Shani Pride is a visionary storyteller whose work lives at the intersection of creativity and impact. With over two decades in the entertainment industry, she brings a bold, emotionally resonant voice to everything she creates—across film, television, and digital platforms.

​

Pride is currently in pre-production on With Love, Me—a deeply personal feature film set in Italy that explores themes of grief, self-love, and creative rebirth. She is also developing Brownsville Redemption, a raw and powerful television series she created and wrote that examines equity, access, and resilience within underserved Black and Brown communities.

​

On screen, Pride has delivered compelling performances in acclaimed shows such as CSI: Miami, Weeds, and American Horror Story, while also starring in award-winning independent films and co-starring in major studio projects. Her versatility extends to commercial work and voiceover, with a global portfolio that spans two decades.

 

Today, Pride’s storytelling expands into purpose-led brand collaborations—crafting short-form cinematic content with brands that align with her values. Through these partnerships, she creates moving visual narratives that encourage audiences to pause, reconnect, and reawaken their power.

​

Her journey began in theater—first as a student at the prestigious Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (LACHSA), and later at UCLA’s renowned Theater School. Classically trained and deeply rooted in craft, she has studied with master teachers across Los Angeles, New York, London, and Italy.

​

Shani Pride is driven by a singular mission: to tell stories that don’t just entertain—but awaken, inspire, and transform. Through every frame and every word, she invites others to feel deeply, think boldly, and remember who they are.
