Having traveled across America and to 24 counties as the first-ever UN Youth Champion, I’m inspired by the desire of young people everywhere to make the world a better place. At GimmeMo’, our goal is to build a global community of enlightened young people — those who wish to be the change they wish to see in the world, to borrow a phrase from Gandhi — and to raise awareness surrounding some of the biggest challenges that Millennials face both in the U.S. and around the world.

My character, Taylor McKessie, is a little bit brighter in the math and science department than I am... okay, a lot.

I'm good in the kitchen. I can cook seafood, collard greens, black-eyed peas.

In case of emergency, do whatever your best friends tell you to do!

I look like a child - and I love it!

As an African American actress there are people who have been staples in my life that opened a door that I can walk through. I hope that I can have that impact.

I love the idea that somebody is going to compare me to my character or think that I am like my character when they see me. I feel like that is a role that I am willing to fulfill.
