I organized an AMA/Q&A with actress Kara Young. She's recently broken out in the film/TV world with roles in I Love Boosters and I'm A Virgo, and she has been a mainstay on Broadway for years, winning 2 Tony Awards in 2024 and 2025, with acclaimed performances in Proof (currently co-starring with Ayo Edebiri), Purlie Victorious, Purpose, Clyde's and more.
It's live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

She will be back at around 4-5 PM ET today to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!
Her newest film, Is God Is, is out in theaters in May. It co-stars Erika Alexander, Janelle Monae, Vivica A. Fox, and Sterling K. Brown.
Two sisters embark on an epic quest for revenge, confronting a charged family history that pushes them to extraordinary lengths.

She is the first Black actress to be Tony-nominated in four consecutive years (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) for Best Featured Actress in a Play and the first African-American actress to win two consecutive Tonys.
