Anita Nicole Brown was faced with many dilemmas beginning in 1998. Since birth, she was always a character. Although acting was not her first passion, in time it began to change

On November 12, 1998 Anita was diagnosed a Type One Diabetic and shortly after that she lost the ability to walk due to Diabetic nerve damage. Her doctors said she may or may not ever walk again. So imagine the surprise when she not only walked again; but enrolled and graduated with her BA (concentration in fashion design) from Columbia College Chicago in May 2004.

Upon graduating, she gained her first job in real estate. She spent from 2004-2009 in corporate America. However, during this time, her love for film began to grow. In 2008, she made the decision to research what it would take in order to make it in the world of entertainment (acting). And in 2009, she stepped down from her position and made the choice to pursue acting full time (well, at least while working a part-time job).

Anita has been going full force since she began acting in July 2009. She was excited to land her first BG role in Happily After and after that, things continued to move forward! She landed BG roles on The Chicago Code and Boss. And has also been landing lead and supporting roles for a indie features as well. Not only did she fall in love with acting full force; but she branched off into modeling and ballroom dancing as well! Her desire for modeling sent her to Hollywood three times (Oct. 2009, May 2010 & May 2011).

Although moving at this pace was not easy and became especially hard when she lost her two biggest supporters in less then two years of each other. Anita loss her mother (Wanda Nicholson Brown) January 9, 2011 and she lost her twin brother (Nicholas Andrew Brown) July 1, 2012. Both deaths caused almost crushed Anita's spirit, but it was the spirit of both her mother and brother that pushed her to continue.
