Ava DuVernay is childfree (by choice)

I talked to @ava about one of the most subtle, resonant threads in A WRINKLE IN TIME: Meg's insecurities about her hair. https://t.co/G4tdRrsBV3

• The subject came up in a Vulture interview where she was talking about the importance Meg's hair plays in A Wrinkle In Time.


• She wanted to portray a young black girl's natural hair as beautiful


• Filmed the movie in the places she grew up because growing up she only saw them on film if they were being portrayed negatively


• Says that despite being childfree she made the movie in order to influence young children in a positive way
