Sardia Robinson is an award-winning writer, actress, and multi-hyphenate creative with a powerful footprint in theater and film. A graduate of Columbia College Chicago with a BA in Theater, she is a passionate storyteller dedicated to shifting the narrative for Jamaicans in Hollywood. Her work consistently uplifts diverse, complex, and deeply authentic characters across television, film, and the stage.

Born in Jamaica, Sardia began writing and performing skits at just five years old and earned her first professional acting credit on the beloved children’s program Ring Ding with Miss Lou. What started as childhood play grew into a dynamic, decades-long career spanning acting, writing, sketch comedy, theater directing, and producing for both television and film.

Sardia’s artistry has been recognized with numerous honors, including BroadwayWorld’s Best Solo Production and the Innovative Woman in Theater Award at the Hollywood Fringe Festival for her autobiographical solo show, From a Yardie to a Yankee.

From a Yardie to a Yankee is a riveting, one-woman theatrical experience showcasing Sardia’s exceptional storytelling and transformative performance range. Bringing 11 real-life characters to the stage, she retraces her harrowing journey from the violent streets of Kingston, Jamaica, to the dangerous undercurrents of Chicago’s drug trade. The show has moved audiences and critics alike with performances across New York, Atlanta, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, the Bahamas, and Jamaica.

Across every project, Sardia continues to establish herself as a bold and necessary creative force—one committed to championing underrepresented voices and bringing overlooked stories to the forefront of the global conversation.
