Persia White was born on October 25, 1972, in Miami, Florida, but was raised in the Bahamas. Her first major role was of Denise Williams in the show 'Breaker High' in 1997. She also played Lynn Searcy in the sitcom 'Girlfriends.' Exotic-looking performer Persia White -- a multi-hyphenate who straddles roles as an actress, singer, songwriter, musician, and film producer -- began life in 1976, ensconced by semi-impoverished trappings, but delivered herself into a successful career as an artist via raw talent and determination. White debuted on television in 1996, with a role on NYPD Blue, segued into telemovies under the aegis of Robert Allan Ackerman with the same year's prime-time feature drama Suddenly (starring Kirstie Alley), and appeared in Charles Band's quirky 1999 horror picture Blood Dolls. Meanwhile, White co-authored songs with such notables as Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go's and Gary Wallis of Pink Floyd, and formed her own indie rock band, XEO3. White also starred in the long-running hit series Girlfriends (2000) as Lynn.Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
