Join me for an insightful conversation with actress, producer, and writer Nakia Burrise, best known for her role as the Yellow Ranger on Power Rangers. Beyond the world of entertainment, Nakia shares her core values and how her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ guides her decisions, from choosing roles to navigating the unpredictable landscape of Hollywood.

Nakia opens up about:

  • Putting God first, family second, and career third: Understanding Nakia's priorities and how they influence her choices.
  • Trusting God's path, even when it doesn't make sense: Learn how Nakia relies on faith and acknowledges Him in all ways.
  • The realities of Hollywood: Nakia dispels common misconceptions about fame and fortune in the entertainment industry, sharing personal stories of financial hardship and the importance of having a backup plan.
  • Finding purpose beyond the screen: Discover how Nakia's passion for education led her to become a substitute teacher and start a non-profit organization, "A Day in the Life," to expose underprivileged children to diverse career opportunities.
  • Standing firm in her convictions: Nakia discusses the challenges of staying true to her beliefs in an industry that often pressures individuals to compromise their values.
  • A recent journey in filmmaking: Nakia shares a story on her own production "Back to Bridgewood," where relying on faith, not on her own experience, helped her make the right decisions.

Nakia's story is a reminder to trust in God's plan, even when it surpasses our own understanding.

About Nakia

Nakia was raised in Stockton, California, where her passion for the performing arts began early. While in high school, she auditioned for UCLA's prestigious theater department and was the only African American female freshman accepted out of 50 applicants that year. She landed her first major role as Tanya Sloan, the Yellow Power Ranger, on the hit kids’ TV show "Power Rangers Zeo," appearing in 75 episodes and a feature film. Over her 25+ year career, she has starred in numerous commercials, print ads, movies and television series.

In 2015, she created, co-wrote, and produced 2 seasons of the single camera comedy, Life After Saving the World which was loosely based on her life. This series won the Empire Award in the New York Screenplay Contest and placed in the LAIFFA television and film festival.
