Emayatzy Corinealdi, Jax Stewart on Hulu’s REASONABLE DOUBT, discusses preparing for set, taking charge of your career as an actor, and her next goals.

Topics Discussed

● Series is loosely based on Celebrity attorney Shawn Holley, who is a co-executive producer.

● When we first meet Jax, she’s going through all these crises but still managing her life as well as

getting into this new case with Brayden Mitchell.

● The idea of code switching doesn’t mean that one version is real and the other version is not -

you can be both versions and both of them be authentic.

● There are so many different kinds of characters on the show and we truly just get to see the

characters exist.

● Jax is trying to juggle it all – as a mother, as a wife – and as a career-oriented person; she’s

unapologetically ambitious and unapologetically in her power
