'Tall Girl 2' Star Anjelika Washington Shares 10 Fun Facts (Exclusive)

Tall Girl 2 is out now and we are getting to know more about Anjelika Washington!

The actress portrays Fareeda in the new Netflix sequel, Jodi’s best friend.

Of her character and her journey in the movie, Anjelika recently told Screen Rant, “I’ve always played Fareeda as this uber confident girl; that best friend who will pull you up and remind you who you are, and be like, ‘Girl, get it together. You are stunning. You are amazing. You’re smart, you’re whatever.’ And for the first time, we see Fareeda doubt herself a little bit, and I think that’s just a very interesting moment.”

“It reminds me that sometimes – whether it’s on social media or in real life – the people that you assume are the most confident people, that would never doubt themselves and are just very sure of themselves, also have that moment where they might be insecure. You just don’t know that,” she added.

You may also know her from DC’s Stargirl on The CW, where she portrays Beth Chapel/Doctor Mid-Nite. If you didn’t know, the show will be back for season three.
