What can you tell us about your character in "Harlem"?
I play Dr. Camille Parks. ... She's a professor of anthropology at Columbia and she teaches about sex and love, but she can't quite seem to get her own sex and love life together. She is quirky and awkward and someone who hopes and is always optimistic. Someone who can be a boss in one breath, and then in the next breath, she's vulnerable and she's insecure, but it doesn't stop her from being a boss. And she's all these things in a pot that I think are messy and complicated and really wonderful because we are all messy and complicated and we're all kind of having similar experiences to some degree. Trying to walk this thing of life out and figure it out.
She sounds delightful, and I'm very excited to see the full season. Speaking of her character and her journey, what can you tease about her character arc in the season?
Well, I'm not supposed to tease much, but what I will say is I think that sometimes in life, all the plans that you have and all the things that you anticipated, to some degree, get turned on their head and you have to reset. You have to readjust, and you have to figure it out. And I think Camille experiences a lot of that throughout the season in her work, in her personal life, in her friendships. And I think that in terms of character arc, she's learning and she's growing and she's figuring it out, and she's doing it all without completely spiraling and also like the best attitude that she can possibly have, and believing all things are possible. So she definitely goes on a journey and has to readjust a lot of what she thought. And yeah, that's pretty much it.
Is there anything we can look forward to in terms of love in her arc?
Well, she might find love with someone or she might find love with someone else. Or there might be a situation.
