Liberal Groups OUTRAGED After Black Panther Star Admits 'I Became A Christian,' And It 'Gave Me So Much Love And Light'

Below is a transcript of Letitia Wright’s comments on her faith from “This Morning”:




Eammon Holmes: “Letitia, you’re both so young, and you’ve both done so, so well. But Letitia, you thought about packing all of this in. I mean, which is really hard to believe when you look that there is your break. You look fantastic on screen there, but actually, there was a stage in your life when you thought, ‘You know what? This is not for me.’”




Letitia Wright: “Yeah. I was going through a lot, a very difficult time in my life. I just needed to take a break from acting because I really idolized it. So I came off from it, and I went on a journey to discover God and my relationship with God. And I became a Christian, and it really just gave me so much love and light within myself. And so much— And I felt secure. And I felt like I didn’t need validation from anyone else or from getting a part. My happiness wasn’t dependent on that. It was dependent on my relationship with God.”




Holmes: “Because as an actress, you are judged …”




Wright: “Yes, you are.”




Holmes: “… all the time …”




Wright: “Criticized.”




Holmes: “… by producers – yes – by social media.”




Ruth Langsford: “And did that help, that break? Have you come back to acting thinking, ‘I love my work. I love my job. But it doesn’t define me completely.’”




Wright: “Exactly.”




Langsford: “Yeah.”




Wright: “And I’m centered in who I am, and I’m really grateful.




“I’m not perfect, especially as a Christian, you’re not perfect, you know. But you’re walking every day and trying to just stay connected.




“And yeah, it’s helped me a lot. So I’m really grateful.”
