“I’ve been blessed so far with so many things and I wanna thank God for that of course; and, its just an exciting and fun process to get to express myself with the world,” she told EURweb.

In the mini series “Roots,” Saniyya played young Kizzy in part 2. That particular role highlighted the challenges Kizzy faced as a child in terms of being involved with an interracial friendship with the slave master daughter. Before acting out the role, she watched the original “Roots” movie written by Alex Haley to get into character. When asked if she felt any pressure from her first televised role, her response was, “No! Not at all!”

“I feel like she was happy! Even though she was a slave and all, she still tried to find her happy place everyday,” Miss Saniyya added. “She had a best friend that she would stick with even though it doesn’t matter what color you are. Don’t judge a book by its cover you’re still best friends no matter what.”

Pretty soon we will be seeing her play one of Taraji P. Henson’s daughters in the movie “Hidden Figures” as well as the daughter of Denzel Washington and Viola Davis in “Fences,” which will both be in theaters December 26. Saniyya shared the wonderful time she had playing Henson and Washington’s daughter in both films. Both opportunities taught her a lot and encouraged her to let go and have fun. Here’s what she had to say about her experience with Taraji P. Henson.

“She  really taught me a lot. How to be fun and let your energy out, and not to be nervous.”
