Bottoms started the morning by setting the tone and emphasizing the significance of illustration.
“Life is imitating art, and art is imitating life at a time when we are told we don’t belong in certain spaces,” Bottoms shared during the pre-screening remarks. “Yes, I recognize every single person in She The People and their story. They are who we are. They are part of this fabric, this great thing that we call democracy in America in all its color.”

Niya Palmer shared comparable sentiments.
“If you know anything about this industry, you know it’s really difficult to do what we just pulled off… This was like a wellspring in the middle of the desert. After the strike, it was really challenging. So this is kind of like a miracle, and I’m just very happy.”
Terri J. Vaughn concluded with heartfelt gratitude and tears.
“This is coming to fruition because of the yeses that happened. First, God said yes. Then Niya said yes and Keisha said yes. Tyler Perry said yes… This is a really dope show, and we’re gonna make it number one on Netflix, right?”’
