KATJA STEWART

Was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. At the age of 13 moved to Dallas, Texas where she stayed until her high school graduation. Never forgetting her dreams of being an entertainer, Katja returned to New York and started going out on auditions. Initially, she first began by modeling. Malcolm X had always been one of Katja’s favorite movies and is the movie that pushed her into acting. Deeply moved by the performance of Denzel Washington she was inspired to do the same thing for other people. Following her heart she signed up for acting classes at Shiek Studio and credits this to being the best decision of her life. Finally finding her purpose and calling she has consistently been in class learning, growing and working on perfecting her craft. Most recently Katja was lead in Unrequited Love. A film written by her and directed by Shiek Mahmud-Bey that is currently being submitted into festivals. In the near future she is looking forward to getting representation and doing a lot more film and television. Katja is also currently writing her first feature film.
