I was trying to explain to my boys that Jamie Foxx, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Will Smith are blockbuster movie stars due to certain roles that they took. Whereas Michael B. Jordan, Mahershala Ali, and Andre Holland are not due to the movies/stories that they’re truly invested in telling.

Harper's character had a racial awakening when she chose to reject this world that comes with money, politics, and influence. Her intersecting identities as a Black woman were very much put to the back burner for this idea of "merit," but now that she's there... she don't want it. Kwabena called it.
