In my career, I’ve never had to apologize for being Black. I was on ‘In Living Color’ — I had a Black boss [Keenan Ivory Wayans], Black writers, Black creators.
So, I’ve never had to worry about turning my Black up or turning my Black down.
For me to be able to say, and be proud to say, [I’m] the first African-American lead in Disney-Pixar, that’s amazing.
