Samora Suber was born in New Orleans and raised in Charlotte, NC (by way of Memphis, TN). While transitioning from city to city, Samora's creative outlet began to emerge into the form of acting. She trained and performed with children's theatre companies such as The Afro-American Children's Theatre and the Children's Theatre of Charlotte and also attend Northwest School of the Arts for theatre and dance.

Samora attended Florida A&M University on a theatre scholarship but transferred to the BFA Acting program at Florida State University in her sophomore year.

With a new passion for writing and producing, Samora began focusing her energy into television production. After graduating with honors, she moved to New York City to freelance in production for Networks, Studios and Independent Filmmakers such as BET, FOX, Disney, Cartoon Network, MTV and Layon Gray. Samora was selected by the National Association of Television Program Executives for a Diversity Fellowship and was named "Producer to Watch". Samora earned more accolades for her work including "Best Drama Series" at the LA Web Series Festival and an Honorable Mention at the Urban World Film Festival.

Samora also began to create her own film and theatre experiences through her media company, Awake Spirit Media, which focuses on inspirational content. Samora also continued acting and wrote, directed and performed in local stage plays to keep her love for theatre fresh.

In an effort to bring her passions for acting and media creation to younger generations, Samora partnered with many non-profit organizations and community based organization to provide arts programs that incorporate healing and personal development through the arts. These organizations include: The Harlem Children's Zone, Counseling In Schools National Network and the University of Northern Iowa.

Now, Samora has moved to Los Angeles, CA to further develop her passions in performing and storytelling.
