I’ve been lucky enough to play women who have marked history with their brilliance, and at the same time have somehow changed the way we see the world. Like many of the Black women in history, they sort of get forgotten. Harriet Tubman was one of the women that I was astounded by, after realizing

Counting fans in Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton, and a few hundred thousand people on Instagram, Missoma’s appeal is hard to deny. The British jewelry brand is loved for making trend-forward, affordable pieces—and its empire’s reach is steadily growing.
