In the interview Davis spoke about her visit to Africa and the insecurities facing some countries on the continent.
She said we had become numb to the African tragedy because: “No one is educating us about Boko Haram and the atrocities in Africa, the focus is usually on the Middle East and the gun violence here in America.”
“The key is you do more when you know more”, the actress added.
