Anastasia utilizes her platform to educate her audience about topics such as Police Brutality, Eating Disorders, and Color-ism. She incorporates her advocacy into her award-winning shorts including “What are you?” which touches on the struggles of expressing one’s identity as a person of mixed races, and “He Said, She Said” which tackles the topic of sexual assault. Anastasia constantly strives to take on these difficult topics and make the big changes needed through creative expression.

Her work can be seen on-screen in productions such as The Addams Family Movies and Die Hard 2, as well as previous hosting opportunities for WonderCon, San Diego Comic Con, LA Comic Con, Red Carpet Report, and more. She has also modeled for big-name brands such as: Nordstrom, NYDJ, Dickies, Mod Cloth, and Marvel.Throughout the pandemic alone, Anastasia was able to produce, write and star in a one-woman show that played at the Black Voices Festival and Solo Fest called “50 Shades of Mixed: Confessions of your Ethnically Ambiguous Best Friend” and a web series called “Disordered”.

Currently, Anastasia is working on creating more stand-up specials, podcasts, feature films, and a self-help book. With the hopes of furthering the conversation of color-ism, discrimination, and even bring attention to true crime stories. Noting, she is a member of SAG/AFTRA, WIF, and WOC Unite.

This interview rapidly elevated into a conversation as Anastasia pulled back the veil on what makes her tick and discusses issues that are sometimes quite volatile as we’ve witnessed in recent times…you’ll have to tune in to catch the full context of what I’m talking about! She’s funny, intelligent, and pretty damn straight forward which made for a very valuable conversation.
