Sanai Victoria, a 17-year-old American actress, embarked on her career at the tender age of seven. Currently, she can be seen on Disney+'s Diary of a Future President as Melissa and Netflix's No-Good Nick as Tamika.
At the age of 2.5, Sanai began her journey in the performing arts, taking piano, gymnastics, voice, and dance lessons. She continued to excel in these areas and started competing in natural pageants at the age of six, winning several Miss California titles up to the age of eleven.
Shortly after, Sanai decided to test her fate in the acting industry. She booked numerous national commercials, starting with her very first audition.
Within a year of acting, Nickelodeon recognized Sanai's talent and gave her a starring role on the pilot Future Shock, where she played Kylie Parker, a tenacious and wise-beyond-her-years 8-year-old.
Sanai's comedic career took off, and she was soon seen as Vera on ABC's Modern Family and Cousin Diamond on Black-ish. She has also guest-starred on several Disney shows, including Sydney to the Max, Lab Rats Elite Force, Girl Meets World, and Bizaardvark. Her portrayal of Zoe in Lab Rats Elite Force earned her a Young Artist Award nomination and win.
At the age of nine, Sanai had the opportunity to work with Tyler Perry as a series regular on "The Payne's" on the OWN Network.
Sanai's voice has been featured in several animated projects, including Tessa on Little People by Fisher Price on Sprout and Disney's Whisker Haven Tales with the Palace Pets as Treasure. She has also had recurring roles on Vampirina as Phoebe on Disney Junior and Madagascar: A Little Wild as Claire on Hulu.
In addition to her comedic work, Sanai has explored theatrical and dramatic acting. She began her journey as Victoria Whitney in Lifetime's remake of the classic Beaches, opposite Idina Menzel and Nia Long. Sanai has also starred as Lola in the independent feature Summering, directed and produced by James Ponsoldt.
When Sanai is not working, she is a straight-A honor roll student, enrolled in Advanced Placement (AP) college courses at school. She is also a cheer team member and enjoys spending time with her four-legged best friend Sasha Fierce. Sanai is passionate about supporting charities and is currently working on developing her own nonprofit to help foster care youth and the mentally ill.
