Personal life

Swindell identifies as nonbinary, and uses they/he pronouns. They grew up in Virginia Beach, Virginia and attended high school at the Governor's School for the Arts in Norfolk, Virginia. Swindell was raised by a single father and had difficulty fitting in for reasons of gender and race. Swindell has said that due to not fitting stereotypes about all nonbinary people being androgynous, it has been difficult to find roles acting their self-identified gender. However, Swindell was happy to play a cisgender girl in Trinkets, given that the show explores Black identity, and chimed with their biracial experiences.
