i did a quick google of her and saw she was in a couple of the fifty shades movie which i expect may have been a bit of inspiration too

Me neither and a working actress! That and Gabrielle Union’s involvement in it made me want to watch it and I actually really enjoyed it.

She had a good interview with R29 where they asked her why they chose to make her characters white which added some extra context.

she initially wrote a white couple bc no one would buy her past book with an interacial couple
