00:00Hi, Meecy.
00:01Hi.
00:02How are you?
00:02I'm doing great.
00:03How y'all doing?
00:04Good.
00:05I love your hair.
00:07We are big fans of Claws at Refinery29.
00:09We actually did a screening at the office a couple months before the show started.
00:13I'm checking your claws out.
00:15We did get a little match.
00:17We got them matching, too.
00:19There we go.
00:19So you play a strong female lead in the show.
00:22Yes.
00:22What would you say is the biggest lesson that you learned from this character?
00:26I guess the biggest lesson I've learned from Desna is to be unapologetic.
00:31She's comfortable in her skin.
00:34I love that I'm a woman on television who's not a size two.
00:37I eat on TV for real.
00:40So I love playing her.
00:46She's just a full woman, very full.
00:49She's a lover.
00:50She's a sister.
00:51You know, I just, I have such a good time with her words in my mouth.
00:56Ooh, I like the way you put that.
00:58Yes.
00:59So, Nisi, what message do you have for women who don't see themselves represented in media?
01:04Well, you know, I would say don't give up because I feel like there are more stories coming.
01:10You know, the world is so much bigger than black and white women, Muslim women, Asian women, transgender women, you
01:15know, all different sizes, all different experiences.
01:18And I just think that, you know, it's a good time for women to keep telling our stories.
01:24And I think that eventually it'll catch up and we'll all see ourselves out there.
01:30Absolutely.
01:31Speaking of women's stories, Claws, you know, is one of the many shows that were about women that came out
01:35this year.
01:36What were some of your other favorites?
01:38Oh, my favorite stuff this year?
01:41Well, of course, what is the one?
01:45Big Little Lies?
01:46I was going to say it, but I didn't want to put words in your mouth.
01:48No, no, no, no.
01:49Love.
01:50Yes.
01:51Love.
01:51It's so good.
01:52It's so good, yeah.
01:54Yes.
01:55Well, Nisi, Claws is so good.
01:56Thank you so much for stopping by tonight.
01:58And enjoy it.
01:59Have fun.
01:59Yes, have fun.
02:01Enjoy.
