Jasmin Savoy Brown Instagram – So this is one of the coolest things ever??? THANK YOU @thewrap I am proud to be a black queer actress and I am excited to be paid my worth 😍 Quote & credits below! “If it feels like Jasmin Savoy Brown is everywhere lately, it’s because she is. Not only does she co-lead one of TV’s buzziest series, Showtime’s Yellowjackets, she also returned to play the wisecracking slasher superfan in one of the biggest horror franchises ever in Scream VI. Still, success didn’t come without her fighting for what she deserves. POWER OF PLAYING “I’m a queer person, so I know what it’s like to identify with a character and a show and how rare it’s been historically and how good it feels. So to get to be on the other side of that and to be giving my community a gift-albeit a dark and twisted gift-is really fun and I don’t take it for granted.” LEARNING TO SELF-ADVOCATE “Something that’s becoming ever more important to me is just being paid well. It’s no secret that Black women-women in gen-eral, Black people in general-are not paid very well, and I want that to change. So I’m really curious to see what the paycheck is now before I sign up for a project, because I think it’s time I start getting what I’m worth. Now that I have the platform that I have and I believe I’m proving myself as an actor, I just don’t have time for it anymore. I’m not interested in making a fifth of what a white man is making. STAY MARCHING “This year, I’m marching for queer joy. Our joy is being threatened right now, especially the joy of our trans youth. It’s just, I don’t even have a word for how upsetting all of these attacks are. And our joy is worth everything.” BL @thewrap @graphicsmetropolis 📷 @zimmermann lewk @marciahamilton hair @cherishbrookehill makeup @itsamandalim styled
