Jasika Nicole says her gender identity has affected her casting
In a 2019 interview with Advocate, Jasika Nicole says being a queer, biracial woman has affected her when it comes to getting roles. “I think that my queerness has affected my casting since my career began… but people are not as open to that possibility, which is really interesting,” the actress told the publication.
“It’s so bizarre because nobody’s gonna argue that being a woman affects your casting, that being a person of color affects your casting,” says Jasika Nicole. “So, if you know that you’re working in a misogynist, racist industry, it doesn’t make sense that it wouldn’t also be homophobic.”
