While Sistas is Obsidian’s most known work, she has also been involved in multiple other well-known productions, including Tough Love (2015-2018), If Beale Street Could Talk (2018), Wu Tang: An American Saga (2019), and Hunters (2020).
And on top of her professional work, the actress is also passionate about philanthropic efforts.
She was named an IRC Ambassador and has taken initiatives to help and support refugees.
Obsidian shared what got her into helping others with 1883 Magazine.
I’ve always been someone who is constantly questioning my community. Even when I was younger, just being from another daughter of an immigrant family… what I learned is that a lot of who I am is always wondering how I can be of use to something bigger than myself.
Her parents' connection to refugees and circumstances aren't the only thing that drives Obsidian to help others.
She started learning about herself and her community from a young age and says working with IRC has given on opportunities to learn while bringing positive changes to many lives.
