Cynthia Erivo is at the height of her acting powers right now, with her starring role in Wicked nabbing her an Oscar nomination and a huge fandom who celebrate all she does. That said, it wasn’t necessarily easy getting to that point. Back in 2007, when Erivo was a student of the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), she struggled immensely.
In a recent interview with The Guardian, Erivo discussed classism and racism while studying. Journalist Zoe Williams explains the vibe thusly: “Erivo doesn’t describe her experience [at RADA] in [racial] terms, but hearing her talk about it, the only way you’d call it ‘not racist’ is if you said: ‘Not just racist, also classist.’” However, it’s important to note that that quote isn’t directly from the actress’ mouth, and it’s worth noting that Erivo doesn’t seem to bear any grudge against RADA. In fact, she’s currently vice president of the institution, with David Harewood serving as president.
