Mia Isaac

Mia Wei-Ming Isaac (born May 25, 2004) is an American actress who made her debut in the 2019 TV movie Lovestruck. Quotes I struggled a lot with worrying that I take up too much space or that I’m too loud or too big or too confident, I love that Rowan is unapologetically taking up the space and having a big platform. She is who she is, and she’s not afraid of it or sorry for it. I’m learning from her in that way. I’m just hoping that it sparks some conversation. What I really love about Rowan is that for the first time we can focus on the survivors of shootings. I don’t think that’s something people talk about often. Rowan is an activist and people use her as a political figure, but she’s been through real trauma. You can see the effect that it has on her mental health. Hopefully Rowan’s character can bring that to light because it’s a real problem. It doesn’t feel real. I think it’s good for me—it’s hard for me to sit still. It always feels good to have something to focus on or something to work on. I just feel really lucky. For a big part of my life, I was dreaming of these kinds of things and never thought they could actually come true. As a kid I just wanted to see myself on screen. I’ve never really seen that many girls that look like me in movies or TV shows. It felt like such a big unrealistic dream that I kind of never thought it could come true, so now it feels surreal. When I saw Don’t Make Me Go at Tribeca Film Festival, it was really emotional because I’d never seen myself on a big screen like that. I’m so grateful I got to do that and see it with my family. I have always loved Zendaya. But for me as a little kid, very little, I was obsessed with Harry Potter and Hunger Games and Marvel movies. I loved those fantasy, superhero, out-of-this-world things. So that had always been a dream of mine. I mean, I was Hermione Granger and Katniss Everdeen for Halloween. I’ve always wanted to be a superhero. I’ve been really lucky in that I've gotten to see the beginnings of a new era in film. I’ve only ever worked with female directors. I’ve never worked with a male director, and that’s something that’s new. Not a lot of people can say that. So I feel like I’ve already seen tons of change. I’m excited to see what comes next, and I hope I can be a part of it.
