Actress Antoinette Mia Pettis is a multi-talented entertainer now living and working in Hollywood, California by way of Texas.
Although she does not know much of her own ethnic background, Antoinette’s fondest childhood memories were formed around the time spent in a Guyanese household. In those important developing years, she identified herself as the unofficial daughter of a strong West Indian family. Antoinette’s physical appearance allows her to perform diverse roles. Exposure to the wide variety of Guyanese cultural experiences (from African, Portuguese, Chinese and East Indian influences) enhanced the foundations of her acting talent. The long dance lessons taught by Auntie Mickey in the family living room was the birthplace of Antoinette’s “riddim” which she was able to showcase at cultural events.
