You see it more so in models with African texture being embraced in different fashion houses and fashion magazines. In projects I’ve done recently, I have been able to wear my natural hair or not wear a wig. It hasn’t necessarily been embraced in a lot of projects. Whereas before, I had really allowed where it wasn’t necessarily necessary for a character to be white-washed or to not have the freedom of texture or pro-ethnicity. If I have freckles, I might paint even a few more on. If I have really naturally curly hair, I’m going to wear a fro. It should be about enhancing who you are and elevating who you naturally are.

It was the most fun I’ve had on a movie by far.” On why Operation Christmas Drop isn’t a “corny Christmas movie” We literally had to overdub a lot of the movie because we were shooting on a live base. There were certain ways we couldn’t shoot because it was super confidential about what kind of planes or military equipment the Air Force had that could not be in a Netflix movie. The Air Force wasn’t just there training, doing their exercises.

A full live Air Force base, by the way, so we’d be in the middle of a take and there’d be jets flying over us. “We shot it on the Anderson Air Force base. It was the hottest place I had ever been-and I have family in Arizona, that should tell you.
We shot in Guam in the middle of summer, and we were so hot. This one was the complete opposite where people were borderline getting heat strokes.
