Aerial Washington

Born and bred in Las Vegas—yeah, the city that never really chills out—Aerial pretty much had “entertainer” stamped on her from the get-go. Not your average Vegas kid either. While most people just hit the Strip, she was busy flipping through cheer routines, glamming it up in pageants, busting moves in dance classes, and then swapping all that glitter for drama club scripts and choir harmonies. Oh, and if that wasn’t enough, she’s got a podcasting streak too. Guess you could say she’s never really been one to sit still. Fast forward to 2009, she packs up and heads for L.A.—because where else do you go when you want to actually make all that stage time count? Since landing in the City of Angels, Aerial’s hustled both in front of the camera and behind it, grinding away to carve out a spot for herself in the acting world. She’s no amateur either; she’s been sharpening her craft at the Anthony Gilardi Acting Studio, hitting those master classes like she’s prepping for an acting Olympics. And when she’s not acting, she’s co-hosting not just one, but two podcasts: Codependent Podcast and Awkwardly Social Podcast. Safe to say, Aerial’s not about to fade quietly into the background—she’s just getting started, and honestly, she’s not the type you’ll forget.
