When Dominique Fishback was first offered a role on the Prime Video series Swarm, she said no — and after talking to co-creator Donald Glover, she wound up with the lead instead. That's just one of many ways, she tells David Canfield, that she's betting on herself these days.

He tells Rebecca Ford about the role's impact on his life, and the surreal awards season that has already followed.
