Biography
Always playing pretend and finding comfort in her imagination, Navia Robinson began pursuing the performing arts at just age 5. At the age of 6, Robinson's acting career began and her dreams came to fruition, as she starred as Mary Jane Paul's (Gabrielle Union) niece, D'Asia, in the hit BET Network drama, "Being Mary Jane."
In early 2016, Nicki Minaj hand-picked Navia, much to her delight, to portray Tasha, Nicki's childhood best friend, for a pilot/ordered series revolving around her life growing up in Queens, NY entitled, "Nicki," which was shot for ABC's Freeform Network.
Shortly after, Robinson's passion took her to the United Kingdom where she starred as Rosie in Netflix's Emmy® Award-winning series, "Free Rein." Once she returned to the United States, she appeared in The CW's critically acclaimed "Vampire Diaries" as Janie.
Perhaps, Navia Robinson is most recognized as Nia Baxter, Raven Baxter's (Raven Symone) smart and socially conscious teenage daughter, in Disney Channel's live-action comedy, "Raven's Home," a spin-off of the iconic comedy series, "That's So Raven."
Robinson is also the voice of endeared characters Zayla, daughter of Invisibilio and Shocktress in Marvel's "Marvel Rising: Playing With Fire" and Valkyrie in Disney's animated series, "Rocketeers."
