From teenage actor to industry bigwig, Reelworld’s (@reelworldfilm) Tonya Williams is a powerhouse (@imtonyawilliams): https://t.co/IrIh643MKs

As someone who divides her time between Toronto and Los Angeles, Williams sees the barriers that still exist for diversity in popular culture. Current events underline this to her.

"I’ve seen shows in Canada with amazing actors in them, but I don’t see anybody saying, let’s grab that person and build an industry around them... That’s money on the table that you’re losing." @ReelWorldFilm's @imtonyawilliams tells @amuredda
