In an interview with Digital Spy, the Nigerian-born American actress – who plays Bilquis in the critically-acclaimed fantasy drama – praised the show for igniting conversations about sexuality with its diverse slate of characters. “We have these characters, like Salim, and the discussions happening there with that.
We have the wonderful Devery Jacobs. I’m so excited, this season, for everybody to meet Dominique Jackson as the goddess that she is,” she explained.
Since its 2017 debut, the series has introduced a wide variety of LGBTQ+ characters such as Sam Black Crow (Jacobs), Salim (Omid Abtahi) and The Jinn (Mousa Kraish).
