“I do find that talking about it is helpful, and that often means calling my mom in the middle of the night. Sometimes I make her sleep on the phone with me like a frickin’ baby,” she adds.

Previously, the actress admitted it's a "heavy responsibility" being a young black woman in Hollywood. "I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, but I'm appreciative for that because with that there's a lot of good that I can do and I know who is watching."
