Quote:
"It was important to me to give over space to this character [Jamal's mother in When Morning Comes] to live beyond how we normally see Black women represented onscreen. I thought about my mother and all of the things that she had to do for our family. This film was not just a love letter to Jamaica, but also a love letter to her. It's a chance for me to say that I appreciate the sacrifices and struggles that she took on all by herself, and the way that she was able to navigate the world and find better for us."
-- Kelly Fyffe-Marshall
