In 2019, Letitia had the audience close to tears as she described a low moment when she considered quitting acting, until BAFTA invited her to become part of its Breakthrough Brits program in 2015. Less than 4 years later, she is a global superstar thanks in no small part to her work as Shuri in Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War.
Letitia's breakout role was in Urban Hymn, and she's also starred in a number of British TV shows like Doctor Who, Humans, and Black Mirror, for which she received an Emmy nomination. She also starred in Ready Player One.
