AJA NAOMI KING Actress

The Los Angeles native has made herself a familiar face within the comfort of our own homes , honing in the role as Michaela Pratt for hit series , How to Get Away with

Murder . Other than the fact that the star is working with one of the biggest names in showbiz , Ms . Shonda Rhimes , King resonates a resilience with her career background alone . The actress is not new to the industry but has overcome challenges including a few short runs of previous series . Now that King has found her stride , she ’ s simply unstoppable . Let her story just go to prove that persistence pays off . Aja starred in the recent remake Birth of a Nation as Cherry .

When you Google his name for accolades , a

British model pops up . However the name Stephen James , Canadian actor , will be causing a buzz soon enough here in the states . If you didn ’ t watch his latest role as track and field sprinter Jesse Owens in Race , we are almost positive you have noticed him in quite a few other historical remnant films such as
Selma . Other than the big screen , James has grown up from his Degrassi days to take on more conscious and black culture driven roles . We believe one of the things that stands out about James most is his call to action in representation in film . After the Oscars uproar , James creates a refreshing mentality to the cliché facade of red carpets , trailers , and paparazzi . Once again , you ’ ll remember his name by next year for sure as he has been casted as Treston Perry and highly anticipated TV series , Shots Fired .
