class="content__text" Introducing our Global Spring Cover Star, Cynthia Erivo!⁠ ⁠ As an actress, #CynthiaErivo has a penchant for playing the "complicated villain." Next month, she stars in the Netflix film #LutherTheFallenSun and next year she'll play Elphaba alongside #ArianaGrande in the new #Wicked movie adaptation. What makes Erivo so apt for these roles is their contradictions, something she relates to herself: "I think I'm constantly trying to make people understand that I have varying sides." And it's this kinship with her characters that has allowed her to understand them at their core. "Humans will be both darkness and light. That's what makes us human."
