Few artists command the screen the way
@theDanielleBrooks does—she doesn’t just act, she ignites the screen.
She credits her finely tuned craft to the influence of cinematic greats like Lorraine Toussaint, Uzo Aduba, and Cynthia Erivo—and to her deep, guiding faith. “I’m taking the proper steps and being a student again when learning and reflecting on what stories I really want to tell,” Brooks says to AMAZING’s managing editor,
@ashleypaintsil . “That’s where I’m at, and it’s cool. I like it. I’m enjoying being a student, learning, and hopefully being able to share that side of me sooner rather than later. When you’re learning, you can’t rush the process.”
We’re honored to feature Brooks on the ISSUE Nº21 cover—a force of truth, power, and unstoppable presence as Leota Adebayo in Peacemaker, among all of the incredible roles she has played.
