Talk about starting the year right!
South African actresses Thuso Mbedu and Nomzamo have been listed on the 2021 “Young Black Hollywood Stars To Watch” list by Essence Magazine.
Essence had this to say about Nomzamo:
Nomzamo Mbatha knows no bounds or limitations. While filming Isibaya, she spent time touring Kenyan refugee camps in her role as an UNHCR Ambassador. It is that level of care and commitment that has made her a sought after star in projects likeTell Me Sweet Something and The Jakes Are Missing. In 2015, she became the first South African to represent Neutrogena and signed a talent management deal with CAA (Creative Artists Agency). Up next, Mbatha will be starring with Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall in Coming 2 America in a role that’s described as being “kept under lock and key”.
And on Thuso Mbedu:
Emmy-nominated Thuso Mbedu is one of the most compelling new faces on television. Her road to perdition began during her teenage years on drama series like Snake Park and Scandal. The sky’s the limit for the early-20-year-old and Mbedu’s reaching for higher heights. She’s set to make her international debut in Barry Jenkins’ The Underground Railroad, which is based on the Colson Whitehead novel of the same name. There’s no doubt that this young phenom will be a force to headline marquee posters in the near future.
Congratulations ladies. Keep flying our flag high.
