Candice Patton at the Fan Favorites Panel at San Diego Comic Con 2019. Fan Feedback: After [Candice’s] casting as Iris, we have seen more black women be cast in race-bent, leading lady roles. Despite the racism that she continues to combat, Candice’s performance as Iris has been trail-blazing. Did she realize to the extent which her performance and character would become so important to opening up doors for other talented, amazing black women when she was cast?

Today’s Candice Kristina Patton’s birthday. My wishesfor her are that she ends up free from inconsistent show writers who truly don’t put any effort on writing black female characters. I pray she’ll one day also be free from unsupportive costars and white stylists who don’t know how to do her hair. I truly wish she finds people like Malese Jow and Kim Engelbrecht, people who actually aren’t afraid to defend her from racist bullshit and compliment her in public. Basically I wished for her the best. She’s grown more confident and carefree these past few years and I’m living for it. I hope she stays like this
