Well, I did recently see she said she was using an East African accent that would be used in the region her character is from.
You told me before that you got to collaborate on Akasha’s characterization and appearance. What are some specific contributions you made, and what did you feel was really important to include?
The main thing was just how she sounds, her accent. And the hair as well. The hair was a conversation and both of those things were references from ancient Kemet, ancient Egypt, some of modern day Egypt and East Africa, some of the Middle Eastern parts of the world. That was really important to me to ground Akasha both in a time, at least when we see her this time, of course. If we see her in the future, then she will be in the present day.
