blah blah blah something about me realising that a lot of actors of colour only do comedy films/tv shows??? like if this is their choice and what they want to do, great! but is it just me or is there a lack of like drama or other 'serious' genres ft. actors of colour?

tequila. i've only ever done shots but to date, i think about the smell and want to throw up!
