About Yaya DaCosta

Yaya DaCosta Biography

Yaya DaCosta is an actress and model. At the age of 11, her acting tutor, Ann Ratray, sent her to her first audition. She continued to enjoy theatre while in college, and after earning a BA in Africana Studies and International Relations from Brown University, she happened to come second on the popular reality competition America's Next Top Model. A half-Japanese, half-Brazilian policewoman who helped DaCosta and the other participants out of a tricky legal problem during the program's trip to Japan gained her friendship because of her proficiency in Portuguese, which eventually saved that season of the show. DaCosta was signed by Ford Modeling Agency after America's Next Top Model. She soon made the switch from modeling to acting, playing with Antonio Banderas in Take the Lead, Danny Glover in Honeydripper, Woody Harrelson in The Messanger, and Charles Dutton in Racing for Time, earning her a nomination for an NAACP Image Award. Additionally, DaCosta has appeared repeatedly on the soap opera All My Children. DaCosta also became a member of The Signature Theater Company. The New York Times praised DaCosta's performance in their production of The First Breeze of Summer, describing her as "sharp and beautifully convincing... in a delightful New York debut." DaCosta is an advocate for human rights and a fan of the African diaspora off-screen. DaCosta encourages kids to become global citizens through her work with international groups like "charity: water" and Women for Women International as well as in her home in Harlem, where she volunteers to teach Spanish and French to youngsters at a Montessori school. Due to her extensive expertise, DaCosta is a fantastic and captivating keynote speaker on a variety of themes, including women's concerns, diversity, and many more.
