Khali Spraggins expressed the desire to act at a very young age. Like many, her first acting opportunities were for community theatres and student films, which led her to win a scholarship for Second City Chicago. It was clear that a passion had developed quickly. In 2016, Miss Spraggins' career was taken to the next level when she signed with Big Mouth Talent and Management by Morgan, who rewarded her with a scholarship for on-camera tv & film training. She began booking several commercials as well as starred in the youtube mini-series KHALI'S HOMESCHOOL HIJINX. Her growth attracted the attention of several casting agents, as well as Luber Rocklin Entertainment, an LA-based management company, who has now joined her team of co-representatives. Miss Spraggins recently portrayed YOUNG COOKIE on Fox's hit show EMPIRE. Premiering in 2020, Khali Spraggins will be seen in the supporting role of "Aaliyah," alongside Wanda Sykes and Michael Epps, in Netflix's THE UPSHAWS -- her largest booking to date. Not only is Miss Spraggins an aspiring young actress, but she is looking forward to one day creating her own content, aimed to be written and directed with inspiring messages.
