Jodie Turner-Smith (MissJodie): '...As a Black woman, everything I do is political. Who I choose to marry, who I choose to sleep with, who I choose to have a baby with, who I choose to be around, what I say, everything is political.'
That's really beautiful and so true for the pacing and tone of the rest of the film. If your IRL family was in that dance competition, how far do you think you would make it?I mean, if my family was in that dance competition, first of all, the outfits would've been a little bit cuter. But we wouldn't have made it far, because I have a toddler and learning choreography for a toddler is challenging. I have a toddler and a white husband, so...
JTS: At the time of filming, it didn't. We filmed this in 2019. This was before baby. This was before marriage. And obviously my husband and I were dating each other at the time, but we hadn't necessarily gone down this path. It was interestingfor the first time as a mother, and as a wife. Everyone is having this experience where they desperately want to understand what the meaning of being a human being is, and what it means to be connected with someone.
Obviously my husband and I, we do share certain things about ourselves, but I don't share as much as I used to just because I feel like the more people know who I am, the more it's necessary for me to protect things that mean a lot to me. A lot of people don't understand my relationship, and they don't understand the decisions that I make. Because I'm in the public, they feel like they're entitled to express their confusion with anger, vitriol, whatever.
