Actor and singer Christopher Jefferson recently spoke to our Editor-in-Chief Eric K. Thomas about supporting Black Lives Matter, first learning about his fate at the end of the first season of American Soul and more.
I wanted to be in the field. I had so much built-up frustration and anger. I've been in situations like that before. I just felt like I needed to get out there and express that hurt, that pain. Especially when I have people following me. I want to show them that it's okay to walk the walk instead of just talking the talk.
