'It's such a complex situation yet also ... it's tied so simply to misogynoir,' QueenCharlotte's Arséma Thomas tells TODAY, referring to the misogyny that Black women face in which their race and gender are intersecting forms of oppression.
Arséma Thomas, who plays a young Lady Agatha Danbury in"Queen Charlotte," calls her role in the new"Bridgerton" series a type of"emotional reparations."and her early days as the first Black queen of England — Thomas says starring in the Regency-era drama provided an opportunity for her to address the oppression of Black women while also allowing them to reclaim their power.
Thomas says even with those types of oppressive systems in place, her character finds a way to fight back. The American-born actor, whose parents are Nigerian and Ethiopian, hopes that Lady Danbury's actions signal to other women, specifically Black women,"that they’re able to do that, as well know that they can stand on their own.”
"Finally being able to, like reclaim power in the room, in those situations, where white people are stripping me of my value and worth and thinking less of me, is almost — it feels like emotional reparations."
