Don't grow up, it's a trap.

For a long time I didn't believe it when people told me that God wanted me alive. But it's true. Because I wouldn't be alive today if God hadn't fought for my life in so many ways.

He has a purpose for you, beloved. Your life is precious to Him.

Our bodies are temples. Don't pull the stones from the walls.

Yahweh wants you alive so that you may see His eternal love played out in your life.

Vanity Fair: Viola, I think viewers will be amazed by your beefed-up physical transformation. You really trained hard to play General Nanisca.

Viola Davis: We started intensely a few months before shooting—four hours a day, five days a week. Weight training, sprinting, martial arts, and weaponry training for the machete. I like to say that I was the OG warrior. [Laughs.]

Vanity Fair: The battle scenes in the film appear to be graphic, and culturally specific. We see dark-skinned Black women with well-oiled bodies, muscles, and serrated fingernails that are used as murder weapons.

Prince-Bythewood: My approach was that you don’t need to add anything to the story. These women were fascinating and didn’t need to be embellished or glossy. I wanted it to be real and visceral and raw.

Vanity Fair: Will it be difficult for the average American moviegoer to digest these images of ferociously powerful, dark-skinned female warriors? I kept thinking as I watched the early footage that Black women have never been seen this way onscreen before.

Prince-Bythewood: If you can digest Avatar, then you can digest this.
