At only 18 years old, Laila Pruitt is taking Hollywood by storm. Laila currently stars as Nicole Flenory in the Starz hit “BMF,” with a season 3 renewal just announced. She has no plans of slowing down. The Howard University student is balancing school and a blossoming acting career with intention and self-care.
She has plans to direct films. Laila wants to work with Viola Davis, LaKeith Stanfield, and more. I caught up with Laila to discuss how she got her start in acting, working on BMF, her plans for directing, and how she balances it all.
You can catch all-new episodes of “BMF” Fridays on Starz.
