From Clutch Magazine: Recently, Jasmine Guy and Juliette Fairley had some interesting things to say about biracial actors and actresses: they need more roles.

At the premiere of Fairley’s new film series, The Mulatto Saga (more details on Shadow & Act),the filmmaker explained her position: “There’s a lack of roles in Hollywood for bi-racial women. So, I create my own content that I star in and in the process I create work for other actors of all races, genders and nationalities.”
