I want to be perceived as the woman who takes the hard route. I want to find the stories that people don't get to see very often, and I want to mine the characters for the complexity that women have. Some people are afraid of being an example to other young women. I love that-the idea of being an example to young women and women of color, showing them that there are so many different characters we can play and not to be afraid of that. Not to be afraid of searching for them, and finding them, and standing your ground knowing that these are characters you can play.
