In the issue she discusses the characters she plays, Olivia Pope, in “Scandal”, and Broomhilda, in “Django Unchained”.
On Olivia Pope:
“In her professional life, she is so powerful and is this self-made woman…but in [Olivia’s] personal life, she is a mess and I kind of love that. I love that I get to embody all of that complexity because I also think it takes a certain level of progress for us to have a Black Woman that powerful be an emotional mess on television.”
On ‘Broomhilda’ and the characters connection to Olivia:
“[Olivia] is the answer to Broomhilda’s prayers. I’m grateful that these two women on opposite ends of history, on opposite ends of their experience—both strong women but in such different ways, can exist at the same time.”
