Honored to join Hamilton on Broadway. As a proud first-generation Ethiopian-American, Lencia graduated from Occidental College, majoring in Diplomacy & World Affairs and minoring in Politics. Last year, she made history as the first full-time Black Elphaba in Wicked on Broadway. Previously, she spent five transformative years touring with Hamilton (Angelica Schuyler, previously Woman 5), touring nationally and internationally with Rent (Joanne), and singing backup for Beyoncé Knowles Carter. Grateful is an understatement.
