Nzinga Blake

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christine Nzinga Blake is an American/Sierra Leonean actress and writer currently working at Current TV. Blake starred on the TV series Fridays on Cartoon Network, as well as in national television commercials for Sprite and Kinkos. She was named after Nzinga of Ndongo and Matamba, a 17th century queen and folk heroine of the Mbundu people of southwestern Africa.

Blake is a 1999 graduate of Munster High School in Indiana, and a 2003 graduate of UCLA as a Film & Television Major. Her name, Nzinga, is generally pronounced without the leading n, /ziŋa/, in English. On an episode of google current she suggested (arguably jokingly) she'd like someone to modify her Wikipedia entry to state that she would be in an upcoming major motion picture starring opposite Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt.
