It’s been a year, and Nathalie Emmanuel has spoken up about the same. In a conversation with Vogue UK, she said, “At the end of the day, if there’s ever a show on the level of Game of Thrones again, representation has to be part of the conversation from the beginning.”
She also added, “That way, there’s no single person who has to represent every other person of colour. It’s a conversation I used to have a lot with Jacob [Anderson], who played Grey Worm, the only other major non-white character in the series.”
