Javicia Leslie (born May 30, 1987) is an American actress. After landing her first major role in the Lifetime film Killer Coach (2016), she appeared as a series regular on the BET drama The Family Business (2018–2025) and the CBS comedy-drama God Friended Me (2018–2020). She also starred as the lead of the film Always a Bridesmaid (2019). She played the title role for the last two seasons of the series Batwoman (2021–2022), with five cross-over appearances in the final two seasons of the series The Flash (2021–2023).
The film is set in the 1980s in the US, where the topic of sexual orientation is still taboo, and social norms put enormous pressure on individuals. The main characters, Julia and Miriam, are childhood friends who spent every moment together. Over the years, their friendship transforms into something deeper - they fall in love with each other, but their relationship faces huge social and personal obstacles. Julia, determined and confident, is not ashamed of her identity or her love for Miriam. She openly expresses her feelings and is not afraid to be herself, which gives her a sense of freedom. In contrast, Miriam, who was raised in a conservative family, cannot cope with the social pressures that impose on her to hide her orientation. All the while, Miriam struggles with her inner conflict - her love for Julia is strong, but she can't stand the reaction of those around her who don't approve of their relationship. She decides to pretend to be heterosexual, living in a false relationship with a man to protect herself from ostracism and condemnation. As the two women's relationship develops, Miriam begins to suffer more and more from her decisions. On the one hand, she loves Julia, but on the other, she still can't accept herself and live up to her identity. After many years in hiding, Miriam decides to confess the truth to herself and then confront Julia to confess the truth and ask for forgiveness. And society's expectations? It doesn't matter anymore.
