“I think that’s a really important message to show girls, that you can have allies along your journey, you could have romantic interests, you can have platonic interests. But either way, you will go on this journey and path on your own.”
This sequel is permeated with the theme of sisterhood and of women rising up against injustice, which is both inspiring and, Brown says, a pertinent reminder of how women across the world are still facing a fight for their rights.
“Women have been fighting for their rights, their equal rights, their workers’ rights,” the star says.
“We don’t realise how much women do: they’re mothers, they’re wives, they’re homemakers, they also have dreams and ambitions.And luckily, in this day and age, we get to have opportunities that are far better than the 1800s.
“But we still struggle with them.There are still stigmas and standards and hurdles that we must leap.
“I think it’s really important to remember that we can find camaraderie within each other, a kindred spirit that we can connect with, and sisterhood – which is the message of the film, I think.
“Meaningful stories like that can reach broader audiences, especially with Netflix, and to be able to be a part of that is a dream come true.”
