Faiven is an Eritrean-American actress and model.
Faiven was a part of the highly-esteemed NBCUniversal Page Program at 30 Rockefeller Center where she worked on The Dr. Oz Show, Weekend Today, and MSNBC.
With performance skills that range from effortless teleprompter reads to natural comedic timing, Faiven has found success in a number of projects on both stage and screen. Her credits include Entangled, The Equalizer, New Amsterdam and her Off-Broadway debut in The Bigot.
As a model, her signature afro appears in beauty and hair campaigns for Mizani, Dark and Lovely, Shea Moisture and Olay.
Also with her marketing degree from the University of Connecticut, Faiven is passionate about the importance of receiving a solid education. Her continuing self-study led her to dive into effective money management which later became a core tenet of her lifestyle.
Now, part of Faiven’s mission is to demystify debt repayment, retirement, and brokerage accounts for the average actor and low-income earner so that the creative community can be empowered to bridge the gap between making art and building wealth. She was a volunteer tutor for Highway to High School and is now a mentor for Off The Lane, a non-profit organization in New York City that moderates her free Wealth Building For Any Income class.
