We are proud to announce Haitian-born Hollywood actress Garcelle Beauvais as our newest official ambassador.
Garcelle joins a host of celebrities and public figures, including the likes of Formula One driver Nicholas Latifi, singer Normani, and TikTok star Holly H, in supporting our mission for a truly inclusive internet where everybody feels free to communicate and express themselves without fear.
Garcelle Beauvais is one of the most recognizable names in Hollywood. She made her acting debut in the hit romantic comedy film "Coming to America," starring Eddie Murphy, and co-starred with Jamie Foxx in the culturally renowned TV series "The Jamie Foxx Show" as Francesca 'Fancy' Monroe.
Over the years, Garcelle has become a prominent actress, playing a host of major roles in blockbuster films from "White House Down" opposite Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx as the First Lady of the United States to "Flight" with Denzel Washington and in Sony's smash hit "Spider-Man: Homecoming" with Tom Holland. She proudly became the first black cast member for the popular Bravo reality TV series "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," which is currently in its 12th season.
I'm thrilled to announce that I will be supporting The Cybersmile Foundation as an ambassador for change. After my own personal experiences with cyberbullying, I realize the importance of lending my voice to the pursuit of ending this detrimental form of online harassment. My focus is to help raise awareness about cyberbullying on a global level. There are so many people, of all ages and backgrounds, who need useful insight and effective tools for dealing with these types of abusive online situations. My goal is to spread the message that kindness and inclusion are what make the world a much safer space.
Garcelle Beauvais, Cybersmile Ambassador
Having personally experienced the first-hand effects of online harassment and abuse, Garcelle is joining us to support our mission for a kinder, more inclusive internet. This won't be the first time Garcelle has used her platform for good, having supported charitable initiatives throughout her career, including a recent humanitarian trip to Haiti, helping to feed over 3,500 children.
Cybersmile is honored to welcome Garcelle as an official ambassador. Her philanthropic work in the entertainment business has empowered generations of women and young girls to realize their full potential. We are confident that together, Cybersmile and Garcelle will make a formidable partnership that will have a profound and far-reaching positive social impact.
