Black Panther has been widely accepted by many people, including critics, who consider it one of the best. And Letitia's role as Wakanda's princess, head of the technology ministry, has changed the narrative of a spoiled princess into one that has something to offer to her society. Its role is also to cause young black women to climb and take up their positions in any industries. But who would believe that the actor was on the brink of retirement from her career due to depression.
She shares her story with PlayerFM
She said,
That was a big moment for me because I didn’t want to do acting again. I was in a very bad place and the reason why I shared the story is because I know that there are people out there who are silently going through what I wnet through and didn’t really speak to anyone about it. It’s like a thing that goes on especially with creatives, putting so much pressure on ourselves and it leads to depression.
I share my story not to keep talking about it, its like, literally, I don’t know who it can help but if one person can be able to find a way out of that because that stuff is dark, so, I was willing to wrap it up. I put so much pressure on myself.
I would watch these women that I’m on the cover with and compare myself to them or anybody. It could be Michael B. Jordan, John Boyega—comparing myself to these people before I became a christian and it was hard for me to just accept that my path is different, and not only with acting but other things too.
And then when I said I wanted to give it up and then becoming a christian. My friends told me about [Christianity] and I thought it was nonsense until I realized that it wasn’t; that the spirit of God, the holy spirit, is very real and I embraced that. I felt cool, this is amazing and I felt centered. Then God hit me with the bombshell that no, you’re going back into it and this is your gift and this is your calling and this is how you’re gonna be able to help others as well.
The light that’s in me now and the joy and the happiness that I feel, I didn’t get it on my own. It’s literally God that is working through me.
