‘Sinners’ Star Jayme Lawson Speaks Out on BAFTA Incident: “That’s Exploitation”

"Just because you invite someone into a space, but you don't provide the necessary resources to keep them and everyone else in that room safe by them being there, that's not inclusivity," Lawson told THR on the NAACP Image Awards red carpet.
