Malia Baker
Named one of Seventeen magazine's Voices of the Year in 2020, and Refinery29 Canada's Powerhouses of 2021, actress and activist Malia Baker has quickly become a breakout star in the industry. Botswana-born and Canadian-raised, Malia Baker became most recognizable for her standout performance as Mary Anne Spier in Netflix's award-winning series, "The Baby-Sitter's Club," which debuted in 2020. Baker has also starred in Nickelodeon's reimagined horror anthology classic, "Are You Afraid of The Dark?" Both credits earned her a nomination for Favorite Female TV Star at the 2022 Kids Choice Awards. Previous television credits also include ABC's "A Million Little Things" and CW's "The Flash."
Upon completion of the final season of "The Baby-Sitter's Club," Baker began a breakout year in film, joining as a lead in Lifetime's film "Caught in His Web," executive produced by Whoopi Goldberg, as well as Miramax's dramedy "Harvest Moon," starring alongside industry titans Paul Bettany, Carmen Ejogo, and Candice Bergen, with Mark Waters directing. Most recently, Baker has been busy filming a number of independent feature films which are set to debut during 2023's festival circuit.
When Baker is not filming, she is spending time with her family, immersing herself in her love of music and books, or using her platform to inspire and empower young girls to use their voices for change and equality through her role as an ambassador for the UN initiative, GirlUp.
