With a home in Winston-Salem and another in California, 11-year-old Mychal-Bella Bowman has the best of two worlds.
âIn California, I have my friends, and in North Carolina, I have my family,â Mychal-Bella said.
And life is about to get even sweeter for the young actress.
âThe Underground Railroad,â an Amazon Prime Video series will premiere May 14 on the streaming service.
Mychal-Bella plays Grace, a lead role, in this drama that is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Colson Whitehead.
The series chronicles Cora Randallâs desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. It is set in an alternate version of the 19th century in which the Underground Railroad is a literal underground train system used to transport escaped slaves to freedom up north. It was filmed in Savannah, Ga.
