“It was super empowering for me to step into the shoes of Raquel Thomas,” said Miller. “Understanding the context of the show…this isn’t going to glorify this lifestyle. But it’s always good to see a woman dominating in a position where men take up the most space. I’m happy we’re able to tell this story…seeing the whole power aspect of it from a female perspective.”
