Artistry.  Beauty.  Passion.  Faith.  Can It All Possibly Fit In One Package?

Edwina Findley makes it happen.  Perhaps best known for her role as Tosha Mitchell, Omar’s gun-toting sidekick on HBO’s “The Wire”, the NYU alumna has recently rejoined The Wire’s creative team for the new HBO pilot, “Treme”, set in post-Katrina New Orleans. She has also joined the cast of George Lucas’ upcoming film, Red Tails about the historic Tuskegee Airman, alongside acting notables Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Terrance Howard.

A quickly rising star, Edwina has performed in eight countries, sung in seven languages and has appeared in such popular television shows as Law and Order, One Life to Live, HBO’s The Wire, New Amsterdam, and Fox’s Blue Blood (directed by Brett Ratner). Theatrically, she has graced both Off-Broadway and regional stages, and her fascinating ability to capture the human experience has been hailed by critics as "Powerful", "Vibrant", "Stunning", and a "Marvel to Watch".

The multi-talented twenty-something is a native of Washington, D.C., where she began singing at age two. By age three, she had memorized and performed an entire chapter of the Psalms at church, and her parents quickly realized she was no ordinary child. They soon enrolled her in drama, piano, dance, and any other activity they believed would nurture the special gifts and talents of their child.

Edwina went on to graduate from the renowned Duke Ellington School of the Arts, and joined the ranks of fellow alumni Denyce Graves and Dave Chappelle. From there she attended New York University, where her work was distinguished by the Outstanding Artist and Scholar Award, Founder’s Day Award, Dean’s List, and induction into the Tisch University Scholars Program.
