ON PLAYING AMERICAN FOOTBALL HERO AND ACTIVIST COLIN KAEPERNICK IN COLININBLACKANDWHITE
“I met him and he was like the coolest person ever — someone who I’ve looked up to my whole life. It was an eye-opener playing Colin. I learned a lot about myself and it helped me to think more cognitively about what it means to be Black in America. It was scary at times having to play such a living legend, but it was also really rewarding to learn so much about myself and my country’s history.”
