<a href="http://www.instyle.com/celebrity/gugu-mbatha-raw" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #bf1c23; text-decoration-line: none;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw</a>’s acting portfolio boasts roles like a bonnet-wearing 18th-century aristocrat in <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Belle</i>, a violet-haired pop star in <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Beyond the Lights</i>, and a futuristic astronaut in <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Cloverfield Paradox</i>, to name a few. It’s impossible to predict whom the 35-year-old is going to play next—and that’s just how she likes it. “No one wants to be stuck in a box,” Mbatha-Raw says. “I have a short attention span and want to keep myself interested. Variety is the spice of life, and I never want to get bored.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 17px; letter-spacing: 0.3px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 28px; margin-top: 28px;">
At our New York City shoot, she is in full-on storytelling mode, assigning personalities to the many hats she tries on. An oversize green Mulberry topper is “very <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">My Fair Lady</i>,” a straw-bow Delpozo style is appropriately dubbed Minnie Mouse, and a wide-brimmed Elie Saab design is so “Anne of Green Gables” that Mbatha-Raw jokes she should go get some honey from her bees as she poses.</div>

There’s no doubt that Mbatha-Raw loves what she refers to as the dress-up element of getting into character, but when it comes to her hair and makeup, she prefers to keep things simple. “I feel most beautiful when I’m not being perceived as beautiful,” she says over coffee in Brooklyn a few days after our shoot. “If I’m not thinking about what I look like, then I’m just happy and free to be myself.” Growing up in rural Oxfordshire, “a million miles away from Hollywood or any big city,” she was raised by her English mom, a nurse, and her South African dad, a doctor, to “nurture the soul, spirit, and intelligence rather than the exterior.” That notion has stuck with Mbatha-Raw, so it’s been a process for her to accept the value placed on appearance in the entertainment industry. “I’ve had to come to terms with the concept of beauty without judging it as a vacuous thing,” she says. “My image is part of my job, but I’m getting more comfortable with knowing that it doesn’t define who I am or mean that I’m a superficial person. It’s about expressing yourself.” </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 17px; letter-spacing: 0.3px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 28px; margin-top: 28px;">
Both on and off camera, Mbatha-Raw favors wearing her voluminous, curly hair as is. If a project specifically calls for another hairstyle, “it <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">really</i> has to support the story,” she says, explaining that her role in 2014’s <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Beyond the Lights</i> was one such case. “My character ultimately took out her purple weave and wore her hair natural, which was essential in the evolution of her authenticity.” For <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Cloverfield Paradox</i>, which hit Netflix in February, she was determined to have her character depicted just as authentically. “I was quite adamant about showing my natural hair onscreen, because I had never really seen anyone with hair like mine in a sci-fi movie,” she says. “Images are so important, and I thought it was an opportunity for little girls growing up mixed to feel included and see that they can be an astronaut too.” Though her hair appeared totally natural in the film, she did get a bit of added length from extensions. “I could never shed the character because I was literally carrying her on my scalp,” she says. “That was hard, because at the end of the day, you really want to strip it all back and just be you.”</div>

Mbatha-Raw is all for a toned-down look, and after having her hair pressed into a retro “wet set” style for the upcoming 1950s drama <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Motherless Brooklyn</i>, she gained a newfound appreciation for today’s more relaxed beauty standards. “I’m grateful that in the 21st century, I have the freedom to go to yoga or SoulCycle without having to worry about what I look like,” she says. “But even though I’m constantly running around barefaced with wet hair, I really do respect that element of putting yourself together before you step out the front door. There’s definitely power in making a choice about how you present yourself to the world, as long as you never feel tied to wearing a mask.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 17px; letter-spacing: 0.3px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 28px; margin-top: 28px;">
Disguises are limited to the big screen for Mbatha-Raw, who doesn’t plan on pursuing a full-time gig on TV anytime soon. “I have to say, I’m a bit of a commitment-phobe,” she says with a laugh. “I just can’t get my head around the idea of playing one character for several years right now, which is why I like film. It’s nice to have a beginning, middle, and end. That way, you know where you’re going.” She might know where she’s headed, but one thing’s for sure: Her audience certainly never will. </div>

A letter had arrived at the family home in Witney, Oxfordshire. It wasn’t in just any old envelope; this bore a seal, and the words “Her Majesty’s Service”. Mbatha-Raw giggled down the line from Los Angeles. “Mother!’ she said. “It’s the damehood!”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;">
The truth’s not so far removed: when we meet for lunch in London in January, Mbatha-Raw is fresh from a trip to Buckingham Palace to collect an MBE. “It was incredible,” she says sounding wistful, slightly in awe. “A chamber orchestra performed, sun streamed through the windows. Afterwards there was champagne and photos. It felt like a very posh graduation.” Still, if you think she’s wide-eyed about it, you should see her parents: “I think they’re more impressed than they would be if I won an Oscar.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;">
Awards season and its role in celebrating, or at least promoting, issues of diversity and equality is everywhere when we speak. “As much as people may be critical of those zeitgeisty moments, they have changed awareness,” she says. “Producers and casting directors have had to interrogate their choices, and it’s the same with the women’s movement: people are now calling out who’s not in the room, who’s not represented.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;">
In many ways, she observes, we’re repurposing awards ceremonies now. As protests? “Yeah, and that’s a good thing. I think we should be using them as ways to have discussions, rather than just treating them as shiny ego boosts for the industry. Because at some point, you have to ask: ‘What are these pats on the back for?’”</div>

I wonder if Mbatha-Raw has ever felt a pressure to be a spokesperson. There aren’t many bi-racial women flying a flag for Britain in Hollywood. Is there a duty to represent, alongside the work? She thinks for a moment. “Well, I think it’s got to be authentic to your personality,” she points out. “So I don’t think you have to be a mascot for a cause, no. Personally, I think quite carefully about the choices I make, in terms of the work, and there’s a power in that choice. You know, sometimes I think choices speak for themselves.”Mbatha-Raw has known Oprah for a while now. “We met when I was promoting [the 2013 film] <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/jun/15/belle-review-costume-drama-teeth-slavery" style="background: transparent; border-bottom: 0.0625rem solid rgb(220, 220, 220); color: #6b5840; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none !important; touch-action: manipulation; transition: border-color 0.15s ease-out;"><em>Belle</em></a>, and we’ve stayed in touch,” she says. “We email, and I see her from time to time.” So what does she think of Oprah as the next president? “Oh, she’s so influential and wise,” she says as if it’s blindingly obvious, “I think she’d be amazing. To take a moment like that [an awards acceptance speech] and really use it as your platform… to have that power and confidence. I find that so inspiring.”</div>

<em>Belle</em> was the true story of a bi-racial aristocrat raised by a white family in Georgian Britain. Oprah offered her assistance in marketing it in the US. “The next thing we knew she’d invited the cast to lunch in her garden in Santa Barbara, and when we got there, she’d invited a film crew. So she basically made a moment for the film in America.”</div>

Mbatha-Raw had grown up watching <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hasKmDr1yrA" style="background: transparent; border-bottom: 0.0625rem solid rgb(220, 220, 220); color: #6b5840; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none !important; touch-action: manipulation; transition: border-color 0.15s ease-out;">Colin Firth’s <em>Pride and Prejudice</em></a> on TV with her mum in an era of Jane Austen adaptations, “but brown people don’t figure in those stories or they’re usually brutalised, subservient,” she says. “You’re basically a servant.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;">
<em>Belle</em> was different, giving a voice to a tale that rarely figures in the history books. “It had this very pioneering spirit,” she says. “In films, books, people generally go with what we know. The same stories get told. But this wasn’t from a novel.” She makes the point so elegantly, and with such passion. As the film’s director Amma Asante reveals: “Belle was a role Gugu chased down for eight years. A lot of actresses wanted that role, but she kept on it, all through development. So I think for her, there was definitely much more to the film than just giving a great performance.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;">
Mbatha-Raw has already<strong><em> </em></strong>worked with three major black female directors: Asante (who made 2017’s <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/sep/09/a-united-kingdom-review-rosamund-pike-david-oyelowo-toronto" style="background: transparent; border-bottom: 0.0625rem solid rgb(220, 220, 220); color: #6b5840; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none !important; touch-action: manipulation; transition: border-color 0.15s ease-out;"><em>A United Kingdom</em></a>); <em>Love and Basketball</em> auteur Gina Prince-Bythewood, whom Mbatha-Raw worked with on critically acclaimed hip-hop drama <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/nov/14/beyond-the-lights-review" style="background: transparent; border-bottom: 0.0625rem solid rgb(220, 220, 220); color: #6b5840; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none !important; touch-action: manipulation; transition: border-color 0.15s ease-out;"><em>Beyond the Lights</em></a> (“The moment she auditioned, she was creating the film before my eyes,” Prince-Bythewood remembers), and now Ava DuVernay.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;">
But her life still has its share of “starry moments”, which is how she describes <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/02/2016-hollywood-issue-cover" style="background: transparent; border-bottom: 0.0625rem solid rgb(220, 220, 220); color: #6b5840; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none !important; touch-action: manipulation; transition: border-color 0.15s ease-out;">appearing on the 2016 Hollywood cover of <em>Vanity Fair</em></a> alongside Helen Mirren and Jennifer Lawrence. This month she stars on the cover of British <em>Vogue</em>. It’s also part of the job to attend the red carpet events and glitzy premieres. Talking of which, doesn’t rumour have it that Prince played at a certain after-party?</div>

“Ah,” she says, looking part surprised, part embarrassed. “Yes, that was for <em>Belle</em>. But I’d actually known him for a few years before.” How so? “He was accepting a lifetime achievement award at a ceremony that I attended, and he invited me and a friend to one of his house parties.” She chuckles: “I know, it’s crazy.” Then she waves a hand, eyes suddenly looking glassy. “Sorry,” she says. “He became a really good friend.” To this day, she still has the T-shirt he made her for <em>Belle</em>’s premiere. “He was really supportive of emerging artists, so he came and DJ’d – he said he wanted to create an ‘energy vortex’,” she laughs. “He was wearing a T-shirt with <em>Belle</em> printed on the front. And then he gave one to me.” She waves the hand again. “When he died, it was a shock. I found out about it on my birthday.”</div>

Born in 1983, Mbatha-Raw would have been just a year old when Prince picked up his Academy Award for Purple Rain. At this peak in his career, her mother, a white British nurse, and father, a black South African doctor, would more likely have been fans. Actually, Mbatha-Raw says, she was raised mainly on jazz; her parents separated when she was one and she recalls listening to Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone in the car as a little girl, on the way to ballet with her mum. As an only child, every weekday evening was filled with after-school clubs. “My mum was an only child, too, so we didn’t have a big family. I was one of those kids who was signed up to everything.” By the time she was eight, she’d already requested to attend the Sylvia Young Theatre School in London – a decision that was probably inspired by Billie Piper. “She went there and she was a huge pop star. But there was also this show on TV called <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Biz_(TV_series)" style="background: transparent; border-bottom: 0.0625rem solid rgb(220, 220, 220); color: #6b5840; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none !important; touch-action: manipulation; transition: border-color 0.15s ease-out;"><em>The Biz</em></a>. It was Paul Nicholls in his really cute teenage days, and it was about a stage school. I absolutely loved it.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;">
Looking back, it was probably a good thing that her mum couldn’t afford Sylvia Young’s, she says. “When I got to Rada at 18, I’d had a normal upbringing – I wasn’t one of those actors who had already been worn down for 10 years when they started working.” She also thinks her mixed heritage has given her a useful perspective: “When one of your parents is from somewhere else, I think you look beyond your hometown. My name is rooted to a different culture [her full name is Guguletu, which means “our pride” in Zulu], and when you’re tethered to another place you look outwardly at the world.” For the first few days of her life, she was actually called Sophie. “Then my dad changed his mind,” she laughs. “Now I have a name that everyone asks me how to pronounce five times and can never spell. But do you know what? You apologise for it or you own it. So, I choose to own it.” In Hollywood it works, she says; you never get confused with anybody else.</div>

Recently she started work on the drama <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385887/" style="background: transparent; border-bottom: 0.0625rem solid rgb(220, 220, 220); color: #6b5840; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none !important; touch-action: manipulation; transition: border-color 0.15s ease-out;"><em>Motherless Brooklyn</em></a> (with Bruce Willis and Alec Baldwin), making it the second time in six months that she’s filmed in New York. You get the impression that might suit her better. But she’s constantly moving, the list of upcoming projects growing. Later in the year she’ll work with Gina Prince-Bythewood again, on an adaptation of Roxane Gay’s novel, <em>An Untamed State</em>.</div>

The project she talks about most is <em>Farming</em>, a low-budget British independent based on Nigerian-British writer <a class="u-underline" data-link-name="in body link" href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2012/may/13/adewale-akinnuoye-agbaje-interview" style="background: transparent; border-bottom: 0.0625rem solid rgb(220, 220, 220); color: #6b5840; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none !important; touch-action: manipulation; transition: border-color 0.15s ease-out;">Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje</a>’s experience of being fostered by a white working-class family in Essex, not due for release until later this year. Set in the 1980s, it examines the effect of thousands of Nigerian children being farmed out to private carers in the UK, many of them never registered with social services or reunited with their parents.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;">
For Mbatha-Raw, it’s an important story to tell. “I guess it’s another chapter in British history that hasn’t really been revealed,” she says. It’s these kind of nameless stories that are becoming key to her work: “At the beginning of your career, I think it’s about having the luxury of being able to work. Then, maybe the why becomes more important. The more you do, the more you question why. You start to ask if you should be contributing something, rather than just entertaining.” She smiles, warm and amiable, but I can’t help noticing there’s ferocity there. “Now, when I’m thinking about investing my time in a project, there’s always that question: ‘How will this be worth it?’”</div>

As the entertainment director of <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Stylist</i>, it’s easy for me to say someone is an important name to know. Someone you should commit to memory and follow their career path because what they are doing is versatile, skilled and barrier-breaking. It’s not often the Queen agrees with me (to my chagrin). But this time the Queen does agree with me, recently awarding Gugu Mbatha-Raw – that aforementioned name to know – with an MBE for services to the arts, an honour she received a few weeks ago at Buckingham Palace: the royal seal of approval in its purest form.</div>
<div class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Hurme Geometric Sans 3", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 1.188rem; letter-spacing: 0.015em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Mbatha-Raw, 34, is an actor who has been working hard for years, gradually increasing her profile, proving and improving her talents. It’s interesting that 2018, a momentous year for women, is the year that she will be catapulted into the big time with her ability to command whichever screen she is on. I suspect it’s also of note that she’s an actor who has largely worked with female directors on her biggest roles (except 2016’s sublime <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Black Mirror</i> series three episode San Junipero), including her breakout role in 2014’s <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Belle</i>, directed by Amma Asante, and <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Beyond The Lights</i> by Gina Prince-Bythewood the same year, which both centre on women who want – need – their voices to be heard in very different confines.<span style="font-size: 1.188rem; letter-spacing: 0.015em;">Currently, Mbatha-Raw can be seen all over Netflix in the recently released science-fiction film </span><i style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.188rem; letter-spacing: 0.015em;">The Cloverfield Paradox</i><span style="font-size: 1.188rem; letter-spacing: 0.015em;"> and </span><i style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.188rem; letter-spacing: 0.015em;">Irreplaceable You</i><span style="font-size: 1.188rem; letter-spacing: 0.015em;">, a love story about a woman diagnosed with terminal cancer. It pains me to say that while neither film quite manages to live up to its promise, she is nonetheless magnetic in both, providing empathy and poise and making each worth watching. More importantly there’s this month’s Disney fantasy adventure, </span><i style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.188rem; letter-spacing: 0.015em;">A Wrinkle In Time</i><span style="font-size: 1.188rem; letter-spacing: 0.015em;">, based on the eponymous 1962 novel by Madeleine L’Engle, that puts her into a whole new stratosphere alongside Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling. Culturally, the film is incredibly important: it’s directed by Ava DuVernay, the first African American woman to helm a $100 million (£72 million) film, and has at its centre a young woman of colour, played by </span><i style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.188rem; letter-spacing: 0.015em;">12 Years A Slave</i><span style="font-size: 1.188rem; letter-spacing: 0.015em;">’s Storm Reid, who travels on a mission through space and time to find her father (Mbatha-Raw plays her scientist mother). The likes of Beyoncé were at the film’s February premiere in Los Angeles.</span></div>

Coming up there are films that will cement her standing as she appears front and centre alongside Hollywood’s biggest stars in significant projects. In <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Motherless Brooklyn</i>, due in 2019, she stars alongside heavyweights Edward Norton and Bruce Willis in the story of a lonely private detective in the Fifties. She’s also, excitingly, attached to the film adaptation of Roxane Gay’s debut novel <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Untamed State</i>, in which she’ll again be directed by Prince-Bythewood.</div>

With so many projects on the go, the actor now lives in Los Angeles but grew up in Witney, Oxfordshire with her English mother after she separated from her South African husband when Mbatha-Raw was a year old. At <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Stylist</i>’s photoshoot, she is properly fun: loving the idea of graffiti-ing and getting the artist on set to show her how to do it properly. “Growing up in a not-remotely-urban environment, there wasn’t much opportunity for graffiti in Witney,” she laughs. Later at our interview, which takes place the day after meeting Prince Charles to receive her MBE, she’s equally buoyant, displaying a childlike excitement about the button you can press to get a waiter to bring you coffee in the Covent Garden Hotel. Drink ordered, we start talking about all the things that are on her mind right now…</div>

“Oprah Winfrey was a champion of <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Belle</i> and is an incredible thinker and leader. We didn’t have any scenes together in <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Wrinkle</i>, unfortunately, but she did come and have a chat in my trailer one day; it was lovely to see her, she’s so wonderful and very, very grounded. She’s a brilliant orator and has a centre that is authentic, and that is why it touches people – you feel like it’s coming from the right place. Her spiritual centre is also something that inspires me. When <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Belle</i> came out, she was very helpful in terms of being able to appreciate things. She was the first person to introduce me to the concept of a gratitude diary, and – without sounding super saccharine – it is a good way to keep perspective and not become too bratty. I write mine when I get on a plane. I take a moment before taking off to think, ‘OK, here we are and where am I going and where have I come from.’”<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></div>

“I’ve never really been a follower. Perhaps being an only child or having parents from two very different cultures, you’re forced to see things from different perspectives and understand that there are many ways to view the world. I think that helps you think for yourself. It’s something you have to nurture as well; your choices are what you have in this job. Gina Prince-Bythewood, who directed <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Beyond The Lights</i>, always used to say that when you’re making a film, the reason you’re doing it has to be bigger than you. You start off acting or doing plays at school because you love it, then you get the luxury of choice and then you think, ‘OK, what is the reason, why am I doing this?’</div>

When choosing roles, I’m often thinking about how it’s going to help culture evolve. We’re all here to contribute in that little marathon. It is a responsibility if you’re asking people to pay money to look at your face for two hours on a screen – so you better have something interesting to say.”</div>

“I don’t know who nominated me for it or how I got it; maybe someone will let me know in the future! I’d never been to Buckingham Palace before. My parents came with me and were so excited – my mum was being a typical mum and didn’t want us to be late, and then our taxi driver dropped us in the wrong place. My dad had to limbo under some barriers on the way in. We were scrambling in like complete imposters, but it was amazing and there was so much energy. You’re separated from your guests, which I didn’t realise would happen, and taken to a room with all the other people being awarded, which for me included Pamela Butcher, the 88-year-old table-tennis world champion. When you go up to receive the MBE itself there’s this etiquette where you have to curtsey to Prince Charles, who was doing our ceremony, and address him as ‘Your Royal Highness’ first and ‘Sir’ thereafter. It’s a huge honour and wonderful surprise, but it won’t change how I live my life on a day-to-day basis.”</div>

“I’ve always been interested in art and how it represents our culture. I love taking life-drawing classes, but I don’t get to do as much of it as I’d like because I’m quite all or nothing. I was crazily into the Pre-Raphaelites when I was about 17 and loved the painting of Ophelia at Tate Britain – I would go and just stare at it. Then when I was doing my art A-level, it was when all the Young British Artists such as Jenny Saville – who had that very fleshy painting style, which I liked – were huge.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Hurme Geometric Sans 3", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 1.188rem; letter-spacing: 0.015em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
It was actually, at a certain stage in my life, a toss-up between pursuing fine art or acting. I spent the whole of my A-levels in the art block; I loved it, but it was very intense. As much as I loved painting and drawing, it made me very introspective. The thing I loved about theatre was that it made me engage with other people.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Hurme Geometric Sans 3", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 1.188rem; letter-spacing: 0.015em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Growing up as an only child and then getting into theatre brought me out of myself. I still love going to galleries – I’ve been to The Broad, which is the newest one in LA, and I also love the LACMA. I was just in New York at the Met this weekend, which is amazing because it’s immense. But in America it’s so expensive [to visit art galleries]. “Being able to just wander into a gallery in London was hugely inspiring, and I think it should be [free] for everybody.”</div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">On finding spiritual space</span></h3>

“I’d definitely describe myself as spiritual. I’ve done yoga for about 12 years and I find it physically engages me. I was first introduced to meditation a few years ago through an online series with Oprah and Deepak Chopra [through the Chopra Meditation Center]. To be able to know what the tools are and have access to them to ground yourself is so important. This week I was doing a camera test in New York, then on Monday I went to Buckingham Palace, I’m flying to LA this afternoon… if I didn’t have stability, I’d go crazy. It’s important to know there’s something just for you and [a way to] get back to neutral that’s not about achieving anything. The word ‘yoga’ means ‘union’ in Sanskrit; the idea of union within yourself when you’re always playing different characters, and turning up different elements of your personality, is hugely important, especially for longevity.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Hurme Geometric Sans 3", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 1.188rem; letter-spacing: 0.015em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
This can be a bruising business, and a lot of people either give up or have a meltdown. For me it’s essential to have these tools.”</div>

“I love tragedy – it’s one of my favourite genres, the dark, deep places – but I think you’ve also got to know at the end of it all why you went through it and feel that there is some potential for hope. I don’t like everything to be shiny and perfect with a happy ending; if you’re going to go on a journey with somebody, you want to at least feel.</div>

I really loved Roxane Gay’s books <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Bad Feminist</i> and <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Hunger</i> – I found the latter an incredibly difficult but inspiring book. It was challenging and emotional and raw and honest. I read a lot of spiritual books; I’m totally not afraid of the self-help section. I’ve read all of Brené Brown’s books [<i style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Gifts Of Imperfection</i>, <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Daring Greatly</i>, <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Rising Strong</i>, and <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Braving The Wilderness</i>] – I love her, going back to when I saw her 2012 Ted Talk a couple of years ago. If you’re dealing a lot with things that are to do with emotions and storytelling, then unpicking things in a more analytical way is using a different part of my brain. It’s good to exercise it.”</div>

“I have one cup of coffee a day, so I like it to be a good one – a white Americano. I got an espresso machine as a gift and thought, ‘I’m never going to use it – I like having coffee out’, but actually it’s brilliant. Although one thing I can’t do is frothing the milk. There’s a place in LA I sometimes go to called Intelligentsia – one of those ‘coffee snob’ places. I was talking to a guy who was training there and he was like, ‘Oh no, I’m not on to milk yet. Coffee is one thing, but milk – you have to be here for a few months before you get to know that.’ I was like, ‘Are you serious?’”</div>

“[With <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">A Wrinkle In Time</i>] Ava [DuVernay] is the first woman of colour to be given a budget of more than a hundred million dollars to direct a film. I was so inspired to work with her. I think that is worth talking about, because it’s a first. While we’re still having these first moments, it’s a good reference point as to where we really are as opposed to where we think we are. Where is the representation? Constantly questioning that is so important. Thinking about who is not in the room is something that came up in the first <a automate_uuid="2a39eeb5-d402-4e7f-b77f-3ee836ce836b" href="https://www.stylist.co.uk/tag/timesup" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3dd2be; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 75ms ease-in-out;" target="_blank">Time’s Up</a> meeting I went to in LA.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw Interview A Wrinkle In Time | On Her Role As Dr. Murry</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
Since watching her in the film Belle, my daughter has been a huge fan of Gugu Mbatha-Raw. For her, it was the strong female character she portrayed. Seeing a female on the screen present herself as strong, elegant, and determined made an impact in my daughter’s eyes. Although I wish we would see more of Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Dr. Murry in <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">A Wrinkle In Time.</em> I know my daughter is going to be thrilled watching her on the big screen.</div>

Gugu Mbatha-Raw always seems to be playing strong female roles as she did in <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">A Wrinkle In Time</em>. Where she plays Dr. Murry, a single mom after her husband’s disappearance. Raising her children on her own, while still mourning his loss. The film brings in such a huge diversity of topics such as multicultural families, intelligence in girls, single parenting, and the fight between good and evil. </div>

Gugu’s Eight-Year-Old Fan – My Daughter</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
For the fact that my daughter is such a huge fan of Gugu, I wanted to know what she was hoping that young girls would take away from the film?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
“Some of the themes are actually very similar to me and what I’m drawn to. The idea of finding your voice. I think the idea that who you are is enough is something that I really respond to in this story especially in Storm’s character. Growing up being bullied at school, being uncomfortable in her own skin, not sure where she fits. Those are definitely themes that were in <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Belle</em>, in <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Beyond the Lights,</em> and in many stories that I’m attracted to.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">

<span style="background-color: white;">Desire To Work With Ava DuVernay</span></h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Knowing your worth in the industry you are in is important to make impactful decisions. In this case, Gugu’s decision of becoming apart of <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">A Wrinkle In Time</em> just made sense. </span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">“It was a no-brainer to me. I really wanted to be a part of this game-changing moment really in the industry. I could feel that this, the way that she was going to cast this film, the fact that it’s historically significant that she’s even directing this film as a woman of color. I wanted to be a part of that girl gang. I wanted to be celebrating what this means culturally”.</span></div>

Favorite Quote In The Film</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
While interviewing the cast we learned that the message behind the film was important. What lessons did Gugu learn while playing Dr. Murry in the film? </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
“I think Oprah has the line, <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">know all you have to do is find the right frequency and be who you are</em>. I was like, that’s the key to life, isn’t it? Just find the right frequency. Find your tribe. Find your purpose. Find the thing that sets you alight and know your frequency, your vibe and then just do that, do you, be authentic”.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Preparing To Become Dr. Murry</span></h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">To prepare for her role as Dr. Murry who plays a smart scientist, alongside Cris Pine they had real-life scientists such as Stephon Alexander who wrote the book, the jazz of physics and others to help along with the linguistic parts of the characters. </span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">You will also notice if you are a fan of the A Wrinkle In Time book, that in the movie she is referred as Dr. Murry and not Mrs. Murry. The reason behind this was to show that as a single mom and a woman, she was still a scientist as well. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Meg Murry is a typical middle school student struggling with issues of self-worth who just wants to fit in. The daughter of two world-renowned physicists, she is intelligent and uniquely gifted, as is Meg’s younger brother, Charles Wallace, but she has yet to realize it for herself.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Complicating matters is the mysterious disappearance of Mr. Murry, which has left Meg devastated and her mother broken-hearted. Charles Wallace introduces Meg and her fellow classmate Calvin to three celestial beings (Mrs. Which, Mrs. Whatsit and Mrs. Who) who have journeyed to Earth to help search for their father, and together they embark on their formidable quest. Traveling via a wrinkling of time and space known as tessering, they are transported to worlds beyond their imagination where they must confront a powerful evil force.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">To make it back home to Earth, Meg must face the darkness within herself in order to harness the strength necessary to defeat the darkness rapidly enveloping the Universe.</span></div>

Populated by a large cast of diverse talents, including young star Storm Reid, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, and Mindy Kaling, it’s a film that pays homage to the source material while also placing it squarely inside a forward-moving cultural space.</div>

While the last (and only) other on-screen adaptation of the 1962 novel cast young protagonist Meg Murry as a white tween, it was essential to DuVernay that her film reflect a modern and diverse world. Her Murry clan includes Reid as daughter Meg, along with Chris Pine as patriarch Alex, <a data-tag="gugu-mbatha-raw" href="http://www.indiewire.com/t/gugu-mbatha-raw/" id="auto-tag_gugu-mbatha-raw" style="border: 0px; color: #005da4; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw</a> as mom Kate, and young Deric McCabe as baby brother Charles Wallace (in this incarnation, an adopted addition to the fam).</div>

For Mbatha-Raw, the decision to join the cast of the film was an easy one – “When I signed up, I think the only people that were 100% confirmed were Oprah and Storm,” she said with a laugh, a pairing that made it of a no-brainer – and the British actress joined a wide group of talents, both new and established, to the bring L’Engle’s kids classic to life.</div>

Like Mbatha-Raw, movie Meg comes from a biracial background. It’s not something she’s used to seeing. “It’s a really exciting moment and I think it’s a step in the right direction in terms of big studios accepting and celebrating and reflecting the world that we live in,” Mbatha-Raw said.</div>

“I think it’s so exciting to have Storm Reid at the center of this film,” she added. “When I was growing up there weren’t any films really, certainly big Disney films, with young girls that look like myself or Storm as the heroine.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“A Wrinkle in Time” also offered the actress a chance to continue her streak of working with women directors. The actress was first introduced to domestic audiences through her work on films like Amma Asante’s “Belle” and Gina Prince-Bythewood’s “Beyond the Lights” (the pair are reteaming on an upcoming adaptation of Roxanne Gay’s “An Untamed State”), and out of nearly 20 feature film appearances, Mbatha-Raw has worked with nine female film directors. That’s still a rarity in Hollywood.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“It’s not like I’ve deliberately gone out and ‘I’m only going to work with female directors,’ but certainly for me, early on with things like ‘Belle’ and ‘Beyond the Lights,’ it was about point of view,” the actress said. “I think those filmmakers were the only ones telling the story that was putting a character that looks like me at the center.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Still, she’s eager to move beyond the kind of labels that are still applied to female directors exclusively on the basis of their gender. That includes DuVernay, who made headlines just for signing on for “Wrinkle,” the first $100M-plus live-action film to be directed by a woman of color.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“I think, culturally, it’s incredibly significant,” she said. “I’m excited to get to the point when we’re just talking about the <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">director</em> Ava DuVernay, and we don’t necessarily keep qualifying ‘black female director.’ She’s just a ‘director,’ and that’s where we’re heading. To me, it’s just the director at this point.”</div>

The culture is changing, and the studio system doesn’t appear to be too far behind. “A Wrinkle in Time” arrives in theaters just weeks after Disney opened Ryan Coogler’s “Black Panther,” another massive tentpole directed by a person of color, and one that smashed just about every record it could.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“It’s a culmination of the evolution of our culture,” Mbatha-Raw said. “The studios are starting to pay more attention, with films like ‘Black Panther’ that actually <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">are</em> a huge hit at the box office. It’s undeniable that these films really do make money, and there is an audience to see diverse, big movies.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
To Mbatha-Raw, that the two films are hitting theaters so close to each other is important, but she’s more enthused by the fact that the films are quite different.</div>

“I think it’s definitely a cultural shift,” she said. “‘Wrinkle’ is a different genre, it has the fantasy and the spiritual element to it, and it’s not trying to be cool or tough. It’s definitely a family film about love.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It’s also a film about the kind of kids that are changing the world, the ones pushing those same cultural shifts that Mbatha-Raw can finally see making their way into the kind of films she would loved to see as a kid.</div>

“The youth have so much power in our world today,” Mbatha-Raw said. “I think it’s incredibly relevant with everything that’s been going on in the news. Young people have a voice. Young people have power. You have to stand up for what you believe in.”</div>

For most people, Friday, Feb. 16 was a relatively normal day, if a slightly busier one than usual. The night before, <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Black Panther</em> hit theaters to much fanfare, and many of us were gearing up for a sunnier-than-normal winter weekend. But for <a href="https://www.bustle.com/p/a-wrinkle-in-time-director-ava-duvernays-bold-af-demands-to-diversify-the-movie-will-give-you-chills-8278175" style="background: transparent; border-color: rgb(255, 214, 247); border-style: none none solid; border-width: 2px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4a4a4a; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s; word-wrap: break-word;"><em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Wrinkle in Time</em> actor Gugu Mbatha-Raw</a>, Feb. 16 had a special meaning. It was the day she decided that after years of standing back and watching everyone else speak up, she wouldn't — she couldn't — stay quiet any longer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: proxima-nova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px; margin: 32px auto; max-width: 700px; padding: 0px 13px;">
"With everything that’s going on in the world, I felt galvanized and inspired by Time's Up, and I was starting to question whether I was using my voice as efficiently as I could," she tells me, when we speak shortly after she joined Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook in one fell swoop. "I think as an actress, I’ve always believed maybe an old-fashioned idea that mystique was valuable and all of that stuff in terms of your career and acting," she continues. "But I just couldn’t deny that what was going on in the world, with the women’s movement especially... it’s better to contribute than shy away and stay silent."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: proxima-nova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px; margin: 32px auto; max-width: 700px; padding: 0px 13px;">
As one of Hollywood's most prolific yet enigmatic actors, <a href="https://www.bustle.com/articles/152177-gugu-mbatha-raw-could-change-the-way-race-is-depicted-in-hollywood" style="background: transparent; border-color: rgb(255, 214, 247); border-style: none none solid; border-width: 2px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4a4a4a; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s; word-wrap: break-word;">Mbatha-Raw has spent her career disappearing</a> — into roles, into costumes, seemingly into thin air the moment she's done promoting a project. Despite her near-constant presence on-screen (in the last five weeks alone, she's starred in three new movies), fans know little about who she actually is. What she likes, what she believes, what she wants to share with the world have all been a mystery. As her lack of social media showed, there's long been a thick, impenetrable veil between the actor's performances and her personal life.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: proxima-nova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px; margin: 32px auto; max-width: 700px; padding: 0px 13px;">
And that's been no accident. A clear introvert (despite giddily dancing to disco music that plays in the background of our chat) Mbatha-Raw says she stayed off Instagram and the like out of fear. "I think I was always afraid of social media because I was concerned that it was a narcissistic place and a toxic place," she explains. But recently, with everything happening in the world, she had an epiphany. "I think I just realized that we actually have the power to change that in ourselves," she says now. "You can sort of shy away from these things because they can be toxic, or you can try and put some positivity out there and try to shift that balance. Maybe that’s idealistic, but that’s what I decided."</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: proxima-nova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px; margin: 32px auto; max-width: 700px; padding: 0px 13px;">
As a biracial woman, Mbatha-Raw long ago learned that her presence on-screen matters to countless viewers. "It’s wonderful to be a part of something that feels historic," she says of <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">A Wrinkle in Time</em>, which stars a black teen girl and is directed by a black woman, but the same sentiment can be said about many of her projects. For years, the actor's name has been synonymous with movies and shows that start conversations, from <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Belle </em>(about the titular biracial woman in the 1700s who helped abolish British slavery), to <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Black Mirror</em>'s "San Junipero" episode (the Emmy-winning hour about queer women falling in love in an '80s beach town).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: proxima-nova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px; margin: 32px auto; max-width: 700px; padding: 0px 13px;">
And Mbatha-Raw is well aware of this. "The choices that I’ve made and the types of projects and messaging that they include," she says, all have to do with "positive steps to help our culture evolve." But up until recently, her reticence to share her life with the world felt at odds with her choices on-screen. Her roles made her the center of essential talks on race and gender, yet barring a few interviews, her own thoughts stayed mostly unknown.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: proxima-nova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px; margin: 32px auto; max-width: 700px; padding: 0px 13px;">
But now it's all changing, albeit slowly; in the weeks since Mbatha-Raw joined social media, the most personal thing she's posted has been a thank you to fans for welcoming her to Twitter. "I’m still a private person," she tells me, but, she adds, "it’s nice to have the channel open now." Although she tells me that she's still figuring out how she wants to use her new platforms ("It’s like learning a new language," she says with a self-deprecating laugh), there's a clear theme to her posts: speaking up and sharing news about issues that matter, like Time's Up and #MeToo.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: proxima-nova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px; margin: 32px auto; max-width: 700px; padding: 0px 13px;">
"I'm excited by the conversation and the unity that women are having in the industry and the world at large, and I think it’s important to keep that conversation going," Mbatha-Raw says. Already, she's been inspired by people like Reese Witherspoon, Oprah Winfrey, and Ava DuVernay, her <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Wrinkle in Time</em>co-stars and director, respectively, for how they've used their own social media. "It’s always focused towards the work and focused on bringing positivity out there, bringing, specifically, women together," the actor says.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: proxima-nova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px; margin: 32px auto; max-width: 700px; padding: 0px 13px;">
Using Instagram and Twitter for good isn't the only way Mbatha-Raw is echoing her peers. At 34, she is on the verge of superstardom, having spent the last few years winning raves for roles as varied as a D.C. lobbyist and an 1800s slave. Sure, she's been on the rise for awhile now, thanks to acclaimed films like <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Belle</em>and <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Beyond the Lights</em>, but it's only been since late 2016, with <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Black Mirror</em> and <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Beauty and the Beast</em> (she voiced Plumette, the feather duster) that most people took notice.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: proxima-nova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px; margin: 32px auto; max-width: 700px; padding: 0px 13px;">
And now there's <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">A Wrinkle in Time</em>, out March 9, a sure-to-be-blockbuster that is bound to shoot Mbatha-Raw even further into the mainstream consciousness. "The budget of the movie, the fact that Ava [DuVernay] is directing it as a woman of color... I think there’s going to be a whole new audience of people that are discovering the story fresh, and I’m really excited to be part of that," she says with a smile.</div>

<figure class="fQ" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 16px auto 32px; max-width: 1000px; position: relative; text-align: right;"><cite class="fL" style="box-sizing: inherit; display: inline-block; font-size: 0.8rem; font-style: normal; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 1.25; max-width: 75%; padding: 0.6rem 0px;">Ashley Batz/Bustle</cite></figure></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: proxima-nova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px; margin: 32px auto; max-width: 700px; padding: 0px 13px;">
In the film, Mbatha-Raw plays Dr. Kate Murry, the scientist mother of preteen Meg (Storm Reid) and wife of the long-lost physicist Alex (Chris Pine). It's a supporting role — the movie is focused on Meg's tumultuous journey to find her father — but for the actor, that just makes it all the better; she gets to help usher in "the next generation," like Reid, Levi Miller (Meg's friend), and Deric McCabe (Meg's little brother), who, Mbatha-Raw says proudly, are "kind of coming up and killing it." One gets the sense that if she had her way, this would be how every movie she was in worked; she'd get to have her moment, show off her skills, and then fade into the background, letting others take the lead and get all the attention.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: proxima-nova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px; margin: 32px auto; max-width: 700px; padding: 0px 13px;">
But alas, that's not how it goes. Mbatha-Raw may only now be getting comfortable with the spotlight, but her work is too good to ignore. It's not just the quality, though few would dispute that the actor is extremely talented. It's the choices she makes, not just with the messaging behind each performance but the people she chooses to work with on-set. As Mbatha-Raw herself puts it, there's a "strong female voice" in so much of what she does, both in her characters and behind-the-camera. From DuVernay to <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Irreplaceable You</em>'s Stephanie Laing to <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Belle</em>'s Amma Asante to several others, female directors have helmed a strikingly high percentage of the actor's projects.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: proxima-nova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px; margin: 32px auto; max-width: 700px; padding: 0px 13px;">
At first, this pattern wasn't on purpose. "Initially, it was just women that were giving me the best roles," Mbatha-Raw explains, referencing <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Belle</em> and Gina Prince-Bythewood's <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Beyond the Lights</em>. Later, though, the actor began to explicitly go out of her way to take on projects with female directors. "I feel like we’ve got to support each other and I think that’s how change really happens in the industry," she says. "You have to invest in your women and support each other."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: proxima-nova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px; margin: 32px auto; max-width: 700px; padding: 0px 13px;">
Mbatha-Raw says that she's thinking about eventually making the transition to directing herself, following in the lead of her mentors. "I think sometimes if you’re seeing a gap, or you’re not seeing the kind of work that you want... you do have to tell your own stories." She's not looking to make the switch anytime soon — "work and life is my film school," she says with a laugh — but she's inspired by the women, like DuVernay, who are making films telling stories not typically seen on-screen. Right now, "women are really feeling like they’re awakened and empowered to grab their moment," she explains. "That shift is really happening."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: proxima-nova, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px; margin: 32px auto; max-width: 700px; padding: 0px 13px;">
Women are using their voices to speak up — and Mbatha-Raw, now in ways both on screen and off, can proudly count herself among them.</div>

About Made with Code
Google started Made with Code because increasingly more aspects in our lives are powered by technology, yet women aren’t represented in the roles that make technology happen. If we can inspire teen girls to see that code can help them pursue their passions, whatever they may be, then hopefully they will begin to contribute their voices to the field of technology for the benefit of us all.

About Disney's "A Wrinkle in Time" (in theaters March 9)
From visionary director Ava DuVernay comes Disney’s “A Wrinkle in Time,” an epic adventure based on Madeleine L’Engle’s timeless classic which takes audiences across dimensions of time and space, examining the nature of darkness versus light and, ultimately, the triumph of love. Through one girl’s transformative journey led by three celestial guides, we discover that strength comes from embracing one’s individuality and that the best way to triumph over fear is to travel by one’s own light.
Directed by Emmy(R) winner and Oscar(R) and Golden Globe(R) nominee Ava DuVernay from a screenplay by Oscar winner Jennifer Lee based upon the beloved novel by Madeleine L’Engle, “A Wrinkle in Time” stars: two-time Academy Award(R) nominee Oprah Winfrey, Oscar and Emmy winner Reese Witherspoon, Emmy nominee Mindy Kaling, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Michael Peňa and introducing Storm Reid, with two-time Emmy winner Zach Galifianakis and Emmy nominee Chris Pine.
Produced by Jim Whitaker and Catherine Hand with Doug Merrifield serving as executive producer, the film also boasts an impressive creative team featuring some of the most talented artisans working today, including: Tobias Schliessler, ASC as director of photography, Naomi Shohan as production designer, Oscar(R)-nominee Spencer Averick as film editor, two-time Academy Award(R)-nominee Paco Delgado as costume designer and four time Emmy(R) nominee Ramin Djawadi as composer.

The daughter of an English mother and a South African father, Gugu, which is short for Gugulethu, a contraction of <em class="bb-em">igugu lethu</em>, which means "our pride" in Zulu, trained at London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. From her early acting roles on stage - she was Juliet to Andrew Garfield's Romeo in a 2005 adaptation of <em class="bb-em">Romeo and Juliet</em> at the Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre - to TV appearances in <em class="bb-em">Dr Who</em> and <em class="bb-em">Black Mirror</em>, and her current silver-screen moment in <em class="bb-em">A Wrinkle in Time</em>, she has been escaping archetypes and quietly shaping a diverse CV for years.</div>
<div class="bb-p" style="color: #333333; font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.5em;">
Her latest role as Dr Kate Murry in Ava DuVernay's blockbuster Disney adaptation marks the first time a black woman has helmed a $100 million film, and seems a fitting summary of Mbatha-Raw's own boundary breaking career trajectory so far.<br />

In Hollywood, black female actresses have been typecast since the beginning. There’s the sassy sidekick, the around-the-way girl, and of course, the mammie, usually found in a period drama set during slavery or the Civil Rights era. It’s a dynamic that’s only recently started to change, thanks to a renaissance in black television (Shondaland shows, <em>Insecure</em>, <em>Atlanta</em>) and social media movements like #OscarsSoWhite calling out a lack of diversity in film.</div>

But somehow, during a period when the entertainment industry failed to support both people of colour <em>and </em>women, Gugu Mbatha-Raw has quietly been breaking barriers for years. She’s a black woman who managed to escape the expected archetypes, a chameleon who has played everyone from the lead officer on a space mission to a bisexual beachtown party girl to an animated feather duster. A veteran of British television and theatre, Mbatha-Raw broke into Hollywood in 2013 as the shy, mixed-race 18th century hero of the movie <em>Belle</em>, and became known for her poised and powerful performances.Since then, she's starred in nearly a dozen major movies. But it’s 2018 that is finally the year of Gugu: Before the end of March, she will have starred in four films — including Disney’s big-budget, Ava Duvernay-directed adaptation of <em>A Wrinkle In Time</em>.</div>

“I <em>guess </em>you could call this my ‘moment,’ but that doesn’t seem fair, because I’ve worked really hard my <em>entire</em> career!” Mbatha-Raw says slowly. She has a habit of taking a few beats to thoughtfully consider her responses before answering. “As an actor, you have power over your performance, but no power over the distribution or timetable. So it just so happens this is all coming out at the same time. But I guess I should embrace the ride!”</div>

Because she is known for serious roles, I’m surprised to see the British actress radiating bright, almost mischievous energy on the set of her Refinery29 photoshoot at New York’s historic River Club. She’s smiley and chipper with a habit of fluffing up her natural curls; she apologises for squealing and “nerding out” when she learns that Audrey Hepburn and Frank Sinatra used to hang out here. Her mood lifts even higher when a crew member switches the soundtrack from uptempo disco to Beyoncé’s “Ego,” her laugh reverberating from the depths of her belly — surprisingly loud — as she dances on the couch. I have a feeling this kind of thing doesn’t happen around here that often.</div>

But Mbatha-Raw certainly has a lot to dance about right now. First, she is helping to save the planet in Netflix’s <em>Cloverfield Paradox</em>, the third instalment of the J.J. Abrams-produced sci-fi franchise. Then she portrays a dying woman struggling to say goodbye to her fiancé in the charming romantic dramedy <em>Irreplaceable You</em>, also available on Netflix. Next month, following her turn as Meg Murry’s mother in <em>A Wrinkle In Time</em>, she’ll play a woman hiding her superpowers in the thriller <em>Fast Color, </em>which premieres at SXSW in Austin.</div>

Of those four projects, three are directed or written by women — something that has been important to Mbatha-Raw throughout her career: <em>Belle </em>was directed by British screenwriter and director Amma Asante, and for her second major leading role, Mbatha-Raw played a Rihanna-like pop-star dealing with the downsides of fame in <em>Beyond The Lights</em>, directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood.</div>

“I make it a point to play strong women, and women have given me the most dynamic and interesting roles of my career thus far,” says Mbatha-Raw. “The fact that we have to consciously find opportunities for women <em>and</em> support the ones who are already out there is nothing new. What<em> is</em> new is that the awareness has changed. Now, we are all aware of where we <em>actually </em>are as an industry, versus where we <em>thought</em> we were.”</div>

“Change should never be just about actresses. This movement is about everybody,” she says. “If it takes people that have their faces in magazines or on movie screens to raise awareness, so be it. But hopefully this time also brings a voice to women who are a million miles away from Hollywood, and not just the privileged few.”</div>

The daughter of an English mother and a South African father (“Gugu” is short for "Gugulethu,” a version of the Xhosa word for “our pride”), Mbatha-Raw grew up in Oxford, England, and has been taking acting and dancing classes for as long as she can remember. After training as a teen at London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, she landed small parts in British television shows like <em>Doctor Who</em>. Her first big theatre break was as the Juliet to Andrew Garfield’s Romeo in 2005 at the Royal Exchange Theatre. Over the next decade, she made her way into American projects, first opposite Kiefer Sutherland in the brief Fox TV series <em>Touch</em>, then in Tom Hanks’ romantic comedy <em>Larry Crowne</em>, before Asante casted her in <em>Belle</em>.</div>

Mbatha-Raw says that landing in one of Disney’s most diverse projects yet feels like a culmination of all of her work. <em>A Wrinkle In Time </em>makes DuVernay the first black woman to helm a $100 million film. In the movie, Mbatha-Raw’s husband (Chris Pine) is white, therefore her daughter Meg (newcomer Storm Reid) is biracial; Meg’s three wise, guiding witches are portrayed by Mindy Kaling, Reese Witherspoon, and Oprah Winfrey — an example of what can happen when filmmakers successfully employ colourblind casting techniques.</div>

Mbatha-Raw’s perspective on the effect race has had on her career options, however, might differ slightly from an American actress.</div>

“There is certainly a complexity in being both black and white,” she says. “But I’m also from the U.K., where it’s not quite <em>as </em>big of a topic. So you might look at me and say ‘she’s black,’ or ‘she’s biracial,’ but people don’t realise there is a very different cultural legacy in the United States than the U.K. Here, there’s a specific sense of identity and community that comes with being African-<em>American</em> — that’s a culture all its own. So coming from the U.K., I had to explore my own identity in order to feel centred within all of the conversations around history and race politics that are very unique to America.”</div>

There is the argument that casting a black woman in a role that was originally written for a non-brown actress might be slightly easier with someone like Mbatha-Raw, who is light skin and appears ethnically ambiguous. There’s also the argument that when the entertainment industry focuses on simply slotting minorities into existing roles, it gets a pass on creating stories for and about people of colour. At the same time, Mbatha-Raw points out, the road to more diversity in entertainment means we need storylines where colour is simply not a factor. She believes that movies like <em>Irreplaceable You</em>, where the fact that her protagonist just so happens to be in an interracial relationship is never discussed, <a data-tracker-added="true" href="https://www.refinery29.com/2017/08/167215/interracial-dating-normalized-movies-tv-shows" style="border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(39, 255, 188); text-decoration-line: none;">are important for normalisation</a>. And no matter what her role is, one of her signatures is rocking her natural curls.</div>

“It’s empowering to play a woman and not have race be the focus,” she says. “But I will always bring who I am to the story and make sure my ethnicity is celebrated on screen. I’m not afraid to have those tough conversations with directors about how I represent myself. Hair, for instance, sounds like a superficial conversation. But images remain in our subconscious. So when it comes to representing on screen, I can use my hair to send the important message to girls everywhere that they can be who they are.”</div>

While Mbatha-Raw is happy to be a role model in public, after over two decades in the acting business, she has managed to keep her private life surprisingly...private. Google her, and you won’t find much beyond her IMDb and Wikipedia pages, and there’s no trace of the typical gossip stories about on-set feuds or relationship rumours. She’s not on Instagram or Twitter, and during our conversation, she doesn’t bite when I hint about any romantic partners; most of her interviews past and present, in fact, are strictly about her projects.</div>

“I like to focus on the work,” she says. “I think it can be hard to believe in somebody’s role if you know too much about them personally. I hope to have a long career and play many more different types of roles, so I’m trying to give myself the chance to be as believable as possible, rather than burden the viewer with my personal stuff. You go to the movies to go on a journey and believe the story.”</div>

What she will share is that she lives a “nomadic lifestyle” that has taken her everywhere from Toronto to New Zealand for filming. Los Angeles is her base, though she says she feels most at home with her parents back in Oxfordshire. Her greatest accomplishment of her past year, she adds, was the two months she was able to spend with them during a brief window of time off. That included a casual trip to London to be honoured by Queen Elizabeth II with an MBE, or Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, an award she gives out every year before her birthday. Mbatha-Raw’s distinction was for her service to the dramatic arts.</div>

“It’s an old school, <em>very </em>English honour from the royal family, but such a big deal!” she says. “We got to go as a family to Buckingham Palace, and it was very surreal.” When asked if she has any opinions on Meghan Markle, another biracial woman who’s recently captured the public’s attention as Prince Harry’s fiancée, she keeps her answer very British and diplomatic. “I can’t speak for all of the U.K., but I’m very excited for them both! Who doesn’t love a royal wedding?”</div>

Two months off was more than enough for Mbatha-Raw. She’s already returned to filming, this time in New York for <em>Motherless Brooklyn</em>, a ’50s detective mystery directed by Ed Norton, a project that, somehow, manages to be very different from anything she’s previously done. And the actress has no plans of slowing down any time soon. In fact, her next steps might be outside the acting realm — inspired by DuVernay.</div>

“On <em>Wrinkle</em>, I always remember Ava saying ‘It’s not about knocking on doors; you have to build your own house,’” she says. “In this industry, we all feel like you need somebody to <em>give </em>you a job, or write <em>you</em> a script, or <em>cast</em> you in something. But why not direct your own films, or write your own scripts, or start your own company? I want to tell stories, and I shouldn’t have to wait for someone else to do it. So I believe it might be time for me to build my own house.”</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Netflix changed the game and stunned everyone with its surprise release of the sci-fi horror adventure flick <a href="https://blackgirlnerds.com/cloverfield-paradox-ava-hamiltons-no-good-day/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #f2417f; text-decoration-line: none;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Cloverfield Paradox</em></a>—one of a string of films under the Cloverfield franchise. The film stars <span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw, David Oyelowo, Zhang Ziyi, Chris O’Dowd, </span>Daniel Brühl, Elizabeth Debicki and is directed by Julius Onah. Produced by JJ Abrams, the film is set in the near future, among a group of international astronauts on a space station. They are working to solve a massive energy crisis on Earth, and the experimental technology aboard the station has an unexpected result, leaving the team isolated and fighting for their survival.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Gugu chatted briefly with BGN about the film, how she prepped for the role of Ava Hamilton, and she discussed candidly her thoughts on the #MeToo and the #TimesUp movement happening in Hollywood. She also shared what she geeks out over the most.</div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie: </strong>First of all, thank you so much for taking the time out of your super busy schedule because I know that you’re killing it girl. You are killing it.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> Awww. That’s okay. That’s okay. It’s nice to be able to talk to you. Thank you.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> Absolutely. So yeah. I’m just going to go ahead and start. Thank you for talking to Black Girl Nerds. We’re huge fans of yours. We really wanted to see you in <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Star Wars</em>, by the way, just saying that.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">So <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Cloverfield Paradox</em>. I watched the film right after the Superbowl and I kind of regret it and I’ll tell you why.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> Right.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> The movie had some really scary moments for me and it was difficult to go to bed that night.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> Oh no. Did you have nightmares?</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> I did. I did. I was like, “This movie’s terrifying.” But I wanted to ask for you going through these scenes, was it just as terrifying for you dealing with these experiences as Ava as it was for us watching her?</span></div>

<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> Well for me, what really grounded the story for me was knowing Ava Hamilton’s backstory and what she is wrestling with from her past. And that was really, really helpful because I think you know having her history with her family on earth, understanding what she was escaping emotionally speaking. When all these kinds of really surreal events start happening, it was interesting. I talked about Julius, the director, and the script definitely evolved a lot as we were in the process of making the film.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">But there was definitely a sense that this is also a woman not just hanging on by a thread emotionally, she is also still grief-stricken. But also then when these bizarre things start occurring, she’s also slightly questioning her own sanity. You know especially when it comes to the next level in terms of dimensions and whether she’s really losing it herself. So that was kind of an interesting thing to play with.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">So yeah, beyond it being sort of…I mean those things are actually — although time-consuming — they’re actually quite fun to shoot. They’re not scary to shoot as such. But I think they’re much more scary to watch than they are to shoot. But for me, the challenge was always grounding the response to everything in what she’s personally going through underneath the surface.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> Well that’s comforting knowing that what was terrifying for us was entertaining for you. At least you weren’t scared going through those scenes.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> Exactly.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> But it was really good. I really enjoyed the film. And I was curious to know how you prepped for this movie. Because a lot of the scenes look like they were very physically demanding. So what was the biggest challenge about taking on this role?</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> There were a lot of challenges. I think for me, this is a genre I haven’t really done before, you know, the space movie genre. And for me, it was quite a big challenge. Most of the movie was filmed on a sound stage at Paramount Studios in L.A. was quite a challenge in itself, because I think when you are mostly in a very sterile sound stage environment. I mean I guess it’s not unlike a space station in a weird way but it’s quite an intense way to shoot I think. You know, you’re not necessarily out and about on the street shooting in the real world as it were. And I think sometimes that can be challenging. You know, especially when you’ve got things like green screen and a lot of special effects. You’re having to use your imagination a lot. You’re responding to things that on the day maybe aren’t necessarily there, or haven’t been decided upon yet. And that can definitely be an acting challenge because you don’t necessarily know 100% what is going to be put into the movie in the post-production process. So that’s a challenge.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">We also had some wire work, some physical work wearing a space suit. I mean it was actually challenging for me because of our amazing costume designer Colleen Atwood who’s award-winning and incredible. But these space suits, they’re not necessarily designed for comfort. They looked great. Being several hours with the helmets on and things like that, I would get claustrophobic. So I’d be like, “Can we just wait until the camera is actually rolling before I put my helmet on?” Because then as soon they yell, “Cut,” I’m pulling the helmet off.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> Take it off! Take it off!</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> It wasn’t the most comfortable costume I have to say. But you know, it all added to the drama and as I say, what we were going through.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> Well it looked really good. So even though it wasn’t comfortable, it looked great on screen.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">You know what I really loved about this movie, there was this beautiful dichotomy between this being a sci-fi horror film and all of these terrifying elements to being a family drama which is centered around your character Ava. How important is it to work on a film where you’re given so many options in the screenplay?</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> So many options? You mean in terms of the character’s backstory?</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> Exactly.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> Yeah I mean for me, that’s what drew me to the original script, you know, God Particle, which was very much centered around this woman Ava Hamilton. I really responded to the fact that she was a three-dimensional woman. She’s a mother. She has this tragic past that she was dealing with. She was still getting on with her life. And it didn’t mean that she…I think sometimes often in sci-fi movies, you see these female astronauts that are very cold and are basically trying to actually like men in that world to be able to survive. And I think that the interesting thing about Hamilton is she is a woman, she’s vulnerable. She has a lot going on that she’s dealing with. And I think I just love the fact that you see her struggle emotionally but still continue and persevere. And that to me is always an interesting conflict when a character is wrestling with things internally, that that gives you a lot of juicy stuff to play with emotionally.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> Yeah. It was great to see how that unfolded on the screen.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Now, this is a bit of a heavy question. A lot of folks in the entertainment industry is talking about the #MeToo movement. And when it comes to changing who has the power to create and tell stories to challenge sexual violence. You know, there’s this broad movement for change currently happening in the entertainment industry. When designed and led by women of color, what looks different about this movement for change?</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> About #MeToo? Or #TimesUp? Or …</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> Yeah about the whole movement surrounding the discussion on sexual violence and harassment. So yeah, #MeToo, #TimesUp.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> Right well I think what’s exciting is that it’s a movement change for women, meaning all women. And then not just actresses, not just…say women of all ethnicities. And I think that that’s really exciting because I think it’s inclusive and it empowers everyone, whatever industry you’re in. I think even though actors are perhaps more visible, I think what happens is this empowering message trickles into every industry from farm workers to domestic workers to women across the globe, I hope, will feel inspired to not accept this kind of treatment anymore.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">And also, I think it’s really interesting that there is a kind of sense of community really being fostered with women in the industry that I haven’t really seen before. From the #TimesUp email chain to meetings, the groups that we’re all chitchatted together, you know there’s a conversation happening. And that, I think, is something that so often, speaking for myself and as an actor, you may be the only woman, you may be two women on the set in terms of an acting department and actually to be able to be united to be with other actors. Like not just two, three but a whole community of women who are having and sharing these experiences and conversations. I think it’s just so empowering. And I think as I say, everyone is feeling included, which is a step in the right direction.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> Right exactly, the way it should be, you know?</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> Mm-hmm (affirmative).</span></div>

<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> And something a little more light-hearted. You know we here at Black Girl Nerds, we talk about nerdy and geeky things. So what are some nerdy fandoms that you’re into? Whether it’s gaming, comics, anime, sci-fi, what’s your geeky secret?</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> My geeky secret? Oh, my God. I don’t know. I mean I’m not really into any of those things that you just used as an example. I love to research in terms of my roles and everything. I’m such a nerd when it comes to the research.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">I’m just about to start a <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385887/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #f2417f; text-decoration-line: none;">movie set in the 50s</a> and for me being able to immerse myself in that era and the music, in the novels at the time, the imagery, reading around each role. If I get a chance to visit somewhere, like for example, with a <a href="https://blackgirlnerds.com/wrinkle-time-pending-article-use-next-exclusive/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #f2417f; text-decoration-line: none;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Wrinkle in Time</em></a>, I got to visit JPL, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena and talk to literally rocket scientists and people who are doing astrophysics. And for me, that’s my not so secret nerdy passion—which is being able to really meet people who do the job that your character does. I mean for the<em style="box-sizing: border-box;"> Cloverfield Paradox</em>, I got to meet a couple of astronauts, talked one on the phone, one of the first female astronauts who was the consultant on the movie. That to me is really fascinating when you get the chance to delve into another world. So yeah, the research is the nerdy stuff for me.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> Nice. Love that. I can spend hours and hours just researching stuff on some of the most random things. I love researching bacteria and viruses. I know that sounds really weird.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> Oh my God. You’re a complete germaphobe. You’re like, “Oh no. She reaches for the hand sanitizer.”</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">I mean for me…and also I love history at school. So again, anything that is either a period of time or be it something set in the 80s or the 50s or the 1800s. That’s a chance for me to get back into my history student zone. And I just find it so interesting because there’s so much we can learn from the past. And I think essentially human beings and human nature don’t change that much. But I think it’s really fascinating how we express ourselves and how culture evolves. I’m really intrigued by that.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> Amazing. One last question. I know you’re super busy.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> Oh that’s okay.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> You’ve got <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Wrinkle in Time</em>. You’ve got <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Irreplaceable You</em>. You’ve got <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Fast Color</em>. And you’re about to be filming <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Motherless Brooklyn</em>. Aside from those projects-</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> Yeah. You’ve got them all on the list.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> Anything else that’s next for you?</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> I mean literally I am about to start filming <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Motherless Brooklyn</em> next week. So that’s definitely the next thing that’s taking my focus. I’m in 1957, I’m listening to a lot of jazz because my character was born in a Harlem jazz club. So we’re around Brooklyn and Harlem and a lot of New York filming that. So that’s really exciting.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">In terms of after that, I don’t know, maybe a holiday.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> Maybe some sleep?</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw: </strong>Yeah maybe some sleep would be really nice.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> Well awesome. It was fantastic talking to you. Are you going to be at South By Southwest?</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> Yes. I just got my flight. I’m so excited. I’ve never been to Texas.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> Oh my God.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> So I think my flight’s through Dallas-Fort Worth airport maybe for an hour or something. But yeah, I’m very excited to go to Austin. I hear it’s really fun.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> Yes.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> And I’m really, really excited for <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Fast Color</em> to have its world premiere there. So I’m going to see the movie actually for the first time next week. So yeah, it was an amazing experience shooting that film with Julia Hart in Albuquerque. I can’t wait to see it. And as I say, my first time at South By.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> Well it’s all about the tacos at South By and the queso. </span><span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">And our team will be there as well. So I hope we get to meet you in person and talk to you about <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Fast Color</em> because I read the story behind it.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> Oh that would be so fun.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> Yeah the story is right up our alley. Supernatural, black women with abilities, like hello.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gugu Mbatha-Raw:</strong> Yeah exactly.</span> And you know it’s starring <a href="https://blackgirlnerds.com/bgn-99-rosewood-compersion-rising-star/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #f2417f; text-decoration-line: none;">Saniyya Sidney</a> and Lorraine Toussaint as well. As I say, I’m sure you’d love to talk to both of them too. They’re amazing.</div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jamie:</strong> Thank you Gugu. It was great talking to you.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
