South Carolina Actress in the Spotlight: Meet Court Monae



Meet Court, a dynamic talent hailing from South Carolina, who is making her mark in the worlds of finance and acting. Balancing her career in stocks with her passion for performance. Court exemplifies the spirit of a modern-day multifaceted artist. For the past four years, she has immersed herself  in the independent film industry, traveling frequently to meet directors, producers, and attend casting calls. Her journey is driven by a deep love for storytelling and a desire to elevate women's voices in the industry.


The Spark That Ignited Her Acting Passion

As a child, her dreams evolved from wanting to be a police officer to yearning for a place on television. While she has dabbled in various talents—like doing lashes, nails, and even running a small childcare business—nothing quite compares to the rush she feels when she steps in front of a camera. Acting  is an opportunity to explore different facets of humanity, embodying diverse characters and experiencing life through their eyes.



Embracing the Unfamiliar

Diving into new roles can be daunting, especially when she’s pushed outside of her comfort zone. Her approach? She immerses herself in the character’s situation and asks, “What would I do if this were my real life?” This technique helps her connect deeply with the character and brings authenticity to her performances. Whether it's navigating a personal crisis or confronting societal issues, she strives to portray emotions that resonate with audiences.



Advocating for Women’s Stories

Court is particularly passionate about pursuing roles that resonate with women. “Women are the most underrated people in the world, and a lot of them go unheard,” she asserts. This drive to amplify women’s voices is evident in her choice of projects, as she seeks stories that reflect the complexities and strengths of female experiences. By advocating for these narratives, she hopes to inspire other women to embrace their stories and find empowerment in their voices.




Navigating Challenges

The journey in the acting industry is not without its hurdles. “The biggest challenge I face is not being heard or seen.” Court stated. The competitive nature of the field demands resilience and tenacity. Yet, her mantra rings clear: Don’t give up because tomorrow just might be your day.” With every rejection, she finds motivation to push harder, believing that perseverance is the key to success. For Court, the only way forward is up.


Future Aspirations

Looking ahead, Court dreams of establishing herself firmly in the acting world. “I want to be settled in the acting world as I dream of,” she says, envisioning a future where her talents are recognized and celebrated. Beyond her professional aspirations, she also finds joy in traveling and connecting with nature, although she admits, “I don’t like dogs. One too many bad experiences."


In an industry that often tests one's resolve, Court remains steadfast in her pursuit of passion and purpose. With her determination and vibrant spirit, she is undoubtedly a rising star to watch. Court journey reminds us that the path to success is rarely a straight line. It is filled with twists, turns, and lessons that shape us into who we are meant to be.
