Storm Reid

“I'm gonna take this world by storm. Pun unintended.”

“Nothing's impossible, because in the word 'impossible,' it says, 'I'm possible.' Always know that no matter what, you can always do it, and don't let anybody tell you differently.”

“I live by faith and not sight.”

“I just try to take a positive approach with my social media, with my Instagram. I just want people who go to my page to kinda feel inspired.”

“Representing young black girls and giving them hope and the light and letting them know that they can do anything is important to me as a little black girl, too.”

“I feel like I'm a really artsy person. I love to tie-dye shirts and bake and just do nerdy and fun stuff.”

“I just feel like, with growing up and having peer pressure and what society wants you to be and what you think you should do, I feel like it's really important to surround yourself around good, understanding, amazing people that actually love you for you.”

“My mom - she doesn't care if I stop acting tomorrow; she just wants the best for me.”

“I would love to keep playing roles where I get to inspire young women, and I get to uplift them and tell their stories and tell important stories that haven't been told.”

“If you're not represented, then sometimes you might not feel hopeful and don't feel like you can do something that other people are doing when you're just as worthy as they are.”

“You should always be dedicated and know that, if you strive to do something, you can achieve it.”

“My life is centered around God and faith.”

“I had a fear of being too tall because my dad is very tall, and both my sisters are very tall. And they're drop-dead gorgeous, but I just didn't know if I, as Storm, wanted to be 6 feet tall, 'cause I feel like that's pretty tall.”

“I'm grateful for my family and my peers.”

“I think my family does a good job of letting me be a regular teenager, which we all need.”

“I was shocked that I even got the opportunity to audition for 'A Wrinkle in Time.' Meg Murry is a Caucasian girl in the book.”

“To be able to be a good actress and portray other people's stories, you have to be true to yourself.”

“I feel like there's this great balance between me being an actress and traveling around and doing all this great stuff but, also, me being the regular teenager, like going to Disneyland with friends and just hanging out.”

“It's just surreal because I get to empower other little African-American girls around the world and say that you can be a superhero, and you rock, and you can conquer the world, and you are beautiful just the way you are, and your flaws are nothing, and you're awesome.”

“I didn't look at the previous 'A Wrinkle in Time' movie. I wrote ideas down from the book, but I didn't really want to copy that Meg. We're the same, but we're different at the same time. I wanted to make myself Meg. I didn't want to use somebody else or use a reference.”
