Ricki Lynée is an award-winning New York City-based actress, writer, and producer. Born and raised in South Side Jamaica Queens by Barbadian immigrants, Ricki (one of five children) figured the best way to stand out from the bunch was to act! She started her artistic training at the age of 12 and began working as an actress professionally at 17 years old and never looked back. Fast forward to today, Ricki is the co-owner and Head of Development at Nuanse Entertainment, a resident artist with New Light Theater Project, and a recipient of the 2021 All Stars Project & Castillo Theater Fellowship for Young Artists of Color. Ricki is a graduate of CUNY Brooklyn College where she studied Theatre and studied acting at HB Studios, AADA, and New Federal Theatre. She officially embraced her passion for filmmaking with the award-winning webseries, “Anthology” produced by Nuanse Entertainment in 2013.
In her free time, Ricki proudly works as a Standardized Patient portraying case studies through simulations, and educating medical students/professionals, while helping to reform the way women of color are perceived and treated throughout the healthcare industry.
As an advocate for diversity in film, theatre, and media, Ricki seeks to inspire younger artists; trailblazing by creating stories and embodying characters that challenge social norms. She is committed to authoring a body of work that prioritizes inclusivity, bold choices, and craftsmanship.
