Early life

Born and raised in the Bronx, New York, McGee is of Haitian descent.^{[citation needed]} She attended Howard University in Washington, D.C. for a time.^[1]

Career

After appearing in minor film roles and guest-starring in various sitcoms, McGee landed her first recurring TV role as Angela Moore in Boy Meets World in 1997. Angela's interracial relationship with Shawn Hunter (played by Rider Strong, to whom McGee is 10 years senior) was unusual for a major network television show at the time, especially one whose target demographic was teenagers. She once remarked that the typical reaction she received from young fans regarding the relationship was overwhelmingly positive and encouraging, often inquiring as to when the characters might reconcile after a breakup. She expressed her personal wish that the relationship would serve as an example of color blindness for the world.^[2] In 2015 she reprised the role in one episode for the sequel series Girl Meets World.

In June 2020, McGee stated that she experienced racism while starring on Boy Meets World. She stated that the people she had incidents with were Will Friedle and Michael Jacobs. She said that she has since made amends with Friedle.^[3]^[4]
