Audra McDonald, Who Portrays Aretha Franklin's Mother in Respect, Will Always Say 'Yes' to Herself.
As Black women in America (hell, the world), demanding respect is quite an exhausting, yet necessary journey.
In the case of the late Aretha Franklin, her demand for respect was as beautifully loud as her billowing voice.
Directed by Liesl Tommy, Respect stars Jennifer Hudson, Marlon Wayans, Audra McDonald, Forest Whitaker and more.

Per the press release sent to The Root :
Following the rise of Aretha Franklin’s career from a child singing in her father’s church’s choir to her international superstardom, Respect is the remarkable true story of the music icon’s journey to find her voice.
McDonald portrays Barbara Franklin, Aretha Franklin’s mother and a pivotal force and role model in Aretha’s young life.
Staying true to the film’s theme, we asked McDonald how she found her voice, especially navigating an industry that is typically white-dominated.
