I was lucky enough to attend the Rings of Power FYC Event as my dear friend, Kelly Lynne D’Angelo’s plus one! It was amazing getting to see the sixth episode on the big screen, a Q&A with some cast and crew, as well as some of the gorgeous costumes in real life! I also had the honor of telling Ismael Cruz Cordova how important it was to me to see an elf played by a PoC in the Tolkien universe. Pretty sure I called him a trail blazer, but honestly I was so nervous I don’t remember everything either of us said.
