OURTOWN AMBASSADOR PROGRAM (7).jpg

Actor Siaka Massaquoi entered Hollywood with big dreams. However, after witnessing racism firsthand and seeing colleagues lose roles because of their skin color, he began to ask questions.

​

While Massaquoi viewed Hollywood as the most racist experience of his life, he says if there would be a call to action for anyone in Hollywood, just ask yourself what really matters in your heart. “We have a chance to be  different and if you don’t, you’re going to have to live with that for the rest of your life. You have a chance today, let’s do it.”
