"I learned so much," 'The Hate You Give's youngest Carter, TJ Wright, talks about working with Regina Hall and Russell Hornsby

In an exclusive interview with Meaww, the 10-year-old talks about his acting career, from back when he was two years old and charts out his future plans.

The New York Times bestseller-turned-2018's must-watch film 'The Hate You Give' garnered raving reviews from critics but the one character who stole the show, grabbing the audience's attention to a heart-warming degree, was the youngest member of the Carter family -- Sekani Carter, played by 10-year-old TJ Wright.

Excited to be turning 11 next month, TJ Wright sits with Meaww for a quick interview and shared his biggest takeaway from the first movie he booked to currently working on a novel.

Our young actor also has had a hands-on directing experience as he debuted as a director when he was only 8 years old with a short film titled 'Separate Friends.'
