gathered to discuss their experiences in their roles and why representation is so important and impactful in today’s world.
Many of the women on the panel had similar stories, but ultimately found that standing for representation was much more important to them than being liked by everyone. Patton hopes that her character on “The Flash” can serve as a role model for Black girls who may not see themselves on screen often. “I’m really honored to play this role of the first Black lesbian superhero. Because when I think of that, I think of all the Black lesbians who have not been able to visually see themselves when they go to the cinema or they watch their favorite TV shows,” Williams said. “And for me, it’s one thing knowing that there is a role for it, but when you’re in that role and you’re getting feedback, you realize the importance of it and how much it is necessary and how much you need it.
The women also shared which of their characters’ superpowers they would like to use to help solve issues of social justice. “Batwoman doesn’t necessarily have a superpower, but I do have the ability to put a mask on and do things that I feel other citizens are too scared to do based off of it ruining their reputation or it putting their family in danger,” Leslie said.
