I wish writing was a talent that I had. I’ve tried. Unfortunately, I’m just not talented in the writing department. But, if I was, I would just write complicated roles for women because there’s a lack of them.

Candice Patton at the Fan Favorites Panel at San Diego Comic Con 2019. Fan Feedback: After [Candice’s] casting as Iris, we have seen more black women be cast in race-bent, leading lady roles. Despite the racism that she continues to combat, Candice’s performance as Iris has been trail-blazing. Did she realize to the extent which her performance and character would become so important to opening up doors for other talented, amazing black women when she was cast?

the_annadiop: I don’t know who needs to hear this today: but your 4c hair is beautiful. I post a lot in wigs because I’m often in them but I feel most beautiful in my natural hair and a huge part of my goal in this industry is to encourage women to feel beautiful in their natural state too. *Yes this is me trying to set up a camera before my friend comes over to help me tape :) #naturalhair #nofilter #blackgirlmagic

I always thought my jaw line was manly. I have this pockmark on my chin from when I was 9. I used to get freaked out about it because people thought it was a pimple. But those are the things I’ve become really comfortable with as I’ve gotten older. My scars.
