Leah Sava Jeffries reveals in new interview that she did not let the book description of her character stop her from attending the casting call and wearing her hair in naturally and authentic each audition. The casting team loved her reads even more when she showed up with her natural hairstyles.
“My first two self-tapes were braids, and my third audition and chemistry read, I had my natural hair out. I feel really great when I film with my natural hair. It just makes me feel like I can play more of any character, especially strong characters.”
