Siriboe has been getting attention from the ladies ever since made his debut on OWN’s Queen Sugar series in 2016. He also starred as a love interest in the popular movie Girls Trip that hit theaters last summer.
He has never steered away from saluting African-American women in interviews.
“My love of Black women comes with a responsibility,” said Siriboe in an interview. “How am I actually going to transition that into work and rehabilitation for Black women? It’s not just a good topic. It’s not a cool headline. I actually have some real things I’m putting into place that represent that conversation that I think is necessary.”
For now, he’s starring in Ava Duvernay’s show on Oprah Winfrey’s network. He’s pointed out that it's a win-win.
