Victoria Monai Richards

Victoria Monai Richards was born and raised in Charlotte, NC. Her mother is American and her father is Panamanian American. Her love for acting presented at a very early age; she had her first agent by nine and attended the Festival de Cannes with her older brother, who narrated a short film, The Chair, that was Nominated, Palme d'Or - Best Short Film, in 2012. She continued to act in local theaters and school plays, but turned her focus to academics and sports until settling on Track & Field. She attended Charlotte Christian until she was recruited by IMG Academy, for Track&Field, in Bradenton, FL. In 2020, her freshman year as a student-athlete at the University of Arizona, was cut short with the breakout of the Covid-19 pandemic.

After returning home, she decided to go completely online for her university studies and refocus on her first love - Acting. By the end of 2021, she had acted in over 21 projects and landed a recurring role on Issa Rae's Rap Shit!

Victoria relocated to Los Angeles in 2022 where she co-wrote her first comedic feature film, Tricked and Treated, with her mother and creative partner Sherrie Richards. She directed, starred in, and produced said film alongside a great team that included her mother, brother, sister-in-law, and a host of others. Against all odds, this first time writer, director, and producer was able to get SAG approval during the historical strike in 2023, film for 21 days beginning on 9/11/23, and have the privilege of providing jobs to so many in need. What started as a dream, became a destiny of unimaginable proportions that can only be classified as a miracle from in high.....To God be the Glory!
