Why casting children for Beyonc茅 project was 'a dream come true'
A woman who cast most of the children in one of the sections of Beyonc茅鈥檚 Black is King says it was a dream come true "for all black children".
Selma Nicholls says she founded casting agency Looks Like Me after her daughter said she wanted straight hair and to look like Elsa and Anna in Frozen. Selma told 麻豆社 Radio 5 Live 鈥渢hat鈥檚 when I asked the question 'why isn鈥檛 everybody represented?'鈥�
Selma was contacted by the director of the Brown Skin Girl segment of Black is King, Jenn Nkiru, and asked to do additional casting for the film. She said casting the children, many of whom had never acted before, was a 鈥渄ream come true, not just for me, not just for those children who were selected but for all black children鈥�.
