As a little girl in Dallas, Texas, I always imagined myself on stage. I made my way to Los Angeles, by way of enrolling at the University of Southern California. After dropping out of pre-med, much to the dismay of my Liberian mother, I embarked on a professional dance career, dancing for the likes of Nicki Minaj, Diddy, Shakira, Pit Bull, Miley Cyrus and Chris Brown.

After a quarter life crisis, I retired from dancing to focus on my acting career. Fortunately, acting jobs were few and far in between, and I discovered my love for writing and producing. My first short film, Solely, debuted on Issa Rae’s Youtube channel and  garnered over 90,000 views. 

​

Most recently, I've appeared on Dear Edward (Apple TV), FBI (CBS) and Invasion (Apple TV), as well as A Party to Die For (Tubi) in a supporting lead role. All the while, I've continued to earn my stripes as a producer, producing commercials for Instacart, McDonalds, Microsoft, & Under Armor. My first indie film as a producer, B-Boy Blues (BET), was nominated for a GLAAD award!  

​

No longer a new transplant  to New York, I love over-planning activities for my rambunctious toddler and patient husband. Excited to continue building my production company (Winnienoah Productions), while steadfastly telling stories in front of the camera.
