“I understood that it was important that I was there and that Jacob was there. It’s always been important whenever I’m in anything— mostly because of the reaction I’ve had from people who watch the shows I’ve done. [It was powerful to have] other black women and other black people coming up to me and being like, ‘We’re rooting for you. We’re so proud of you.’” — Nathalie Emmanuel by Savanna Ruedy for Nylon (October 2019)
