00:00I think Anika Noni-Rose is arriving.
00:02Hi, Anika is coming on.
00:04You look amazing first off.
00:06So now we're here with Refinery29.
00:08We're all about owning your power and claiming your space.
00:11So tell me a little bit, what is your personal mantra for owning your power?
00:15Oh my goodness, being true to yourself.
00:18I think being true to yourself is the most important thing you can do.
00:21People will come up to you and tell you you suck.
00:24People will come up to you and tell you you're great.
00:26And they all have different agendas for saying whatever they're saying.
00:28So you must be true to the core that is who you are.
00:31And you will know when you're walking the line that works for you.
00:35I love that.
00:35And I'm a big fan of power.
00:37And your character in power, I feel like, is like half evil but maybe have a little good inside.
00:41What's the biggest misconception about your character?
00:45I think people pretty much got her right.
00:49Drew Fox is ruthless.
00:50You know, she is not here for games.
00:53And so I don't think that anybody has said something about her so far that has not been correct.
01:00It's so true.
01:01So the world is a crazy place right now.
01:03How and what do you do to find time for self-care?
01:07I do not turn on the television a lot.
01:11I make sure that I connect with nature, with the land.
01:16I take walks.
01:18You know, it's important to me when I'm on social media to filter what I'm paying attention to.
01:24There are times when I really want the news in there and there are times when my heart can't take
01:28it.
01:28So, you know, I filter myself or I take a social media break because it's like we don't really get
01:35a break.
01:36It's like an onslaught, a deluge of information.
01:39And much of it is very, very negative.
01:41So it's important for us to, like, turn those things off sometimes.
01:45Amazing.
01:46Well, Anika, thank you so much for stopping by to talk to us.
01:48Have so much fun tonight.
01:49Go enjoy yourself for all of us.
01:51And we love your dress.
