What inspired you to pursue acting?
My first memory of inspiration has to be Whoopi Goldberg. Watching her in The Color Purple was a revelation; her whole being (mannerisms, physicality, voice) underwent this remarkable transformation. Her performance was utter alchemy and I wanted to “make gold” too. Not to mention, the rest of the cast was straight FIRE! That movie electrified me on a cellular level.
What is your dream role?
Leticia F*&$in’ Lewis from Lovecraft Country. (I’m not cussin’ at cha, that’s a quote from the show!) Leti is an entire mood. She goes on epic, action-packed adventures. She’s defiant, outspoken, witty, protective and courageous, yet still gets to be vulnerable and sweet with her lover. Leti’s stylish, sexy and just a lil’ dangerous – out here swingin’ a baseball bat and being underscored by Rhianna, I LIVE! Playing a leading lady with this level of complexity in a story of Black resistance? SIGN ME UP!!!
