“Our mother is from Cincinnati,” Reina said WKRC while promoting the film this week.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Regina said Cincinnati is her “second home” and filming the movie gave her a chance to explore the city.
The shoot started a month before Regina’s son Ian Alexander Jr. committed suicide at the age of 26.

Shirley wrapped in April 2022 and Regina told the story Black love that the shoot taught her “resilience” in the midst of tragedy.
‘I didn’t know how resilient I could be. I didn’t know how much… how much further family could expand. Even when I think about – just like (actors) Lucas (Hedges) and Christina (Jackson). Two people I didn’t know, but who felt like family. So just… I think I’ve learned that I can never stop being surprised and impressed,” she explained.
Regina’s latest role forced her to push herself as an actress, as she had to adopt a Barbadian accent and master Chisholm’s mannerisms.
Chisholm’s historic campaign began in 1972 when she became the first black candidate to seek the Democratic nomination for president of the United States. Netflix considered ‘groundbreaking’.
