Annie Ilonzeh

I'm really good with sweats, not really good with heels, and not really good with accessorizing yet.

I feel like decades ago it was either you're black, white, Asian or Hispanic, or whatever, but today we see more of an acceptance for people with multi-nationalities.

I come from an interracial family: My father is from Nigeria, and so he is African-American, and my mother is American and white, so I rarely see skin color. It's never an issue for me.

I think to have the skill set and the ability to physically help others in matters of life and death must be incredibly empowering.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.
