CaptainMarvel and NoTimeToDie star Lashana Lynch says that she hopes her presence on screen 'is shining a light' on the power of Black women and that she has just one thing to tell the trolls who criticized her casting
But Lynch’s role isn’t just personally significant to her. She also said that she understands and empathizes with Black women who are looking to her and other Black actresses for representation on screen.
“We [Black women] know how it feels to be mis- and under-represented and we know how it feels to yearn for someone, anyone in the world to speak our truth for us when we feel like we don’t have a voice,” she said. “And I’m hoping that my career and my choice in roles and me just being me, authentically, is shining a light on our power.”
As for those who were critical of Lynch’s casting, including a barrage of racist online trolls, the British Jamaican actor had a simple response to them — it’s “none of my business.” “I don’t have anything to say to the trolls apart from it’s none of my business what you think, you have the freedom to live in your truth just like I have the freedom to live in mine.”
