Pop Culturalist caught up with this many-faceted talent to learn a little bit more about her.

Symonne began acting at the age of seven.
“I have always loved performing for people. I was signed with a talent agency at the age of seven and I was in my first film project at the age of nine.

Since moving to LA, I have filmed a pilot, performed in a few plays, been in a couple of music videos.”

Symonne has performed at Walt Disney World and was given a limited-edition Walt Disney performer signature pair of ruby red dance shoes!
“I have been dancing since the age of three. I danced competitively from the age of seven through eleven. I was invited to perform at Walt Disney World last year and had the most magical time dancing down Main Street! I treasure my ruby red WDW performer dance shoes!”

Symonne is a gamer.
“I love playing video games. I enjoy playing with my friends on Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and online video games. I also made a Roblox account for my fans so I can play along with them. It’s really fun!”
