Sarah DeSouza-Coelho
Sarah DeSouza-Coelho? Oh, she’s got hustle in her DNA. Born in Guyana, repping Canada now, and making her mark in Toronto’s film scene—no small feat, let’s be real. She didn’t just waltz through York University’s theatre program and call it a day. Nah. She doubled down, found the city’s best acting coaches, and snagged herself an agent. Before you could blink, she was popping up in award-winning series like Haphead and Tinder the Web Series, plus indie films like Moving Boxes and Brotherhood. Seriously, her resume is kind of wild.
And it’s not just about the roles. Sarah’s face has been everywhere—six national commercials in one year? That’s not luck, that’s pure grind. She even headlined a Movie of the Week that dropped on Lifetime near the end of 2023. But she isn’t just another actor-for-hire. She’s out here writing, producing, and starring in her own projects. Her web series pilot, Back to One, is just the start—she’s got a feature film and a TV pilot in the works, both digging into the layers of her Indo-Caribbean roots.
Sarah’s not shy about pushing for more diversity in the industry, either. She wants to be that role model she didn’t always see growing up, especially for young women from her community. If you’re watching her career, just know—she’s only getting started, and she’s bringing her whole self to every project.
