Simone Posey is an actress, known for WOKE: The Pecking Order, Bompton Had a Dream (2020) and Insecure (2016). Simone is  from Prince Georges County, Maryland. “I grew up known as “the tap dancer”. I mean I literally tap danced down the hallways in school, at talent shows, and in every room in the house (including the bathroom). Dance was such a huge part of my life, that when it was time to decide at the age of 17, what I would do with the rest of my life, i.e., college, I choose to major in what I knew best…you guessed it…Dance.”  Simone taught High School Special Education/General Education English for two years in Brooklyn. “ As much as I love my students, I was searching for more in regards to my life and my purpose.”
