These luxurious details fell by the wayside when it came to making Zoya (Whitney Peak), who had a very different upbringing than her half-sister. Describing Zoya as an activist, Daman said it was “very important” for the character to carry goods owned by Black, such as a bag from Revolution Books in New York City.
“If she’s going to be sociopolitical, she’s an activist and it was very important to include the Black merchandise because she got this kind of hero tote from Revolution Books, that black bookstore here in town,” he shared . “It was important to add these elements to her signature pieces, which have a sociopolitical message. But it’s not just the band t-shirt or a grunge t-shirt that has something bigger and a little bit of voice. “
Other blinking and missing details include a used AIDS-era t-shirt, an item that provides the show with a “platform to discuss things in a different way”.
