In the discussion, the duo stressed the importance of seeing people they can relate to in movies and television.
For Lana growing up, that person was Janel. While the duo expressed how happy they were to see more representation in what they watch, they also admitted there is still a lot to be done.
“There’s still a lot more work that needs to be done in terms of representation and the way that we’re seen,” Lana said in the Katie Couric video.
In fact, Lana added she was once asked to act like Hello Kitty in an audition, playing into harmful stereotypes.
“I was in this audition and they literally said to me, ‘Be like Hello Kitty.’ I ended up being like, ‘Well I’m probably not the kind of person you’re looking for then,” Lana explained.

The trio can be seen holding hands with cast mate Sarayu Blue, who thankfully provides a lighthearted moment during the sad occasion.

“My grandma’s middle name was Moon. Her nickname, Moony. I miss her, but we are so grateful that we had her on this earth for 90 beautiful years,” Janel wrote on Instagram.
“Thank you @_dr_woo_ for memorializing my beautiful grandma as she now is: shining down on us, forever Moony, always an anchor in my universe,” she added.
