PROFILE INTERVIEW | From One American Icon To The White House, for Saniyya Sidney this is only the beginning.

  • Chelsea Mtada

Saniyya Sidney speaks to GUAP about her portrayal as Venus Williams in Golden Globe Award Winning Motion Picture “King Richard”. Saniyya Sidney has become a treasured fixture in some of Hollywood’s most iconic films to come out in the last few years. From appearing in the Roots as Kizzy Walker at just ten years old to her work in American Horror Story: Roanoke, Fences and Hidden Figures. It was no surprise that Sidney’s next move would be stepping into the role of one of the most iconic figures in sports in the 21st century. King Richard produced by the tennis champions; Serena and Venus Williams as well as their sister Isha Price focuses on how their Father, Richard Williams (played by Will Smith) and Mother, Oracene Williams (played by Aunjuane Ellis) trained their daughters into becoming worldwide champions from their humble beginning in the late 90s of Compton, Los Angeles.
