“Imagine this: All of the men on Black Ink had kids. You didn’t think none of them ni–as was good fathers,” she said of how everyone was portrayed on Black Ink Crew. “The women on the show that did have kids, you didn’t think nothing good of them as mothers. What kind of message does that send to our young Black kids? We ain’t think about that sh-t though.”
“This is why I created my own production company called Ambitious Daydreams,” she added. “I feel like being a person that comes from that world, I want to tell stories the right way. Especially for people that look like us.”
