My Take
Mekia Cox is one of those dependable, charismatic presences who quietly elevates every ensemble she joins. With a dance background and Florida State theatre training, she moves with a poise that reads well on screen, and her run as Tiana on Once Upon a Time gave the character real warmth and dignity. I have enjoyed watching her settle into Chicago Med, where she gets to play competence and heart at once. She is a working actor in the best sense, steadily building a substantial body of television without chasing hype, and I suspect her best, most central role is still ahead.
