As an actress, America gifted us with Ugly Betty and a character that redefined beauty and success. While she continues to act, the avid Hillary Clinton supporter decided to make changes of her own after “feeling really despondent” following the 2016 election.
The 33-year-old, alongside her husband Ryan Piers Williams and actor Wilmer Valderrama, created Harness. It’s an organization that wants to change the current narrative around social issues by bringing community leaders of color together with Hollywood producers to tell stories that matter. Talk about being the change you want to see in the world. America is taking no prisoners.
