There’s a group of Asian actresses in a group chat and we talk on a daily basis and do Zoom calls. We keep in touch with each other that way. We kind of talk about how if we didn’t have this time, we wouldn’t have taken the time to dive into these relationships. Miki Ishikawa: It’s funny because some of my newer friendships have really flourished during the quarantine. POC Culture: Who’s been helping to keep you afloat and how have your friendships evolved? At the end of the day I can still eat, go get food, have a roof over my head and pay bills. I think I just had to learn that it’s okay if I’m not okay one day. I have anxiety and sometimes depression so it was definitely harder but I’m fortunate to have my therapist that I talk to once a week and having a solid group of friends that I’ve been able to connect with has been really important to me. In the beginning it was a bit of an adjustment. POC Culture: How are you doing? How have you been managing? Please note, this interview took place in 2020 and has been edited for clarity.īe sure to follow Ishikawa on Instagram and Twitter and watch her in Marvel Studios’ The Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Disney+ and AMC’s The Terror: Infamy! Of course we also talked about The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and what it feels like to be part of the Marvel Studios family, but expectedly, she couldn’t say too much about her role. I had the chance to speak with Ishikawa virtually and we discussed a wide range of topics, including social justice activism, the troubling growth of anti-Asian sentiment (even prior to recent events), the Asian-American acting community, and even touring with the likes of Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers as a kid. Of course fans of The Terror: Infamy know Ishikawa well from her role as Amy Yoshida in AMC’s groundbreaking series that infused a horror story with socially and historically relevant messages. With Leah, fans of Bucky Barnes finally had a chance to see a little bit of romance included in Bucky’s story, and as I wrote in my review, the two had incredible chemistry. Marvel Studios fans who watched the premiere episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier were introduced to an exciting new character in Leah, played by Miki Ishikawa.
