TV’s First Black Lesbian Superhero!

The critically acclaimed and groundbreaking series features the first black super hero family on network TV and has been described as not only “powerful” and “fresh,” but a series that has a “strong sense of identity” too. “Black Lightning” centers around the Pierce family led by patriarch ‘Jefferson Pierce’ (Cress Williams, “Hart of Dixie”), a man wrestling with a secret. Choosing to help his city without using his superpowers, he watched his daughters ‘Anissa’ (Nafessa Williams) and ‘Jennifer’ (China Anne McClain, DESCENDANTS) grow into strong young women, who now nearly a decade later, are beginning to realize they have super powers of their own.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Williams has always had an affinity for acting. She started her career as a hair and beauty model with guru Nick Chavez showcasing his products.  At the same time, Williams was also juggling school at West Chester University where she graduated and intended to pursue a degree in law.  After working in the homicide department for the D.A.’s office she realized law was not her path. Williams began to grow her skills and started taking acting classes with Tasha Smith and Susan Batson (Nicole Kidman), and those classes would soon pay off as she booked her first professional job in 201, starring in Meek Mills’ hood noir feature film STREETS. From there she began booking role after role on hit TV series “Code Black,” ‘Survivor’s Remorse,” “One Life to Live,” and “Real Husbands of Hollywood.” Most recently, Williams had a recurring role in Showtime’s revival of “Twin Peaks” and a co-starring role in the Netflix film BURNING SANDS opposite Alfre Woodard which was nominated for Sundance Film Festivals ‘2017 Grand Journey Prize.’

When Williams is not filming, she loves staying in shape physically and mentally through running, toning, and meditation. Williams believes that everyone should live their purpose and hosts the “VIP Happy Hour” (YouTube) with her friends where they inspire and motivate women to live the #girlboss life that is destined for them. Beyond inspiring women, she also gives back to the community through The Beatrice Foundation where she feeds the homeless on Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles.
