I am excited for my audience to see me in a new avatar.” She also opened up about her future plans of exploring the platform further adding, “I’m looking forward to experimenting more in OTT shows. When I look at content on OTT, I love that the characters are so real, they are not just defined by relationships but rather the writing is based on creating a personality.”
