MN: There are some pretty dark elements to this show. I’ve actually gone to bed and had a nightmare or two about it. Are there any aspects of the storyline that affect you outside of filming?
Melissa: For me, definitely, because it is so dark, I have to go into a realm of positivity. I listen to a lot of different pastors like Darius Daniels, TD Jakes, and just grounding myself back spiritually because the subject matter can affect you. As actors, we’re empathizing with the characters so it can definitely take you to a low moment. But for me, I pull myself out that way. Also just getting involved back into my daily life by working out, hanging out with friends, calling my family. Just getting back to Melissa and separating myself from Ruth. That’s how I do it.
