      This is why we are stuck… no support.

    NO WAY did someone just say that this woman has a problem with her "BLACKNESS!" Let's stop with the crabs in the barrel syndrome and wish her the best.

    I wish you the best Stephanie, whether you are Black or Green or Blue! As far as the Cooley High rip off statement…Hollywood is so "Cookie Cutter"with EVERYTHING so get over it and give this sister some respect. I was disgusted reading what people wrote.

    All the best to Stephanie! A woman of color doing her thing!

    I'm happy for all these folks, but outside of Bray no one is putting out anything that is superior in quality.

    she produced BOYZ N THE HOOD, a cooley high rip off to high hell down to the title cards rolling up the screen at the end. she should apologize to michael schultz for making a mockery of his classic.

    You've forgotten perhaps the biggest African-American producer of them all. The only black man in town who can "green light" a picture. Broderick Johnson of Alcon Films. Check the resume.

    The brother likes to keep a low profile.
