Letitia Michelle Wright is a Guyanese-British actress. Letitia was born in Georgetown, Guyana, and moved to London, England, when she was seven. She grew up in Tottenham. She began her career with guest roles in the television series Top Boy, Coming Up, Chasing Shadows, Humans, Doctor Who, and Black Mirror; for the latter, she received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination.

She is known for her portrayal of Shuri in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, beginning in 2018 with Black Panther (2018) and Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and for the film Urban Hymn (2015).

She counts actresses Keke Palmer and Naomie Harris as major influences while she was growing up, Keke’s Akeelah and the Bee (2006) being a film that made her yearn to become an actress.
