“Continuing to push narratives that are progressive and that are coming from a place of love and acceptance is so important.”
“I think that social media influence is such a powerful presence in our society to the point where it's a little bit scary sometimes.”
“I realized being on the set that I love doing stunts and I love fighting and I love action, so it was really fun to shoot those scenes.”
“I can see firsthand being young and being from this generation as well that Instagram influences our minds in such a powerful way that sometimes we're not even aware of it.”
“Working with Olivia Scott Welch was such a dream.”
“One thing I can say about pursuing a career in the arts is, it is an adventure - a beautiful, intimidating, and fulfilling adventure.”
“I feel like the scripts were so wonderfully written in the sense that my character in '1666' and my character in '1994' mirrored each other in a really nice way. They're both so strong, empowered, determined, and passionate.”
“Moe's the first character that I played that actually allowed me to embrace all parts of myself, including my physical appearance, the things that make me angry, the things that I would consider quirks or little things that make me funny. I still carry those things that I learned from Trinkets to this day.”
“Trinkets' is based on a book, so sometimes to take one book and spread the story out so much doesn't really do the story justice. Everyone just decided that two seasons would be the perfect amount of time.”
“Audiences go to the movies to feel - and I feel like when people watch movies, their hearts are opened. I think that's the best way to influence change in the right direction.”
“One of the biggest lessons I have learned along my journey thus far is to embrace myself.”
“One of my favorite albums that I've been listening to lately is 'Midnight Machines' by Lights.”
“I can be the same Kiana that I am at home, on set, in interviews, everywhere that I go. And I think that it's such a relief when you accept that and acknowledge that about yourself.”
“There's a certain feeling I get when I listen to something that vibrates in my soul.”
“I just always want to make sure everyone's good. I look out for my younger sister, my older brother, my mom, and my dad - I feel like I'm really hands-on when it comes to taking care of them, and making sure that they're good.”
“We were fortunate that most of the '1666' stuff we did shoot all together. We were filming out in Hampton, Georgia. It was so amazing. They built a village for us to shoot in. It made our job as actors so much easier.”
“I really wanted to be part of 'Trinkets' and play Moe because there's something very mysterious about her.”
“I would love to continue to tell stories that are constructive to our society; I would love to continue to portray characters that are people who have been oppressed in our world.”
“It's always a great feeling when I have no regrets regarding an audition that I've done and I feel that way about my audition for Moe in 'Trinkets.'”
“I really do not like confrontation. I will kind of do anything to avoid it.”
