In his Thanksgiving speech 15 years ago, Holly said: "This moment is not for me alone, this moment is much more. This moment is for Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horn, Diaann Carroll. He is for those women who are standing behind me - Jada Pinkett, Angela Bassett, Vivika Fox. It is for all the black women without people and names that have a chance now, because today this door has finally opened. Thank you. For me, this is an incredible honor. "
15 years have passed, and Holly Berry understands that her words about the "door", which "finally opened", did not come true - and in Hollywood still very few roles allocate for representatives of other races. Remembering the scandal with the "White" Oscar of 2016 (when not a single black actor / actress / director was nominated in the main categories / director), Holly told: "I sat and understood - to go crazy, the moment really did not mean anything. Quite nothing. "
"This awareness inspired me to try other ways - that's why I want to start working as director, I want to exercise more by producing to create more opportunities for people with other skin color."
