Wright mentioned that she actually ended up directing it herself because a friend was saying how close she was to the story. She had to admit, that once the idea popped into her head, she couldn’t seem to shake it; maybe she was supposed to do this. Most decidedly tear soon followed after those words; the film was something serious to her, it hit home.

Support poured into the comment section one commenting that it is being authentic that has gotten her to this far, another I mean, is there anything Letitia can’t do?; almost unanimous about the fact that indeed there’s nothing. According to the kind of massive acknowledgment from other celebrities like Claressa Shields, this attests to just how far-reaching Wright’s influence is.

Several did not stick to praise, however. One went for the pragmatic and queried about the legalities involved in sending files via WeTransfer. Yeah, that is a valid question, but kind of being off-track from most. Other users were genuinely hyped up for this almost being the best thing Wright has ever done, with several saying they can’t wait for the film!

This insider would tell you how giant this thing will be, whether you have been a fan for a long time or have just recently discovered her. Also, judging by the comments, the entire world is in her corner.
