Precocious, generous and inquisitive, M’ma-Syrai is sixty pounds of
sensation waiting for the world to know her name.  Practically growing
up in the limelight at the Lula Washington Dance Theatre (where the namesake calls her “The Professor”), M’ma-Syrai has taken her next big step
towards becoming a household name.

Audiences, directors and casting agents have hailed Mma-Syrai as
“brilliant,” “charming” and “entertaining.” Mma-Syrai brings her
unique combination of wit, whimsy and intelligence to her work as an
actress/dancer/artist.

Originally from Los Angeles, this young talent has appeared in a
commercial for Children’s Defense Fund, where she used her sensitivity
and poise to beg viewers not to give up on children. She recently shot a Nokia commercial and she has also done television ads for Toyota, Kraft and Walmart.  Mma-Syrai has also performed in a host of dance recitals and a stage production of “The Wiz,” and is as comfortable on stage at Los Angeles’ Luckman Fine Arts Complex or El Camino College, smiling brightly into the bright lights, as she is in her own colorfully decorated bedroom.

Mma-Syrai’s early training as a performer began with tap and hip-hop
dance classes at Lula Washington Dance Theatre. She recently joined the youngest Shakespeare troupe in the country, Los Angeles Drama Club. Her fascination with storytelling quickly translated into her imaginative writing, dinner theatre performances and training at the Acting Spot in Los Angeles.  She’s received training in ballet, tap, African and hip hop dance styles, as well as receiving instruction in voice, gymnastics and piano.  ”I like a chance to do new things,” she said simply.

M’ma-Syrai’s no slouch in the academic department, winning admission into three prestigious west Los Angeles private schools based on her ”take no prisoners” attitude towards her scholastic life and the effervescence of her personality.

Despite the savvy she shows at such a young age, M’ma-Syrai remains a sweet and unspoiled personality.  Supported by parents who encourage but don’t push her, she’s decided for herself that expressing herself as an entertainer is what she wants, and she’s ecstatic to work towards her dreams.
