Biography
About Erika Alexander
Erika Alexander, born in Winslow, Arizona on November 19, 1969, has built a career that spans over four decades as an actress, activist, entrepreneur, creator, producer, and director. She is best known for her iconic roles: Maxine Shaw on Living Single, Detective Latoya in Get Out, Perenna in Black Lightning, and Linda Diggs in Wu-Tang: An American Saga. With a height of 5'6", black hair, brown eyes, and a natural C cup, she presents a classic American beauty, her Black heritage and straight orientation adding to her distinctive public persona.
Beyond acting, Erika co-founded Color Farm Media, a company that develops and produces content across film, television, streaming, and podcasts. The company's latest release is the documentary John Lewis: Good Trouble, distributed by Magnolia Pictures, Participant, and CNN Films. They are also producing two podcasts with Spotify and have several scripted projects in development, including an untitled horror/thriller that Erika wrote for Lionsgate. She co-wrote the Buffy spin-off graphic novel Giles with Joss Whedon and Dark Horse, and collaborated on the award-winning sci-fi series Concrete Park. Currently, she is co-directing a documentary about reparations with filmmaker Whitney Dow.
Erika's activism is as prominent as her art. As a board member of VoteRunLead and One Fair Wage, she champions equity and inclusion in media, technology, and politics. Her mission is clear: to bring greater representation to these fields, a goal she pursues with relentless energy.
She remains active, with over 714k followers on Instagram, and continues to inspire through her multifaceted work, all while keeping her natural beauty and authenticity at the forefront. Her journey from a small Arizona town to Hollywood and beyond is a testament to her talent and determination, though she would likely say she's just getting started.
