This creative individual began her career as an actress when her brother decided that acting was something that he really wanted to try out. She was very shy as a kid while her brother was quite the opposite; Inaya started acting along with her brother and although her brother has lost interest in it, her love for acting only grew. She described acting as something that helped her express herself as she said, “[Acting] helped me break out of my shell”.
She has chosen acting as a method of exploring her creativity because it allows her to become a character who is totally different from who she is, and she really enjoys when she can act as anyone she wants to be. For aspiring actors or actresses, her advice is “You have to train for acting like you train for a sport. If you stop taking classes and stop practicing, you will become rusty.”
Inaya has been inspired by many women of colour in the acting business as it is difficult to become an actress in the first place, and beyond that, it is even more difficult for a woman of colour. She believes in diversity, and those who fight for it on screen are the ones who truly motivate her.
This talented actress has experience with both theatre and film. Her personal preference is film and TV, as she started acting outside of school where in local TV shows. For example, she was ‘Young Samila’ on the Hallmark show “Signed, Sealed Delivered” and in addition, she was featured on an episode of the Hulu TV show “Shut Eye”.
Inaya will definitely continue her acting career after high school since she is very passionate about acting. She is currently looking at universities with a strong acting department, still deciding whether she is going to major or minor in acting because this is mostly dependent on which school she is accepted to. Whatever route she may take, we sincerely wish her continued success in the future.
