Edwina Findley 1920 1080 Alyshia Ochse

Edwina Findley Dickerson is an award-winning film, television, and theatre actress.  This year, Edwina can be seen starring opposite Uzo Aduba, Giancarlo Esposito, and Randall Park in Netflix’s upcoming murder mystery series, “The Residence.” Executive produced by Shonda Rhimes and set in The White House, the show revolves around the most disastrous (and deadly) state dinner in history. Edwina shines as Sheila Cannon, the fast-talking, and hilariously flawed White House Butler. “The Residence” premiered on Netflix March 20, 2025. As a newly minted author, Edwina will release her debut book entitled “The World Is Waiting For You” (HarperOne),a faith-full and laugh out loud guide to manifesting your “God Dream” and creating the life you’ve always wanted, this fall.  With a foreword by Academy Award winning actress Viola Davis, the book shares Edwina’s hard-won wisdom regarding unleashing and manifesting your highest vision, discovering, and surrendering to God’s plan, strategically preparing for the life you are praying for, and bravely igniting your gifts and talents to change the world. “The World Is Waiting For You” will be available in bookstores nationwide and online September 9, 2025. She garnered critical attention for her role as “Rosie” in director Ava Duvernay’s Sundance award-winning feature “Middle of Nowhere,” and earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Supporting Female for her “skin prickling performance” as “Melva Neddy” in Jake Mahaffy’s “Free In Deed.”  Comedically, Edwina turned heads as Kevin Hart’s wife, ‘Rita’ in the Warner Bros’ hit comedy “Get Hard” with Will Ferrell and in HBO’s iconic White House comedy “Veep”.  She made her prime-time debut as ‘Tosha Mitchell’ on HBO’s critically acclaimed series “The Wire,” and since has starred in projects such as “The Power” opposite Toni Collette for Amazon, “Rogue Agent,” “Oh Baby Baby,” “If Loving You is Wrong,” “Fear The Walking Dead,” “Chicago Med,” “Black Lightning,” & HBO’s “Treme”.
