DeWanda Wise sat down with Vulture at our Emmy Studio in L.A. and shared the exhaustive ways she readied herself for her role on the Netflix series She’s Gotta Have It. “I love the research portion of being an actor,” Wise said. “I love ingesting knowledge.”

“Anything that was actually referenced in season one or season two of the show, I did, or saw, or read,” she added.
