We sit down and speak with actor Tristin Taylor who played in the notable series Snowfall; as he speaks about coming from and environment where black actors were ostracized and breaking that norm and laying the foundation for next generations of young black talent in acting. We also discuss the importance of black representation and creative control and him being around the likes of John Singleton and actors such as Woody McClain. In his journey we also discuss the importance of staying persistent in your passion and the ebs and flows of following your dreams and what it was like along his journey taking risks and betting on himself.
