You Have to Follow ‘Hollywood’ Actress Laura Harrier
From Spiderman: Homecoming to Ryan Murphy’s Hollywood, Laura Harrier is a star on the rise that you don’t want to miss.
Beginning in the entertainment industry at the age of 17, Laura Harrier started as a model. In the past couple of years, however, she changed her career, enrolling in William Esper Studio to study acting.
Shortly after, in 2014, she made her film debut in The Last Five Years. You probably know her from her breakout role in Spiderman: Homecoming, where Harrier played Liz, Peter Parker’s love interest!
Since then, Harrier has starred in numerous films, such as BlacKkKlansman and Balance, Not Symmetry. She also appeared in Netflix’s Hollywood as an up-and-coming actress Camille Washington.

A fashion icon and talented actress, Harrier is also an outspoken activist. A supporter of intersectional feminism, Harrier often uses her platform to discuss inequalities regarding gender and race, as well as showing her support for organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Planned Parenthood. As part of the #MeToo Movement, Harrier was also one of the 300 original signatories for the Time’s Up letter.
Recently, Harrier has shown her support for the Black Lives Matter movement. Over the past couple of weeks, Black Lives Matter protests have been sparking worldwide after the death of George Floyd, a Black man killed by law enforcers in Minneapolis, MN. Using her Instagram, Harrier has dedicated her voice to promoting resources to protesters, sharing organizations that need donations, asking fans to vote, and demanding justice for victims like Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
Harrier is both a remarkable actress and an incredible activist, and, hopefully soon, she’ll be able to merge the two together. “I think that we have a responsibility as artists to be a lens to the world and talk about these things,” she shared with Tidal Magazine. “That’s what I aspire to do—I want to make people think about something differently, or start a conversation, or ask more questions.”
