Notes and Trivia[]

Meg initially auditioned for the role of Yolanda Montez. It was here that she first met Anjelika Washington, who would later be cast as Beth Chapel.
- She was called back a week later to audition for Cindy, as the casting directors explained that Meg was the only actress who brought an "edge" to Yolanda. They wanted to see her for Cindy/Shiv instead.
Shiv's wrist blades were custom-fit to Meg's wrists, so much so, that she barely noticed them. The hardest part was resting her hands in a way that felt realistic.^[2]
Meg loves Cindy's white streaks, referring to them as a, "fashion statement". It made her feel as though she were playing a character and not resembling herself. She also noted that on time, she forgot she was wearing them and went to a carnival in Atlanta with Yvette Monreal.^[3]
She is best friends with Yvette Monreal who portrays Yolanda Montez on Stargirl. They are often seen together off-set and spent most of the 2020 quarantine together.
- They also share the same birthday four years apart.
Meg was nominated in 2019 for Best Supporting Actress by the Lady Filmmakers Film Festival for her role in Woodstock or Bust.
Meg was part of the Geena Institute Q&A for the Season 2 premiere of Stargirl
