Nicole Beharie discusses making her ‘Solos’ episode ‘tonally so different’ [EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW]

“It’s about control,” reveals Nicole Beharie about her episode of the science fiction anthology “Solos” by Amazon. “I really related to that,” explains the actress in her in her exclusive interview with Gold Derby (watch the video above). Beharie’s single episode is titled “Nera” after her character and sees her giving birth at home during a nighttime blizzard. Beharie continues about its themes, “The way that you intend something and then the way that it actually comes out or the way that people take it in — that’s her journey. The thing that she’s been waiting for, it comes out and she’s like, ‘This is not what I had in mind’ and then how do you deal with that?”

Nicole Beharie Swears By This Ingredient To Nourish Her Curls — And She Grows It Herself

It’s not often that that the intersection of protective styling and relaxed hair is discussed, but for actress Nicole Beharie, star of Sleepy Hollow, Miss Juneteenth, and Black Mirror, it’s exactly what defined her childhood. “I remember back in the day when I wore braids and twists and people would make comments about it being nappy,” Beharie tells TZR. “My mother's Jamaican and people used to think that it was like an immigrant thing.” And while Beharie’s mother instilled in her the beauty and versatility of protective styling, she didn’t always embrace those options with her own hair. “My hair was actually relaxed growing up because my mom found my hair to be more manageable with it,” she says. “But even though I had a relaxer, I never wore it straight.”

Nicole Beharie embraces imperfection in life and in her ‘Miss Juneteenth’ character

When Nicole Beharie reflects on “Miss Juneteenth,” she gets philosophical. “There’s this idea, this Japanese philosophy: wabi-sabi. It’s sort of reminding yourself what’s essential, simple and imperfect, and in flux. If you have a ceramic or something and there’s a crack in it, you would paint, like, gold wherever the cracks are to show that there’s beauty in that; the sort of beautiful and broken,” the actress says by video call. “I feel like I walked away with that awareness ... we’re all wonky as hell, chipped and cracked, and maybe if we paint gold in those places and stop trying to hide them and not look at our past, maybe we can move forward.

‘Miss Juneteenth’ Star Nicole Beharie Says Film Shines Spotlight on People Not Usually Seen

In writer-director Channing Godfrey Peoples’ debut feature, Miss Juneteenth, Nicole Beharie stars as Turquoise Jones, a single mom to teenager Kai (Alexis Chikaeze) living in a suburb of Fort Worth, Texas. Balancing two jobs, Turquoise does her best to set high standards for her daughter, hoping Kai will stray from her own path and go off to college and seek a career. What will set Kai on that path (or so Turquoise believes) is the local Miss Juneteenth pageant, an event that honors the historic day — June 19, 1865 — when enslaved people in Texas finally learned about the Emancipation Proclamation two years after the fact. The pageant also earns the winner a college scholarship, a prize that Turquoise herself won as a teen when she was crowned Miss Juneteenth before her unexpected pregnancy derailed the future she envisioned for herself.
