Early life

Amandla Stenberg, born in Los Angeles, California, is the child of Karen Brailsford, an African-American spiritual counselor and writer, and Tom Stenberg, who is Danish.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] She has Greenlandic Inuit ancestry through her paternal grandmother, Ena Stenberg, who was from Greenland during Danish colonial rule. Ena Stenberg moved to Denmark before the end of colonialism in Greenland. She was a radio personality and singer in Denmark who performed with a group called Mik that sang at the World’s Fair in New York in 1964. Ena Stenberg was associated with the Danish colonial community in Greenland before moving to Denmark.^[6]^[7] Stenberg has two older half-sisters on her father's side.^[8]^[9]

Her first name means "power" or "strength" in the South African languages of IsiXhosa and Zulu.^[10] At age four, Stenberg started doing catalog modeling shoots for Disney.^[1] She has appeared in commercials for clients such as Boeing and Kmart.^[11]^[12]

Career

2011–2016: Early roles

In 2011, she appeared in her first feature film, Colombiana, as a younger version of Zoe Saldana's character.^[13] Her breakthrough came at the age of 14, when she was cast as Rue in the 2012 film The Hunger Games.^[14] The film was a critical and financial success,^[15]^[16] and Stenberg's performance was praised. She received a number of awards and nominations, including a Black Reel Award nomination.^[17] In 2013, she was cast in the short film Mercy playing the daughter of Robin Thicke and Paula Patton; Thicke directed the film.^[18]^[19] Stenberg had a recurring role on season one of Sleepy Hollow from 2013 to 2014.^[20]

In 2013, Stenberg began performing on the violin and singing harmonies at Los Angeles venues with singer-songwriter Zander Hawley.

In 2016, Stenberg appeared in Beyoncé: Lemonade by Beyoncé,^[28] and won the BET YoungStars Award.^[29] In the same year, she signed with The Society, a modelling agency.^[30] Also in 2016, Stenberg had auditioned for the role of Shuri in the superhero film Black Panther, however, she walked away because she felt that she was not right for the role. She told Variety magazine in 2018: "It was so exhilarating to see it fulfilled by people who should have been a part of it and who deserved it and who were right for it. I just wasn't."^[31]^[32] The role was instead given to actress Letitia Wright.

The film was received positively,^[38] and Stenberg received critical acclaim for her performance, with the magazine Rolling Stone writing "It is impossible to over-praise Stenberg's incandescent performance, a gathering storm that grows in ferocity and feeling with each scene."^[38] The film's director, George Tillman Jr., wrote that "She has this ability to make you feel like you're seeing the real deal, which comes from a level of dedication to the material that's rare at any age."^[39] She earned several awards and nominations for the role, which include winning an NAACP Image Award and being nominated for a Critics' Choice Award.^[40]^[41] In late 2018, Stenberg starred in Amma Asante's World War II drama Where Hands Touch.^[42]^[43]

2021-present: Star Wars

In 2021, Stenberg was cast in the main role for the Star Wars series The Acolyte.^[48]^[49] On August 28, 2024, she shared via Instagram Stories that the cancellation of the show was "not a huge shock to [her]" due to the "hyper-conservative bigotry and vitriol, prejudice, hatred and hateful language" it received from Star Wars fans.^[50] In May 2023, she was announced as part of the voice cast of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse as Margo Kess / Spider-Byte.^[51]

Personal life

In 2016, Stenberg announced via Instagram that she would be studying filmmaking at New York University Tisch School of the Arts.^[52]^[53]^[54] She ultimately decided against attending the school, as she found herself booking jobs, and instead chose to continue with her acting career.^[55]^[56]^[57]^[58]

In January 2016, Stenberg came out as bisexual^[59]^[60]^[61] though she subsequently stated that pansexual was an accurate term as well.^[62] That March, Stenberg came out as non-binary,^[63]^[64] and uses both she/her and they/them pronouns.^[65]^[66] In June 2018, in an interview with Wonderland magazine, she came out as gay.^[67]^[68]

On October 6, 2018, Teen Vogue published an op-ed Stenberg had written for the magazine, in which she shared that she experienced two separate counts of sexual assault.^[69]

From early 2018 to late 2018, Stenberg dated singer Mikaela Mullaney Straus, better known by her stage name King Princess.^[70] In a July 2017 interview, Stenberg said she had stopped using a smartphone, believing that such devices and social media can have a negative effect on mental health.^[71] From 2018 to 2020, she was in a relationship with singer-songwriter Lindsey Jordan.^[72]^[73]

In October 2023, Stenberg signed the Artists4Ceasefire open letter to Joe Biden, President of the United States, calling for a ceasefire of the Israeli bombardment of Gaza.^[83]
