About Me

NYC-based actress, poet, filmmaker
Sadé (Sha-day) Unique Grandberry is an NYC-based actress, writer, poet from Newark, NJ. Her parents wanted her to be a doctor, but she decided to study Theater & Journalism instead. After graduating magna cum laude from Rutgers University, she tried getting a "real job," but quickly realized acting was more real to her.

Having recently re-discovered her passion for poetry and writing, she has been steadily working on producing her first visual poetry album, as well as films starring the complex female characters she loves to play.

Please feel free to contact her for all booking inquiries.
