She then asked Tunie what it was like to be on a show with such a powerful legacy and breaking new ground in terms of representation and partnership. Tunie responded simply, “It feels amazing.” She continued on, “I’ve been doing this showbusiness thing for a long time now, and when I started my career, usually, regularly, almost all the time the only black person in the room.”
She explained how the soap was telling stories she was proud to be a part of. Sharing, “ It is putting out into the world this particular part of our culture, which we don’t see very often.”
