Black films and television are growing and getting the recognition... and the opportunities.

There's so much black content on multiple platforms, and it's all getting great ratings. If you think about the Oscars snubbing 'Straight Outta Compton,' in a way, that kicked all of this off.

Growing up, you hear Tupac's music, it's kind of like... it goes without saying that everyone likes Tupac.

I vowed to never be on camera down-talking another black man.

This is really honest: I have to remind myself not to look another black man as a threat.

Being on television is a little constraining. You spend six to eight months filming, and you get stuck in that gear. I feel like doing movies is a lot more my style.
