The Ultimatum: Queer Love, a spin-off to their original series, only this time with a focus on queer and non-binary couples.Like any series, we were introduced to a string of interesting characters, but none of them captured the attention and hearts of viewers quite like Mal Wright.
From her natural charm that put everyone at ease to her level of emotional intelligence that made every conversation seem elevated, Mal instantly became a fan favorite.For BuzzFeed's Black, Out & Proud series, I sat down with Mal to discuss the impact of the show, her new role at Netflix, what dating's been like with this newfound fame, and finding comfortability in queerness.Editor's Note: This interview has been edited for length and clarity,Mal Wright: I think my stance on ultimatums are still the same.
I don't like them [laughs]. However, they work. We give them in all types of scenarios in life, be it really big or small, or joking or not.
They're a very normal part of life.Going in, I didn't fully understand the magnitude, but now I'm realizing more of the impact that it's made.
