I was working in the States when Brexit was going on back home in England. I often think that maybe I got a little complacent on the situation since I wasn't physically there. That's when I realized, Wow, anything is possible.

I was always the one leading the way in terms of wanting to do acting, singing and dancing.

I'm a multi-faceted human being.

Don't worry about society's conditioning and the labels that are put on you by external forces. Hold onto your true self.

But when you become a slave to a public persona and don’t feel comfortable without it, it becomes a shield and it shouldn’t come at the expense of your self-worth.

As a biracial girl growing up in England, I'd never really seen any historical characters who looked like me depicted on film before that weren't being brutalized or playing slaves.

I'm just broadening my craft and stretching my skills a little bit in different directions.
