There is no information regarding Alysia’s early life, except that in school she was keen on acting. Speaking about her career, she made her acting debut with the role of Shanice in ‘’Boyz n the Hood’’, a 1991 teen drama film starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ice Cube. The plot of the film follows the unusual life of Tre Styles with his single mother, and is based on the life of John Singleton, who also wrote the film. ‘’Boyz ‘N the Hood’’ received overwhelmingly positive response from the audience of the Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic and was nominated for numerous awards, most notably for the Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards in 1992, in addition to winning awards such as the award for the Best New Filmmaker at the MTV Movie Award and the Political Film Society in the category of Piece in 1992.
Alysia then had another role, this time in ‘’Class Act’’, a 1992 comedy movie written by Cynthia Friedlob and John Semper and produced by the team of Jean Higgins, Joe Wizan and Maynell Thomas, among others. Its main character, Duncan Pinderhughes was portrayed by Christopher ‘’Kid’’ Reid and once again, Rogers had a minor part in the film, portraying the role of Damita.
However, in an exact opposite reaction to Alysia’s previous movie, ‘’Class Act’’ received a generally negative response but despite this poor reception, became the number seven at the box office, earning a total of over $13 million, adding somewhat to Alysia’s net worth.
Despite having a potentially successful career in the movie world, the actress then decided to leave Hollywood. In one interview, Rogers revealed that she left Hollywood to fully dedicate her time to her daughter, who is now all grown up. However, she made her return 13 years after that, starring as Lynda Merritt in ‘’Beyond Merritt’’, a short film focused on the story of a single mother of four children who develops a cocaine addiction. The movie was based on a real life story, and ended up scoring notably good reviews from critics and the audience.
When it comes to Alysia’s private life, she doesn’t reveal much information regarding her relationship status. However, we know that she was the only parent her daughter had; she has stated how she spent a lot of time ‘’figuring out this motherhood thing and trying to be the best mom’’ in the interview with CiCi Foster, an American producer and actress with the interview being a part of the promotion for ‘’Beyond Merritt’’.
