I could listen to her talk all day

[@dymondkittync]

I love that at 8 she was raised to already understand that it wasn't her that was the problem. And to know when something wasn't right and wasn't going to be of value for her ❤️. Amazing talent and beautiful.

[@soundrasimpson7885]

Sadly, we're still not understood....our thought process, language, ways or style. I absolutely love being a beautiful Black woman! I wouldn't change a thing. ❤️

[@gcromer903]

My new favorite actor. Great life lessons. Much respect for The Woman King. Will now go find her other work. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful video! “Exiting spaces that don’t appreciate me” that is a modus operandi I can get behind!

The fact that I never even considered that she might not be American is a credit to her acting ability 😭

[@shannonbarker92]

do you mean.. that you think only American people can act? 😂

[@DiaryofAllisonNicole]

@@shannonbarker92 she probably met that Lashana played an American well in marvel

[@kernaishaxoxo]

@@shannonbarker92 I feel like it’s very clear that’s not what I meant.

[@kazkazzie3906]

Lashana, I love seeing you on screen. You are so talented. I love that you were so smart to recognise at a young age where you were not appreciated and moved on to where you were appreciated; that's fantastic 👏
I am a big fan. I wish you well in your life and career 😊
