Jasika Nicole is an American actress and illustrator. She is known for her roles, as Astrid Farnsworth on the series Fringe , and on Scandal and The Good Doctor .
On growing up in a mixed-race family in Alabama, she has said :
I was influenced largely by my environment which was almost all white, and anti-black. I understood that my light skin and the fact that I was biracial gave me the point of view that a lot of black girls my age didn’t have, in terms of how others treated us. People would tell me I was pretty, but it was because I have lighter skin. They weren’t saying that to my black cousin.
