She is best known for her roles in “NCIS: New Orleans,” “The Shield,” and “Avatar” and is taking on another role.
The actress and activist is joining an initiative that connects producers across Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora.
She has joined Caribbean Tales Media Group as a steering group member to spearhead the expansion of the Cross Continental Forum (CCF).
With Pounder’s experience in film and television. the mission is to elevate Caribbean and African storytelling. This is not about Caribbean and African filmmakers trying to break into Hollywood or secure a BBC commission. Instead, it is about building direct pipelines between regions on their own terms, with their intellectual property intact.
CCH Pounder’s involvement brings significant cultural and industry weight to the initiative. Her career exemplifies how Caribbean heritage can translate into global success without compromise, making her a fitting force behind this next phase of the Cross Continental Forum.
