X Mayo chats with VF about her star-making work in ‘The Blackening’, her fear of horror movies, and swimming as Shanika.
Yes, and it's one trope of a Black person even then. Although we have seven archetypes of Black people], we still didn't represent all of us. There’s too many motherfuckers, right? There's too many nuances.
I said this before, and I'll say it again: the writing would not be as strong had it not been written by a Black queer man and a Black woman. We are the leaders of the pack of every fucking march—it don't have nothing to do with us. Child, it could be eczema. We're like, "Guys, we got to get new cream. Everybody's peeling. What is happening?” [You have a pretty harrowing night swimming scene in the film.
Baby, I was on my cycle at 4:00 AM in the lake. And you know why I did it? Because I feel sometimes when you see certain stunts, and you know that's not the person, that takes you out of it. And I know how to swim. I just was like, ‘No, we're going to dispel that fucking myth. Fuck you. I'm going to fucking swim.’ They had a whole thing of fresh, alkaline water in a separate trailer so that I could shower right after. It was a man-made lake near Dodger Stadium. It was green.
But I wanted to. I was like, this is for the Black girls who swim. And also to dispel the myth. Like, fuck that: No, we are in the water. We're swimming. Dewayne asked me today, he was like, "Did Shanika know how to swim?" I said, “No, it's instinctual.” She’s like, “Bitch, we gotta get out.”No. Don't play with demons. No, I don't like it. And it really fucks with my brain. And you would think because of that I don't fuck with true crime, but I'm obsessed.
