THE POWER OF INFLUENCE
GB: “My platform is for three things: Show people I’m still cute lol… highlight what’s important to me—charities, social justice and injustice, and inspirations and supporting people I love.”
SOUND ADVICE
GB: “Don’t take it personally! As an actor, there would be jobs that I didn’t get! The creators have a vision, and it may be someone else. What’s yours is yours.
“I was raised to treat the janitor with the same respect as the CEO, and I live by that.”
IN REFLECTION

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
