The star is also an advocate for the Black Lives Matter movement; being biracial and experiencing racism herself as the actress is said to be mistreated by the CW.

The short movie is chilling and creative and revolves around an actress who is interrupted by a crazy stalker fan while she is recording a self-tape on video at her place.
