AFROPOLiTAiN - Megalyn Echikunwoke

We sat down with the über talented actress at The AllBright West Hollywood. Echikunwoke was recently featured in a powerful documentary, celebrating the female voice, LA Woman Rising, directed by Nana Ghana and executive produced by Rosario Dawson. While the actress was supporting Ghana, we caught up with her to have an in-depth conversation about her work, how she chooses roles and what really moves her.

We found out that Echikunwoke has not only continued to soar as an actress and performer, but she also ran the New York City Marathon in an impressive four hours and twenty two minutes to support Amref Health Africa. With a brand new show on FOX, Almost Family, Echikunwoke is a huge advocate for complex women characters that allow the feminine spirit to come alive.

In Megalyn Echikunwoke's own words, 'Viva AFROPOLiTAiN.'
