Chemistry Lessons — Aja Naomi King: She Made This | Apple TV+
Aja Naomi King received her first Emmy nomination this morning for her role as Harriet Sloane in the Apple TV+ miniseries Lessons in Chemistry.
"This is one of the greatest days of my life," King said. "Sometimes things come along that just blow your mind, because the experience of it was so perfectly wonderful. If no one had seen it, I would still be so grateful to have played this character. But the fact that it meant so much to so many people, and that I had such an amazing experience working with such phenomenal artists, and then to be nominated… This is magic, this is pure magic."
The experience was made even more special for King, as the character of Harriet Sloane was drastically changed for the series. “They created this amazing character and transformed her to be just me,” she says, “and it was such a gift to be trusted with that and to expand the world of the story in that way. It was just so meaningful and such a beautiful process to be a part of.”
