She recently received the Gotham Independent Film Award for Outstanding Performance in a New Series.
Talking about the character, Cora, in an interview with Women’s Wear Daily, Mbedu said: “Cora and her journey gave voice to parts of me that I didn’t understand. It felt like I was seen, my voice is being heard. And now that my voice is being heard, what are we talking about.”
