Meet Zuri Adele, the 'Good Trouble' character inspired by Patrisse Cullors. - nbcblk
Malika’s activism affords her community as evinced by her close relationship with Jamal’s mother, Sandra , but it also has put her in a vulnerable position with law enforcement. “Good Trouble” unfolds with Malika, who was inspired by Black Lives Matters co-founder Patrisse Cullors, navigating the conflicting expectations placed on her as a black woman.
Although “Good Trouble” strikes a balance between moments of levity and exploring the gravity of real-world issues, Adele said that playing Malika can take an emotional toll and that it has taught her the importance of incorporating self-care in her life off set. For Adele, self-care takes many forms. She said she attends therapy, as well as singing and dancing lessons. She has also tried acupuncture and exercise classes. Her biggest priorities include giving herself permission to try new things and to feel comfortable with the fact that she may not be “perfect” at them, as well as spending time with friends and family. All this enables her to “take a breath” so she can “show up and tell these stories.
While Adele is not necessarily on the front lines protesting, she is approaching activism in a different way by trying to make theater and film more accessible for black artists. Adele received her bachelor’s degree from Spelman College in 2012 and an MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2015.
