1. She’s Confident

Scott is all about self-confidence. She opened up about her secrets to Teen Vogue. “I think I just like to trust myself more. I no longer feel like I have to look a certain way or be a certain way, especially in comparison to my white peers and what they are doing. I’m now trying to feel more comfortable and confident with my body and with who I am. That includes wearing what feels good on the day. If that is sweats, then I’ll wear sweats. If that's a low body con dress, then that's what I’ll wear.”

2. She Doesn’t Wear Too Much Makeup

Scott is all about being natural. She tells Teen Vogue that she doesn’t wear a lot of makeup. “My go-to makeup routine normally is no makeup. Honestly, I’d love [not] wearing anything and just letting my dark spots do whatever and just walk out the door. But, if I’m going to do makeup, I use Fenty Beauty's foundation, a quick lip color that doubles as my blush, and some mascara.”

3. She Believes In Diversity

Scott is an advocate for diversity. Especially when it comes to TV. “I hope that people are beginning to show up and, instead of checking boxes that they are inherently beginning to put that into the work so that it doesn’t come off forced or contrived,” she tells Grazia. “The norm becomes inclusive and equitable and diverse. Mindy seems to be very good at that in her canon of work. She often includes something we don’t see that often, which is young black and brown girls not being hyper-sexualized but just being sexual and having the experiences that we see young white women having all the time—but just to see it in a different way—and to see disabled people having the same experience, just seeing different bodies and different types of people. And it’s done not necessarily to check boxes but just to represent people. I hope that that’s what the work continues to be.”

Scott tells Grazia that she struggled with self-doubts when it comes to her career. She says that she made sure to reassure herself. “I dealt with a lot of imposter syndrome on this show—as me and also as Whitney,” she says. “Whitney definitely experiences it as well. But as Alyah entering the space and walking onto the Warner Bros. lot and all these doors opening I kept thinking: Why me? Why am I here? What’s going on? And I think aspects of that are real and true, but also I think a lot of it is about my past trauma of realizing my body subconsciously knows that there are systems in place that desire to keep me out of these spaces so that when I step into these spaces I’m now questioning myself because of all these systems. That’s trauma I didn’t ask for but I inherently have. And it was definitely work every single day on the set to say to myself, ‘Put that out of your mind because it’s not real. You’re here because you’re supposed to be here.’”

5. She Takes Care Of Her Acne

Scott makes sure to take care of her skin. She tells Byrdie that fighting acne is important to her. “​​The SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore moisturizer is my everything. I've had cystic acne since I was about 12-years-old, and this product always helps restore my moisture barrier when I'm using any harsher or drying products for my acne.”
