The ABC sitcom "Fresh Off The Boat" is no stranger to tackling diverse topics. The show touches on everything from immigration to diversity, and now, it's tackling the issue of coming out. Luna Blaise stars as Nicole in the hit show. Nicole comes out to her best friend Eddie at a time when coming out wasn't as accepted as it is now. Inspired by her character, Blaise is partnering with the media organization GLAAD as an ally to help people struggling with coming out of the closet. Blaise isn't just an actress. She's also a recording artist. Blaise released her first single "Over You" in 2017. Now, she's going on her first nationwide tour. Blaise gives Cheddar a look at what to expect from her next.
