People just can't wrap their heads around two young black women in a major production.

I come from a family of strong women, who have been positive role models for me.

I am a black woman, and of course, that's who I'm going to be playing, but I'm also biracial, and that's a different side of the experience.

I just hope I can still take the subway, honestly.

I kind of just want to look like a cool French girl in the Sixties most of the time. Or TLC.

I never thought I would actually become a professional actor. I just kept going with it. One thing led to another.
