Straight out of East New York, Brooklyn and Jamaica, Queens this Filipina/Jamaican honey is just getting warmed up. The rising starlet got her start with the CityKids Repertory performing for Jasmine Guy, Robin Williams and the list goes on. At the Black Spectrum Theatre, her lead performance in A Trip To Nowhere contributed to the Audelco Award for Best Ensemble. In the footsteps of Denzel, she's studied at the Negro Ensemble Company. Also, the American Theater of Harlem and Atlantic Acting School.

As a dancer, Chyna has performed for Salt n Pepa, Lord Tariq n Peter Gunz, and MTV's The Grind. A leader, she takes the matters of our innercity youth very seriously.
