Biography
In the “Wednesday” series about the Addams family, one of the central characters was a young dark-skinned actress whose last name, like that of the title character (Wednesday is Wednesday), means one of the days of the week (Sunday) in English. The name of the rising star of American cinema, Joy Sunday, translates to “joy.”
Childhood and adolescence
The future actress was born April 17, 1995 in a family of natives from Nigeria, who lived in New York City’s boro Staten Island. The actress, whose full name is Joy Okon Sunday, has a brother Victor.
Little is known about Joy’s early biography. The girl received her artistic education at the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, located in Manhattan, near Lincoln Center. In addition, Sunday graduated cum laude from the School of Motion Picture Arts with a degree in Film Criticism.
Films
Early in her film career, Joy starred in several short films, one of which bore her name and dealt with the situation of black girls in Donald Trump-era America. At the age of 23, Sanday made her mark in one episode of the detective-drama saga “New Agent MacGyver.” That was also the artist’s contribution to the sitcom “Dear White People.”
In the full-length drama “The Hangout,” Joy created the image of Sophia. The film received an R rating due to sexual content, profanity, smoking and drug use in the frame.
Personal Life
Joy does not seek to flaunt her personal life. It is known that the actress is single and her height is 170 cm.
