Navia Robinson

ACTOR

Robinson, who first made a name for herself in the hit BET drama “Being Mary Jane,” is having a big year thanks to two very successful television shows. She stars as Nia, Raven’s smart and socially-conscious 11-year-old daughter, in Disney Channel’s series “Raven’s Home,” a spin-off from the iconic sitcom “That’s So Raven.” She can also be seen in the Netflix Emmy award-winning series “Free Rein,” with the second season now streaming. “They’re two completely different roles that have helped teach me so much as an actor,” she says. “My dream is to play a protagonist in a Marvel film.”
