star Mena Massoud has launched his own charitable foundation to give the industry's diverse talent pool essential tools to jumpstart Hollywood careers.. His upstart, Ethnically Diverse Artists Foundation, aims to support talented artists from underrepresented groups, starting in his native Canada before eventually setting up in Los Angeles.
"In the industry, artists of of color struggle the most.
