The 42-year-old star — who stole the spotlight at her Divorce In The Black premiere — revealed that she endured racial slurs while growing up in a predominantly white neighborhood.
'I experienced a lot of racism, being called the N-word more times than you could imagine,' the actress recalled to People on Saturday. 'In the neighborhood I grew up in, until I was about maybe 10 or 11, there was one other Black family, and then it was maybe the end of junior high where more people of color started coming into the neighborhood,' she added. Acting then became her 'safe space' during childhood, as her mom encouraged her to pursue it as a hobby.
