Pinnock goes on to share that both of her parents are mixed race and that both of her grandfathers moved to England and married white women "at a time when interracial relationships were extremely frowned upon." "I had the biggest awakening of my life," she says. "When we were filming 'Wings,' we worked with [black director and choreographer] Frank Gatson. He said to me, ‘You’re the black girl. You have to work 10 times harder.’ Never in my life has someone told me that I would need to work harder because of my race. Later on, what Frank Gatson said made sense."
