Quotes

“I think my journey with self love has been one that isn’t very linear, but I think that’s very realistic.”

“I don’t expect anyone to know how to say my name right off the bat, that would be very presumptuous of me, but I do expect the respect of people trying to say my name and giving their best attempt every time they do say my name. Because I deserve that just as much as they do, as much as everyone does.”

“It’s also okay if you’re not like Devi too, because you don’t have to be. You don’t have to be like anything that you’ve seen on TV. And that is fine because you’re you, just as worthy of a TV show, of being a main character.”

“I’m just obsessed with my job. [laughs] No, I feel like the characters that I like to play, whether it’s Princess Peach [from the Super Mario franchise] or videogame characters like Lisa from Genshin Impact are just characters that maybe traditionally don’t look like me, but I still think are dope.”

“Hopefully other brown girls rise up too. But I want to make sure that I also get to play roles so that we all can just keep acting. I’m not going to stop acting just to make room for somebody else. Because that’s where they get you, this myth that there can only be one.”
