Growing up, Sheaun dreamed of a sports career and artist and even founded a rap group, 3 in Da Clip, with his high school friends. He considered becoming a chef when he felt that he couldn’t be a star athlete.

Fortunately, when reading A Raisin in the Sun in class, his grade school teacher identified his natural talent as an actor. He took drama classes in high school, encouraged by his teacher, and sharpened his culinary abilities with his grandmother and parents.

Upon his mother’s suggestion, McKinney auditioned for the school’s theatre play. It was a fresh and exciting opportunity for him to be cast and perform on stage. His performance was sufficient to receive him a theater scholarship and become the campus theater club’s president.

Political Opinion

Sheaun appears to be a supporter of Democrats. In the recent US Presidential Election, Sheaun’s expressed his support towards Democrats by posting this on his Instagram.

Change is happening. Character, morals, ethics, and humanity matters. Those attributes have been absent in America for 4yrs. People were literally voting for their lives, and you can simply see those who were disproportionately affected by Trump. It doesn’t matter if you are Democrat, Republican, Independent but it does absolutely matter if you lack humanity, morals and compassion bcuz we have seen what this country has factually done to it’s own people.

Because you aren’t affected by injustice doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist and certainly doesn’t mean it’s not your problem. We took steps forward today, we truly did. Kamala Harris is the 1st female Vice President and Women and Black people had to fight and die to be able to vote, we owe it to those who took on that fight and still are to move forward. God Bless us all. The idea and concept of “America” could be beautiful if it’s ALL inclusive.
