You ’ re also starring in Season 2 of * Haus of Vicious * shortly after “ Trope ” premieres . How do you balance working on projects in such distinct genres , and what can fans expect from your character in both ? Liv is a young adult facing challenges and ultimately fighting for her life . My character on Haus of Vicious is similar to Liv ’ s ; strong-minded , tough , in charge , and doing what she needs to survive in circumstances that most would run from .
The “ Final Girls ” in “ Trope ” survived a series of gruesome events . Do you believe Liv has that same survival instinct in her ? How did you channel her inner strength in the role ? Liv is tough and exudes perseverance and strength which I think is important to show in a young , black woman . I mirror Liv in a sense , being a woman that doesn ’ t stop until I get what I feel
I ’ m owed or what I want out of life . In addition , similar to Liv , when my back is against the wall , I don ’ t falter .
With the film being released on BET + and your ongoing role in * Haus of Vicious *, what excites you most about this moment in your career , and what kind of stories are you hoping to tell in the future ? Being able to consistently work throughout 2024 has been a blessing , and all I can do is bask in the moment and be thankful . I am excited that these roles could possibly bring about bigger roles for me in 2025 . Having just started my acting career about four years ago and taking part in acting class , I am doing my due diligence to be taken seriously in this field , so I am appreciative that I ’ m being embraced .
