Sierra Capri

Sierra Capri (born September 8, 1998) is an American actress. She is known for starring in the Netflix series On My Block as Monse Finnie.

Early life Capri was born and raised in Baltimore and moved to Georgia when she was 12. She was interested in acting from a young age. She promised her parents she would graduate from college before pursuing the career full-time.

While working on Hidden Figures, she submitted audition tapes with the help of another actress on set, and auditioned for the Netflix original series On My Block. The show received critical acclaim, with the ensemble cast being praised for their performances. Capri is not Afro-Latina, but said in an interview with Remezcla that she can relate to Monse "in the sense that I’m multicultural and growing up I didn’t know that I wasn’t that accepted by either side."

In 2019, Capri starred as Kai in the indie film American Skin, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September 2019. It was received negatively by critics. In the same year, she was invited to be a part of a re-creation of the historic photograph "A Great Day in Harlem" by Art Kane, organized by the Strong Black Lead division of Netflix.

Personal life Capri enjoys biology and would like to pursue a career in forensics while continuing acting.
