As a feature writer, when you hand your draft (s) into the studio, you have no control over what ends up on screen. Often, you're elated. Other times, you're disappointed. I did not write that particular joke and was disappointed to see it. It was insensitive and unnecessary.

I ❤️ Bridesmaids. My point is that a film with 4 blk women just succeeded in a way that creators of color are often told isn't possible.

Film Review: ‘Girls Trip’

Tiffany Haddish steals a comedy that gives four black women the chance to indulge in the kind of raunchy antics typically reserved for boys.

@EricHaywood It was disheartening and mean spirited. I've been wrestling with speaking up or not, but I had to. That joke doesn't represent who I am at all.

@PrestonWilson44 @MBEmpower @malcolmdlee Def NOT making a statement about all barbershops bc there is no singular black experience. This scene was based on personal experiences shared by black queer writers who've experienced homophobic/uncomfortable talk in barbershops. Your truth and their's should both be validated.

I mean, if a great script gets love, the actors who performed that get script gets love, the movie as a whole gets love, doesn't it mean the director did her damn job?!? Shout out to Greta Gerwig & @LadyBirdMovie . Seriously. What do women have to do?!?!

Except The Hangover not only was nominated, it WON (look it up). Which it deserved bc it was a hilarious & hugely successful comedy. And I'll always speak on "race" as long as I have a voice.
