You’ve seen her on shows like Supernatural and Jane the Virgin, heard her voice as Hawkgirl in the video game LEGO DC Super-Villains, and watched her bring Meghan Markle to life in Lifetime’s Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal.

Today, she’s here with us to talk about her latest project as the writer behind Masters of the Universe: Andra—which puts a spotlight on one of Eternia’s most compelling heroes.
