- Biography
Capri was born and raised in Baltimore and moved to Georgia when she was 12. She was interested in acting from a young age. She promised her parents she would graduate from college before pursuing the career full-time.
She never studied acting. As a college student studying biology at college in Savannah, Georgia, she took jobs as an uncredited extra in the 2016 films Hidden Figures and Neighbors 2.
While working on Hidden Figures, she submitted audition tapes with the help of another actress on set, and auditioned for the Netflix original series On My Block. Capri told Terroir in 2018: "I was preparing myself for anything at that point, it didnβt really hit me until one of the casting directors emailed me and said, we like you, do you have time tomorrow to FaceTime one of the producers? And that turned out to be Lauren Iungerich, who is the creator of the show." After accepting the lead role of Monse Finnie, an Afro-Latina teenager, Capri left college to film the show. The show received critical acclaim, with the ensemble cast being praised for their performances. Capri is not Afro-Latina, but said in an interview with Remezcla that she can relate to Monse "in the sense that Iβm multicultural and growing up I didnβt know that I wasnβt that accepted by either side."
