Désiré Mia hails from Hanover, Germany, where his passion for athletic and artistic performance was first cultivated. Born to an African father and German mother, Désiré was raised in a bicultural, multi-lingual (fluent in English, French, and German) household that fostered global citizenship. Discovered as a teen on Instagram in 2017, Désiré found representation with the world's leading modeling agencies, landing campaigns for iconic fashion brands like Tom Ford, Ralph Lauren, Hermès, and Lacoste. Désiré garnered visibility through his artful and impactful social media presence, coupling countless hours dedicated to Taekwondo, Futsal (recruited by Germany's Hanover 96, professional soccer club), and acting (trained at IDSA in London), launching his acting debut in the lead role as Sagan Bruno in the Netflix/Blumhouse martial arts drama, "Absolute Dominion."
At ten years old, Fanny Price was sent from her impoverished Portsmouth family to live with her wealthy aunt and uncle, the Bertrams, at Mansfield, their Connecticut estate. Now twenty, she is still — by design — the poor relation. Too grateful to object, too observant not to see everything, too principled to pretend. When the glamorous Crawford siblings arrive and the entire Bertram family begins to unravel under their influence, Fanny is the only one watching clearly. Edmund Bertram, the one cousin who has always treated her as a person, is falling for the brilliant, faithless Mary Crawford. Fanny is going to have to decide whether constancy is a virtue or just a wound she has learned to call one.
