CHALLENGING ROLES

Parker took on a challenging role in “Chicago P.D.” of a Black cop trying to push for police reform, all within the current political stage where Black issues are rampant. Speaking about this, she expressed:

"She is an insider trying to affect change and she knows what her cops go through."

She once took to Instagram, thanking cops who protected the Capitol when rioters stormed it. She also wrote about a female cop that she once saw de-escalating a situation instead of becoming violent.

Parker and her husband have also begun assisting with a non-profit, creating programs aimed at empowering Black and LatinX businesswomen. They will be doing this in collaboration with Pine-Sol.

The actress is also open to talking to her children about racism. She recalled when she had to take a toy gun away from her son when he was playing outside because of the assumptions cops may make.
