Hey! I’m Naté... an actress, storyteller, and certified Eastside original—straight outta Youngstown, Ohio. I grew up moving around a lot, but what stayed consistent was my love for performing (and my talent for turning any room into a stage). Life gave me a lot of material, and I’ve been using it ever since.
You might’ve seen me on shows like Atlanta (FX), Snowfall (FX), The Vince Staples Show (Netflix), and Abbott Elementary (ABC). And yes, I got to walk away with a SAG Award as part of the Abbott ensemble—which was wild and beautiful and made all those self-tapes in my living room feel worth it.
I trained at AMDA and Identity School of Acting, where I learned the fancy stuff—Stanislavski, Shakespeare, all that good dramatic seasoning. But at the end of the day, I’m just here to tell the truth through characters who feel real. Messy. Funny. Soft. Loud. Human.
My mission? To tell stories that make people feel seen. The ones that heal, inspire, and make you say, “Damn… I needed that.”
