Sequoia Houston is a television & film actress, philanthropist and entrepreneur. Born in San Francisco, California, Sequoia was a military brat who attended 13 different schools between kindergarten and graduation. She began exploring the arts at an early age and was a member of the children's choir at her church, nearly before she was able to speak. From that time forward, she was hooked. When she entered grade school, she further explored her interests, trying everything from ballet to the violin to the clarinet, the piano and on to school theatrical productions.
For middle school, Sequoia was admitted into the W. E. Greiner Exploratory Arts Academy for piano and voice. It was here that allowed her the opportunity to join the Dallas All-City Honor Choir. It was not until high school, however, that she found her true passion when she auditioned for and was accepted into "the most unique high school in the nation," Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts' (Arts Magnet). A theatre major, she learned everything from set design and construction to mime and movement, Greek and Shakespearian acting, playwriting and beyond. While at Arts Magnet, she was involved in a number of plays both inside and outside of school.
No stranger to life behind the camera, Sequoia received her BA in Media Production from the University of Houston. She put her degree to use by penning and directing the award-winning What Things May Come, a short film that has screened at various film festivals across the United States. She has also worked behind the scenes in various major motion pictures as a script supervisor and in extras casting. While she enjoys all aspects of filmmaking, her first love is acting.
Sequoia lives in Los Angeles, CA and can currently be seen in the web series Shootin' the Sh*t.
