Caribbean beauty! She hides her accent well, I would have thought she has some southern roots.

elly That accent is easier to cover with southern twang. You would think one was southern who was covering a island accent

I am from Trinidad moved to the states when I was 10 and I have had people ask me am I from the South because I have learned to hide my accent.I have no ties to the south whatsoever.

Boo Boo Kitty...The character bad but the actress that plays her is a gem.
I love Grace's personality. I hope she continues to get roles in Hollywood, I would love to see her on the big screen.

We cover our accent so people can under t and us because sometimes it's so thick or we talk so fast people don't understand and we have to repeat ourselves or they just don't understand our terms.

Take another example: Rihanna! Caribbean people have a strong accent and we got to cover it up so people can understand us

I'm curious... do you feel as though you aren't being your authentic self when you're covering up your accent?
@Julist1010Aviation

lighteyes214 I don't think it's about being your authentic self, it's just that people might have a hard time understanding the dialect that's spoken across the Caribbean, especially tourists for example. We cover it up to communicate better or to make it sound more professionally! :)

+lighteyes214 It is so people can understand her better, people do not hear her accent very often and it is quite hard to follow when you're not used to the "lingo". Also it probably would stand in her way when trying to land work.
I bet when she angry her accents comes out real quick lol, yeah we're good at disguising it till you piss us off, then you find out

A lot of people are like that. I have a friend from the West Bank part of New Orleans. Very distinct accent. He can kind of hide it until he gets mad. It's like talking to a different person. LOL

Being from Jamaica, I find that one of the most offensive things to experience is someone "requesting" that you speak in your native tongue for their personal amusement. We are not circus performers, and the round of applause thereafter is quite unnecessary.

She is beautiful! we used to attend the same church like around 2006 -2007 while she was in college. When I first met her I said you look like Jada Pickett. She dated a friend of mine. She lived in Tampa Florida attending USF. At this time her fascination was with dancing which does very well. I knew she expressed interest in Acting at that time but never did Imagine she would be where she is today. She worked hard she has degrees in the performing arts field. She is,very well trained.
Keep up the great work Grace! Us Caymanians are proud of you!
Yes teedee represent our country well Nough love from the Cayman Islands 🇰🇾💛
it sounds like all three popular carribean accents merged; trini barbados and jamaican

So beautiful. I am of Jamaican heritage. Thank you for sharing that about Sierre Leone, I didn't know that. Sending love to all.
Grace's accent is fiyah!!
I think its so cute how excited she was about Walmart 😂
I have family from Jamaica and Trinidad and I hear their accents non stop!!!!!
Girl same, from the Caribbean here. So would love a Target here
Lived in Cayman for 4 years. Many years ago. (I'm Jamaican, myself). Never watched Empire, but I saw her in 'The Gifted ' Found that she played an excellent villain. Then I was shocked to learn that she was West Indian--much less Caymanian. Good for her. Great talk show appearance, too!
Love you, Grace. It was great working with you.
She is gorgeous!! I love her Cayman accent and her American one too.
Yeeees I love her real accent !
She sounds so cute!!! You could tell Meredith enjoyed it!!!
awwww Grace so beautiful 🤍💕💝💝💕🤍💕❤️💝💕🤍❤️❤️💕💕💝💝🤍💕❤️
sounds really pretty. love my Caribbean peeps !
she so BEAUTIFUL😍😍
this lady is so beautiful and well spoken
This woman is so perfectly beautiful I'm aware that I could be jealous but jeez she is stunning and she seems strong gracious kind and humble that I'll just prefer to admire her and wish her many more blessings in life.
Grace is so beautiful! I LOVE her!
Grace is a beautiful girl. Her hair is always so pretty.
she is so cute i love her real accent! she has the cutes face!
Wow I would never thing she had an cayman accent. Its so cute 💗
LOVE IT !
What a beautiful accent omg 😻
Many West Indians in this and my generation (I'm 27) speak perfect english from time to time, including Romany Malco who's from BK and is 100% Trini. Like any place, you have to adapt to the surroundings but their accent always slips the cracks, and they speak in their accent around family or their West Indian friends who can understand them.
She gorgeous! Love her personality
ahh i loveeee her natural accent! very cool:)
OMGGG THIS GIRL IS EVERYTHINGGGG 😍😍😍❤❤❤❤😣😣😣
What a beauty queen. Love her gorgeous neck. Omg. Thanks for sharing.
