The Actor Reel The section where you can see some of my works on video with sound, rather than stills and silence! 2023 African Amercan Show

Who in the world is Sunjiata? Being me is… something to say the least. I truthfully couldn’t describe myself, cause I’m finding myself to be a multitude of things. In this present moment though, I could say that I’m different. When I look at a TV screen, It’s not often I get to see someone that I really feel like is me. I've grown up never being into the same things as my peers around me. I loved different music that you'd find in games, watching lots of anime and cartoons, and just being in my own world a lot. My feeling of difference from the rest of the world is something I have always used as a motivator in my life to make sure I achieve the life it is I want to live. When I think of what it is I want to do with my life, I always tend to be unsure. Whenever I see something I enjoy, I find that I am daydreaming about myself in that position. In my life there was always so much I wanted to do from such a wide variety of things I had taught myself. Some of these things include drawing, piano/music making, cooking, and the one we all know as theater. Originally these just started out as hobbies, things I just did because I found them fun, but as time moved on I ended up getting better at each of these. And along with age, I only started to think more and more about these skills and which one would best help my future. ​ As my life has progressed I have attainted many skills for my personal life and my work life. Some of these include acting, drawing, piano, cooking, and so much more. I have experienced my own taste of major success and failures inside and outside of school, all of which I believe have been pivotal to helping me mature as a person. In order to kick start my road to the greatest success for myself, I believe that acting is my best bet to get me started in life, and to also help my other skills get out there and be seen by the world!

The drawing Section In my life, another skill I have gained is the ability to draw! My work ranges from simple stills, to full fledged comic pages. It's also one of my favorites to do when working as well. Take a look!
