'Tis the season for a holiday miracle and Hallmark Movies and Mysteries' first holiday movie for their Mahogany brand, 'The Holiday Stocking,' promises just that!
Still, the actress humbly balked at being recognized as such, saying she never got into the business"to become an icon."
"I just wanted to do good work," she shared. "I love acting -- I love all art. I just love artistry, period. But acting... it really got to me because it was a powerful tool." "I can make people feel a certain way, you know, and it was almost therapeutic. Like, maybe I feel like crap one moment and I have a job to do. when I go, I feel amazing on set. Everything is just therapeutically worked out through this character," she added. the roles she takes on, although there are moments when she has an idea of what she'd like to do next."But [then] it's what Hollywood will allow me to do at the moment.
But nowadays, Jones said, it feels like Hollywood is catching up on what actors like her are ready to tackle."I feel like our stories are being told [and] it's about time," she said."Black people, brown people, people of all identities... We all have a cultural background and ours just isn't slavery. We've seen those movies over and over and over again, and I appreciate the artistry of those movies. But that's not just our culture.
She continued:"We are a growing people. We have ancestors that have allowed us to create a way where we live excellence. And for Hallmark to give us [room to show] that -- because as far as I'm concerned they've been doing it and doing really great movies for a long time. But to [check themselves] and say, 'You know what, we're not including a group. Let's give them their own and have them on ours as well. Let them tell their stories.", Jones mused.
