In this open and honest interview, Lovisa discussed how growing up in an interracial family affected her upbringing:
"Racism is a major issue in Sweden, but it’s complicated because society pretends it doesn’t exist. I didn’t understand a lot
of the racist moments I experienced until I was older, because they often came from a very “well-meaning” and micro-aggressive
place. It’s complicated to fully grasp feeling hurt by a comment or action that is being served in pseudo-friendly packaging"
Lovisa also talked about body positivity and tokenism within the industry:
At the end of the day, I tick a few boxes: POC, curvy and queer. So when people are casting and come across me, it’s like
winning the diversity lottery. I try to stay away from working with those people again: if that’s how you go about casting,
we just don’t match."
