Your pals at Entertainment Weekly asked Steph Beatriz who’s in the hopper to play Rosa’s girlfriend on Brooklyn Nine-Nine and she’s gave an answer you’re gonna love.
“I just read a script for next week’s table read that’s got some really exciting possibilities for Rosa and her lady friends,” says Stephanie Beatriz, who has a number of dream castings for Rosa’s girlfriends. “Love Gina Rodriguez, and think she would be fantastic.

I feel like J.Lo and Rosa would make a great couple — but not Jennifer Lopez the actress, like the real J.Lo, with J.Lo playing J.Lo.”

I love Black Lightning and I love Carmen’s recaps of Black Lightning and I love this interview with Black Lightning’s Nafessa Williams.
“I’m just really grateful to tell the story for young lesbians — and black lesbians in particular — who don’t really see themselves on TV, My hope is that when you watch Anissa, a young lesbian is inspired to walk boldly as who she is and to love herself and to love herself exactly how she looks.”
