25
were there, we are always there.
00:27
Of course, I don't hear anything.
00:30
It's all good.
00:31
That was just for me.
00:32
And my mom used to say this phrase all the time.
00:36
She was very religious, and she would say, God's delay is not denial.
00:42
And when this came back around all these years later, all I could do was think about that
00:46
phrase that she said.
