Intelligent, articulate, informed, and forward thinking. I don't just watch her interviews; I study them.

[@nadishak]

I do agree with you. She is very articulate and straight forward. When she is asked a question she listens and thinks before she delivers an informative answer.

At about 22:25, It's interesting that the interviewer says, "I want to ask you about your husband George Lucas. You guys are one of the most prominent interracial couples in the United States. Is that still an issue in America?" There are several prominent Black men married interracially- billionaire Michael Jordan, billionaire Robert Smith, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, Kobe Bryant (RIP) and Vanessa, Sydney Poitier and his wife, etc.- but I never hear the media or anyone else 1) point out that these Black men are married interracially and 2) ask ANY of those prominent Black men if "interracial marriage still a problem here in the United States." Folks only seem to highlight this when Black women are married interracially. That is very telling...

[@MsKerry-lp1ue]

J M Yes, it is telling and he asks because you don’t see many powerful/wealthy white men with black women....there are few, but not many.
