Collider has an interview with Persia White.

Here is an excerpt:

What was your reaction when you found out that your character was going to be turned into a vampire?

WHITE: I am so loving being on this show. It’s been really fun. The vampire thing is just so wonderful. The witch thing was cool, but the vampire thing is the next level ‘cause I don’t see black female vampires. I think Aaliyah was the last time I saw that. I was like, “Why can’t that happen?” So, when they said that it was, I was ecstatic. As a vampire, she’s lost her witch powers, but I got to do some witch work first. I always think it’s fun to be enchanted in spells. There’s a cool supernatural nature there. But, vampire is the next level. I feel good about it.

Here is an excerpt:

Abby and Bonnie aren’t done developing their relationship:
“It’s exciting to see the relationship develop,” Persia says. “And, yeah, there’s a lot in store!”

Abby’s history is definitely a part of the bigger picture…:
“The beautiful thing with The Vampire Diaries,” Persia says, “is that when you learn someone’s history, you get more of an overview of everything. Everybody’s history is coming into play: with Abby, you’ll see that she’s a key factor in the show, and I think it’s just really kind of exciting to see her character grow.”
