Dallas, TX--October 30--Fox and Lifetime actress Naima Imani Lett is all too familiar with the schism between Hollywood and Christianity.  Recognizing the need to bridge the gap, she has embarked on a mission to bring light to a place that many Christians frown upon by reaching out to actors and actresses with a unique style of relationship-based ministry that promises to change hearts in Hollywood.

"Christians are called to be light in the world,” says Lett.  “For me as an actress, that means I am committed to portraying truth and telling stories that impact lives as well as give hope in an industry that can wear actors down very quickly. Can you imagine being judged every day based primarily on your physical attributes and how bankable those attributes are perceived to be? Or being overlooked for roles because you may not have the 'right' connections?" asks Lett.

"Believe me, there is enough hurt, frustration and rejection for actors to experience without the body of Christ piling on more. I invite followers of the faith to join me in uplifting, encouraging and reaching out to as many artists as we possibly can. God has called each of us to walk with Him wherever He plants us," Lett explains, "It just so happens He’s planted me with some of Hollywood’s finest, so rather than judge them, I have chosen to build relationships and exemplify God's love.""
