Naomi Ackie talks about portraying the iconic singer Whitney Houston in wannadancemovie: 'I learned a lot about myself during the making of the film, which has instilled in me a sense of confidence moving forward.”
What happens next is the slickest of transitions, instantly taking fans back to 1999, when the original music video hit living rooms around the world. Ackie’s reinvented Whitney transforms from a frazzled bystander in her own life to a seductress who has put herself back on top. When asked if Ackie agrees that certain audiences, namely women of color, will clap the loudest as she enters the frame in sleek black leather just like Houston, she nods effusively, grinning ear-to-ear.
“You know what's so funny? ‘It's Not Right But It's Okay’ is the first song I remember coming out as a hit single when I was younger,” she says, reminiscing of her days back in. “It was the leather dress, the deep fringe, the bob. And she was like, ‘I've had enough. You're going to stop your wickedness, and I'm going to be OK.
lucky that my team, my family, and my friends were like, ‘Nae, if you don't try this you'll never know.’”
