She told Los Angeles Sentinel that back in , a Californian proposition was raised to do away with affirmative action; hence she was asked to speak against that initiative. Her work attracted the SAG; therefore she joined the committee, and she said that is when she found her voice in speaking against discrimination.

However, racial discrimination was not new to the actress. Although she said that Silver Lake has a very different reputation currently, when she was growing up, it was still not a very friendly place. In , a woman claimed that she and her friends were escorted out of a local restaurant, Hyperion Public, because they were screaming too loudly and offending the rest of the guests.

According to the claimant, they were the only people of color hence the conclusion that it was a discrimination case. Anne-Marie added that now even the LGBT community is being discriminated against; they are forced to move out of the neighborhood, especially if they did not buy homes. To her, the racism is something she is accustomed to since she grew up in Silver Lake, and her family experienced discrimination in every sense of the word.

Still, that did not stop her father from becoming an active member of the Silver Lake community. It is that childhood experience that saw the actress also become an activist. Her fight for justice paid off, and in , she became the first Black vice president of The Screen Actors Guild, and in her last letter as the vice president, Anne-Marie said that she knew some people would be happy that she was leaving.

However, she does not regret holding the position since her four terms in office were the most rewarding yet challenging moments in her professional life. Even though she retired from SAG as the vice-president, Anne-Marie is still very active in speaking out against those who are racist. However, she asked him to take a break from using the word and learn its history since he clearly did not understand the significance. She added that despite his use of the word, she knew Bill would not face any repercussions, which must be a disappointment to the actress who is against such racial slurs.

The actress is also not ready to venture into anything else apart from acting despite her age. She knows that once you are past a certain age, especially as a woman, being considered for a role is hard. The funny thing is that she had auditioned for a recurring guest role, but she ended up being booked for a main cast role, Lt.

As she told Tell-Take TV , Anne-Marie auditions all the time but that was the second time she had booked a character that she had not auditioned for, and it meant a lot.

She did not even read the entire script to know she would accept the role because, with a father who was a cop, she could not pass on the opportunity to play a policewoman.
