Biography

From a very young age, Daniela knew she didn't just want to watch stories; she wanted to be a part of them. Fascinated by actors' ability to convey deep emotions through complex characters, she quickly realized that the screen would be her medium of expression.

Trained between Africa and Canada, Daniela has transformed her passion into a commitment. She stands out for her ability to embody roles rich in nuance, while maintaining a moving accuracy. For her, each shoot is a metamorphosis, each character a mirror of our society, each project an opportunity to make a voice heard, one often ignored.

Thanks to her natural ease in front of the camera and her artistic discipline, she landed several notable roles, notably in the hit series "On the Couch," which she wrote herself, and in "Chez Coco," produced by Tosala Film. But it is in the drama series "Upendo," broadcast on Bell Fibe TV1, that Daniela deploys the full extent of her talent: a captivating presence, between strength and vulnerability, in a profound and engaging story.

Today, Daniela no longer just acts: she directs, writes, produces, and builds bridges. By founding Shining Black, she empowers other Black women to dream, to create, to shine.
