I’ve also been clear with people I’m still finding myself. This position that I’m in is so new to me. I’m not blind to the position that I’m in of being a great influence on people my age, on younger people. What feels important to you about being so open and transparent about aspects of yourself that might make you feel vulnerable, or be perceived as vulnerabilities, like your BPD diagnosis and your sexuality? Sometimes you get something random and sometimes you get out of it what you put into it. I like social media currently, but it all depends. I look at my tags a lot and open my DMs and I get a lot of really beautiful stories and beautiful messages from people. I feel like Instagram is where I can try to interact with my fan base the most. I feel like I’ve learned so much and I really see the content that I want. Twitter brings me more intense feelings I try to avoid that on a day that I’m anxious and wait to open that when I have tougher skin or something. Every form of social media has its own feelings that come with it. I feel like so many things overnight switched to being technology and socials. What is your relationship with social media like now, especially as your visibility is increasing?Īgain, another thing that just changed so much because of the pandemic. I saw in some interviews that you and your girlfriend met on social media. It’s something natural for me to post on social media. And I feel like that’s something that’s easy for me to post. Especially on social media, I’m not the most savvy content creator. My space is a little broad: I like cottagecore, I like trends, I like a lot of it. I care about my personal style, which is a little all over the place. It’s something that I’ve just always loved. As long as I can remember, I loved femininity, I loved makeup, I loved fashion. What draws you to that form of creative expression? On your social media, you play a lot with beauty and style and glam. I feel like I get to represent on behalf of the show regardless of the character’s relationships. It’s been a joy to have so many queer people gravitate toward me, and toward my character, because it’s not necessarily a queer character. I’ve been pretty open with people about my mental health and about my sexuality and so much of myself because I want to create a community within my own fan base. I came out very early on just because while I’m gaining a fan base, I need them to know who I am - whose team they feel like they’re joining with the person they’re supporting, you know? I definitely feel like because I’ve come out, I have a different connection to my fan base that’s not only just a commonality with them, but I feel more personal with them because they know a huge part of me. I think mostly due to the pandemic, my community with everyone has changed. The community in the queer space for me has changed a lot. I’m a storyteller I have a long list of stories that I want to tell. If the right project came along, I would even love to help develop it. I haven’t had that opportunity up until this point of my career and I would love nothing more than to tell a real and authentic story. What kinds of creative projects or acting roles are you interested in moving forward in your career? So it’s kind of changed the way that I looked at it: as work, versus now on season three, returning to a family, returning to our crew. I feel like I spent my first couple years as an actor really not understanding all of the other jobs on set because I wasn’t there for long enough to ask questions and learn. It’s actually really fun to just hop in for a little bit and leave, but really growing with the cast and growing with your crew has been an incredible experience. It’s changed so much, because playing smaller roles and being on set for a short amount of time is its own thing. How has being on a show for a longer period of time changed or affected your relationship to acting? There’s also some romantic chemistry for her to explore this season. I think her time on the island cleared things up for her. She’s going through more of the same, still with the push and pull with her parents and really finding what it is she wants to do. I think they’ve written something really, really awesome and I’m excited for the historical aspect of this season.Īs for what we can expect to see from Kiara: more of her fighter spirit. I’m really just excited for the storyline itself of this treasure hunt. This season is so packed with adventures. What are you most excited about for this new season of Outer Banks**?
