The Flash’s Candice Patton paid tribute to Boy Meets World star Trina McGee. The actress played Angela on the hit sitcom way back in the TGIF era on ABC. She might not have been on the series at the beginning, but as the Matthews kids got older, their universe began to expand. Patton explained that seeing McGee’s character be a love interest for Shawn on the show really imprinted on her. Boy Meets World was huge at the time, and seeing a Black actress get that role really changed how The CW star thought about herself. TV Guide had asked Patton for who made her feel seen on television, and it’s clear this was a big choice for her. The Iris West actress is probably doing a bit of the same for some young girls out there right now with her work on the Arrowverse. Check out her entire explanation down below:
For #BlackHistoryMonth in 2019, we asked @candicepatton about the first time she felt seen on TV. Her tribute to Boy Meets World’s @realtrinamcgee is so genuine and sweet 💘
