Moreover, her distant mother sweeps into town. In the interview, she explains:

“I feel like her mother coming is yet another piece of the puzzle, and in a way, it’s sort of like she’s just continuing to unpack, like literally and figuratively this season,”

Eventually, she added:

“That’s what we’re seeing. She is settling here, she has chosen to be here, she is now literally unpacking a new space. And you see her unpacking emotionally, acknowledging that there’s so much under the hood that needed a tune-up for a minute.”

In the show, viewers will find her role as Charlie doubtful and unsure of the appearance of her conscientious mother (Sharon Lawrence).

Furthermore, in the show, you will also find Charley’s business decisions, personal life, and identity as a bi-racial woman.

Dawn herself finds herself very close to the character Charley. Connecting the talk to her show and character, she also gave a sneak peek at women’s empowerment. In the talk, she described:

“I loved this idea that there was this woman before all the armor came on. There was someone before the perfection and before all the structures are in place. And I felt like I know that moment. I felt like a lot of women know that moment. The moment before you have to get yourself armed for the world. And especially if you’re in an industry where you’re not supposed to be.”

Her words in the talks give meaning as Queen Sugar is also the show from the two female Oprah and Ava DuVernay.

After the direction of two episodes of the show, she placed a versatile and talented circle of female directors.

In the circle, she also included formidable Julie Dash this season, to bring the show to life.

Dawn explained:

“It’s just a dream come true. For years before this project, I had been talking with friends of mine about women in business and about going on set, guest starring on shows, and walking into all-male environments from either the casting room to the actual set, and how normalized you make that, but it has a cost,”

Moreover, she added:

“You feel other-ed, you just do. There isn’t necessarily a leaning into your point of view or offering of the woman.”
