"The Fresh Prince of Bel Air." "Boyz in the Hood". "Made in America". "Moesha". You could know Nia Long from any number of places, but the 90s is where it really started for the hard-working actor who is as busy today as she ever was.
Nia has been treated well by the passing years and looks as vibrant and beautiful today as she did when we first got to know her in the 90s. She took particular pride in her "Boyz in the Hood" role, saying that it made her realize she didn't have to apologize for who she was or where she was from. In turn, her performances have inspired young girls from similar backgrounds to pursue careers in the arts. When she's not busy in front of the cameras, she campaigns on behalf of PETA and occasionally coaches people as a motivational speaker in Barbados.
