Alisha Boe is opening up about the empowerment she felt while filming 13 Reasons Why.
The 22-year-old actress spoke about the #MeToo and Times Up movements during the second season, and going into season three.
“Yeah, I think it’s absolutely inevitable,” Alisha told Glamour about the movements being on her mind. “It has to be. It’s interesting because during the second season, we were filming the court scene where Jessica finally goes against her abuser. I think a week before we filmed it is when Ronan Farrow released that article [in The New Yorker about Harvey Weinstein]. Every single day, I would wake up and see new articles. Another news article, a headline of another woman speaking up against her attacker. I remember going in on that day to film that scene, and I felt very empowered.”
“More and more, we’re given collectively, as women, a platform because people are listening,” she added. “Because we aren’t afraid to speak. Because of the woman who came before us who spoke out. They opened all these endless doors. As a woman, it’s on your mind every single day.”
Alisha continued on how she hopes other girls feel when watching her character.
“I hope they feel empowered,” she said. “I surely felt empowered playing and reading the words she had to say. I hope they realize they’re not defined—no one is defined by their trauma. They can be whoever they want to be. They can be as powerful as they want to be.”
