Dawn-Lyen Gardner is an American actress best known for her lead role in OWN’s Queen Sugar. In the show, Dawn-Lyen plays Charley Bordelon, a single mom and new owned of a 800-acre sugarcane farm in Louisiana. Promoting the show’s season 4 finale, the actress stopped by HollywoodLife.com to talk about what’s next for Charley, especially after her son Micah announced he would not be attending Harvard like everyone had hoped! “This is really a huge test in terms of Micah really branching out on his own, defining himself very much independently from Charley, making his own decisions,” she explained in an EXCLUSIVE interview. “For Charlie, it’s also a moment of her, not just letting go of her son, but of her realizing that all that she’s been dealing with — with the Landry’s and the Bordelon’s — and all that she wants to protect Micah from, are colliding in this moment.”
