"Confessions Of A Sex Kitten was so major. Eartha Kitt is a huge possibility idol for me. The thing about women like Eartha Kitt, Lena Horne, and Diahann Carroll — these black artists in the ’40s, ’50s, and ’60s — they were making a way out of no way. Eartha’s book, the first paragraph of it I was bawling. It’s just so deep! Her love life I can so relate to as a trans woman. She dated a lot of white men, who dated her privately. They would neverdate her openly or marry her. That’s something I can certainly relate to as a trans woman. She is brilliant and amazing and sexy and smart and political! She was blacklisted for like 10 years. Eartha Kitt is everything, may she rest in peace."

Perhaps I'm biased but I love Michelle Obama. She's the type of woman I aspire to be. I've read her memoir and this documentary is just a deeper dive into who she is as a person, as a role model, as a mother, as a wife, as a black woman living in the United States. She is fierce and passionate and it radiates off the screen throughout this film.

Not only is this film beautifully shot, but the majority of its production team are women and I think that's equally as incredible. More than anything, this film provides some hope. We are in some unprecedented times in various ways, but she is confident we will persevere and I believe her.

Michelle Obama is a gift and it's incredible to watch her in this film.
