Naya Rivera was a positive force in Hollywood before her heartbreaking disappearance and death at age 33.“I remember Naya really wanted to use her platform and her voice for the good, whether it was for anti-bullying, for equal rights, for women of color, she wanted to use this role to help talk about a bigger message,” Zack Teperman, Rivera’s former publicist, told Us Weekly exclusively on Monday, July 13. “She was ahead of her time.”Teperman, now the owner and president of ZTPR, worked with the Glee alum from 2009 to 2013 at Lexicon Public Relations.
