Golden Globe Ambassador 2019 Isan Elba Promises To Erase Mental Health Stigmas

Congrats to Isan Elba who was just named the 2019 Golden Globe Ambassador!

The 16-year-old daughter of actor Idris Elba and makeup artist Kim Elba, was announced in the new role during HFPA and InStyle’s Press Conference held at The Henry on Wednesday night (November 14) in Los Angeles.

During the event, Isan spoke about the honor.

“I feel honored to hold this title and use this role to not only further educate people on the work of the HFPA, but also shine a light on issues that I care about,” she shared, whose duties also include aligning herself with a nonprofit organization to raise awareness about a social issue of her choosing.

Isan added, “Mental health, specifically among African Americans and my peers in particular, is something I really want to be more vocal about. There’s this perceived stigma and I’ve seen friends struggle. We need to empower young people to not be afraid to ask for help.”
