Taylor Hickson Shares What Sets 'Motherland: Fort Salem' Apart From Other Witchcraft Shows

Taylor Hickson, Ashley Nicole Williams and Jessica Sutton get in a group shot while appearing at Build by Yahoo last week!

The three actresses went on the series to chat about their new Freeform show Motherland: Fort Salem.

During their interview, Taylor opened up about how she thinks that their show differs from other shows about witchcraft.

“One thing I think Motherland does so well that no other show seems to shed light on, is just the divinity and the true meaning of what Wiccan culture,” she said.

“I think it’s so demonized. It’s such a misunderstood community, and it’s so much about femininity, and light, and supporting each other. Healing,” Taylor added.
