but the original character is a darksin Nigerian who isn’t mixed, u even gave evidence saying that she is, so why would u read the book and think amari is suited for u? ur not even mono-racial. i don’t blame u entirely as its the producers fault for choosing u. ur talented but this adaptation doesn’t represent a darkskin monoracial Nigerian. we have a right to express our opinions

amandla no the thing you are forgetting is you are a light skin biracial of danish and american blood playing a nigerian brown skin who can’t sit in the sun without being punished that’s the issue and

As someone who actually read the book I interpreted Amari as being lighter skinned so I’m lost at the critiques

It was just weird seeing you casted as this character because Amari is discriminated by her own mother for her dark skin. I get why people are mad cuz the author was all about dark really skin girl etc but yet casted a light skin girl (nothing against you I’m sure you’ll do great !)

😭what if dark skin ppl auditioned but werent closen coz ..perhaps Amandla was the most suitable actor in terms of acting ability. Sometimes the "light skin" is the better actor

esp :
You read it? Amari isn’t described as biracial/light nor is she thin. This is important because her mother asks her to bleach and her size matters for the same reason. You’re ignoring that aspect.

God definitely wants you here! you've experienced hate & discrimination because of your skin tone just as Amari has & regardless of any opinions,both your experiences are valid and your voice matters.
