Now, Lashana is showcasing her ‘vulnerable’ side in her outstanding performance as the sweet primary school teacher.
When asked how it felt to take on the role of Miss Honey as a Black woman, Lashana explained: ‘I feel like I’ve spiritually been given the opportunity to gift my childhood self what I didn’t get as a child, which is incredible. I get to watch myself create something for younger generations today and going forward.’
‘It’s really amazing to play someone in charge, to play someone who can handle themselves,’ she began.
