I’m trying to get back to work. I think for the last two or three weeks it’s been a little hard to work, honestly. Trying to get back to work and trying to remain [and] act normal in a world that’s not normal. I think that’s what we’re all trying to do, right?I have kids, so I have to be hopeful. I also am hopeful in the moment that I’m seeing. It feels to be a much more unified moment than I’ve seen in a long time.
How much do you feel with the position that you’re in that you have to get involved? And is it to have a voice? Is it to create? I think all the above. I feel like literally all the above. I want to get involved, boots on the ground. I want to say something. I want to write about it. I want to talk to my friends who I know don’t look like me, but I believe their heart is in the right place. I want to talk to people who I think their heart isn’t in the right place. I want to sort of make this a moment of clarity and of healing.
It is absolutely a different energy. I’m absolutely seeing more representation. I’m lucky. I work for Netflix, and Disney has done a really good job in some aspects, too. Netflix is a company that is very much about diversity. One of the craziest words I ever heard was “safe spaces” because the least safe place is a safe space. You don’t want to be around people who all think like you. There is zero growth that’s going to happen.
I look at right now what’s happening with the police and I tell people, “They know they’re being watched, and this is happening. What the f— do you think they’re doing when they’re not being watched?” It’s a compulsion. It is something that they have been doing for so long that they can’t stop themselves. I am not anti-police. If I hear a creak in my house, I am the first to call the police. I definitely feel like we have to change the structure. It doesn’t need to be a mobilized army.
