My Take
Regina Taylor commands my respect because she refused to stay on one side of the story. A Golden Globe and NAACP Image Award winner, she is both a celebrated actor and a working playwright, and her appointment to the Denzel Washington Endowed Chair at Fordham confirms how seriously the field takes her voice. What I admire most is that she writes the worlds she performs in, carving space for Black women across both stage and screen. That dual mastery, the discipline behind it, and the quiet authority in everything she says make her, to me, far more than the sum of her credits.
