I hope people online understand that the celebrity culture we've created is not really real. So when they're speaking to and about me, I'm a person, so I'm going to make mistakes. It's inevitable because I'm human.
I often find myself in situations where I am the token black person. It can feel like this enormous weight.
It's so important to create roles and characters and projects that feature black people in a way that's not specifically targeted towards the niche market, which is, like, a black movie is created, and it's produced and pitched so that only black people will watch it.
I'm really passionate about representation in film. I feel like the world is dominated by such a small group of human beings. There are so many different kinds of people that aren't represented, that don't have characters who look like them.
I love all kinds of art. I mean, I love sketching and acting and music.
Everyone experiences different parts of themselves at different times, these different parts of themselves that come out in different settings.
