Recently, she sat down with the SAG-AFTRA Foundation to discuss her experiences in Hollywood. She opened up about a failed TV pilot she worked on and how she decided to take on the production even though she knew it was a bad idea. She also explains the obstacles she had to overcome as a darker skinned actress and how casting directors, and producers would often times sideline her for acting opportunities.
