"I always make sure that whoever I work with, they’re aware of me as a person and not just a token for the brand. If I’m on set and the set is not accessible, I make sure to say something. If you’re hiring someone who uses crutches, yet there are no elevators on set, or they have to climb a bunch of stairs just to get to hair and makeup—that’s a problem. I feel like people recognize that I’m a black woman, but oftentimes they forget the disability part. On one hand, that’s a good thing because sometimes that’s the only thing people focus on. But we have a multitude of identities—there’s pride in being a woman, there’s pride in being black, and there’s pride in being disabled."
