Zuri Adele

With collective liberation at the forefront of her passions, Zuri Adele is most known for her portrayal as Malika on Freeform's Good Trouble. Her lens and artistry are underscored by spirituality, intersectionality, and her commitments to inclusion and wellness. Zuri studied acting at Spelman College, the British American Drama Academy, and UCLA's School of Theater, Film, and Television. She taught acting at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa and UCLA's TFT, and continues to lead yoga, voice workshops, and curated wellness experiences within her communities. Before Good Trouble, Zuri performed with the SITI Company of New York and BADA in London. She established the Zuri Adele Fellowship for HBCU Alumni at UCLA's TFT and the Be Accessible Scholarship at Modo Yoga International, with the intentions of making Master of Fine Arts education and yoga teacher training more accessible to people of acknowledged African descent, and is currently expanding each of these initiatives.
