Amandla Stenberg has officially responded to backlash from some fans against her casting in the forthcoming ‘Children of Blood and Bone’ film adaptation. Since the character is described as having “dark copper skin” and Stenberg is of a lighter complexion, fans of the book have accused her of stealing roles from darker-skinned women.  The actress recently took to TikTok to address some of the online discourse about her role as Princess Amari in the movie, based on the novel by New York Times bestselling author Tomi Adeyemi. Swipe 👉🏾 for a clip from Stenberg’s full response to the backlash. #amandlastenberg #childrenofbloodandbone #blackhollywood #shadowandact
