Boyce appeared on Disney XD and Disney Channel’s Be Inspired short film series to talk about his grandmother, Jo Ann Boyce, who was one of the “Clinton 12” according to People.

The publication reports that in 1956, two years after the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Brown v.

Jo Ann was one of those teenagers.

“My Nana stuck up for what she believed in and did something amazing,” Cameron told the publication. “Things are going to happen in your life and you’re going to face adversity, but if you grow from that and learn from that, you’re a better person because of it.”

Teen Vogue reported that Cameron is biracial and that his mother is of Jewish descent.

“There’s a lot of people in Hollywood who don’t look like me or don’t have similar features like me,” Cameron told Teen Vogue. “When it’s a lead [role], it’s very hard to come by. We sort of are working to change that. That is something that is important to everyone of color, a minority. It’s very important for people not only see in Hollywood and feel represented but also sort of even the playing field a bit.”
