Trina Colette McGee, formerly known as Trina McGee-Davis, is an American actress, best known for her portrayal of Angela Moore in the ABC TV sitcom Boy Meets World.[1][2][3] Her character's interracial relationship with Rider Strong's character Shawn Hunter was a relative rarity for a major network television show, especially one whose target demographic was youths.

She expressed her personal wish that her character's relationship would serve as an example of colorblindness for the world.[4]
