Banks wants to focus her attention on “bringing positive images of women to the big screen” according to insiders.

“My next huge steps will allow me to reach more women and young girls to help us all feel as fierce as we truly are,” Banks revealed.

With encouragement from her friends, filmmaker Tyler Perry and her mentor Oprah Winfrey, Banks is hoping to conquer the big screen by following her dream of moving into film producing.
