Summary: Since her first on-screen job co-hosting BET’s Mad Sports, Shelli has appeared in over 17 films, over a dozen national and international commercials, print campaigns, radio spots, web series and several hit television shows including Grey’s Anatomy, Hot In Cleveland, House MD, Entourage, and Tyler Perry’s House of Payne. One of her most notable roles was as series regular Evan Reed in Saints and Sinners, a primetime drama on FOX’s My Network TV. She was nominated for an NAACP Best Actress Award for her stage portrayal of Dorothy Dandridge in Dorothy and Otto and she also embodied the vivacious Josephine Baker in When Divas Were Divas. Last year, Shelli wrote, produced and directed a one-woman show titled Out West:Women of the Plains, which she toured nationally. One of her most recent films, Out The Gate, is now playing at AMC Theaters in New York City. The musically based movie is sure to be a Jamaican cult classic. Shelli is excited and blessed to be branching out in her career with plans to write, produce, direct and act for many years to come. She is premiering a new play about women in prison called The Cell Block Seven at this year's DC Black Theater Festival in June.
