This commitment to diverse casting has had a profound impact on the industry. It not only provided opportunities for once unknown Black actors to showcase their skills, but also shattered stereotypes and challenged preconceived notions about who gets to tell stories on screen. Top Boy has given voice to an often voiceless community and allowed them to shine through.
Being Black British and a masculine presenting lesbian like Jaq, is a nuanced identity that we rarely see in film and television. More often than not, the industry invalidates queer experiences as a whole by overlooking them. TV is a mediums many people look towards to feel seen, and through Jobson's portrayal many people could relate to her character for the first time in their lives.
Lauryn's story becomes even more tragic in the final season, and it truly highlights the realities of living through domestic abuse and coercive control. Although she escaped her abuser and is reunited with her family, she still lives with the crippling pain of that experience.
