I had just had my daughter, Freya. I had gained 60 lbs and now I&#8217;m being asked to be in an action TV show. I&#8217;m like, &#8216;how does this work?&#8217; But I believed in myself. I knew it could happen,&#8221; Brooks said.<\/p>\n<p>In this role, Brooks had influence on her hair and clothing, saying, &#8220;representation matters, as we know.&#8221; She explained she was able to work with the costume designer to customize her character&#8217;s style.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wanted people to say, &#8216;I know her, I am her.&#8217; I didn&#8217;t want it to just be like her in clothes. Clothes matter,&#8221; Brooks said.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a change in opportunity from some of her former acting roles.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Playing characters like &#8216;Orange is the New Black&#8217;s&#8217; Taystee where I&#8217;m just wearing a jump suit for seven years. Even &#8216;The Color Purple,&#8217; that was a very like standard type of look, period piece. To show personality, a lot of us show who we are through what we wear, our hair, our clothes, our accessories,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>On balancing her acting career and family life, Brooks credited those around her for their support, saying, &#8220;you cannot do it by yourself \u2026 You need your people, and I have my people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She said she wants her daughter to know that she&#8217;s ambitious, but added, &#8220;I never let the ambition get in the way of our bond and our time together. \u2026 You are my number one. She is my number one,&#8221; Brooks said.<\/p>\n<p><em>Season two of &#8220;Peacemaker&#8221; premieres Thursday Aug. 21 on HBO Max.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/search\/author\/kelsie-hoffman\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Kelsie  Hoffman<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Kelsie Hoffman is a push and platform editor on CBS News&#8217; Growth and Engagement team.
