You know the saying ‘ignorance is bliss?’ It’s my strongest weapon. By pretending that the challenges are not there, you fool other people to perceive you the way you perceive yourself. I was scared that I was going to be put in a box, so I pretended that my place was certain, that there was a special need for me. They wanted me to play a thus suburban girl who has a very strict father and is called Jasmine, and I couldn’t identify with those stories.
