Sonequa grew up with her sister and three older half-sisters in her hometown; from an early age, Sonequa wanted to become a psychologist, but her desire changed when she was 16 years old, on the stage of a high school production.
After matriculation, Sonequa enrolled at the University of Alabama, from which she earned a degree in theatre in 2007. Her career actually started two years prior her graduation, when she was cast in the role of Coco Delight in the film “Not Quite Right”. From there, Sonequa appeared in the TV series “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” in 2008, and the same year also featured in the thriller film “Blind Thoughts”. Her first notable role came in 2009 when she was chosen for the recurring part of Courtney Wells in the TV drama series “The Good Wife” (2009-2011). The same year, she starred in the drama film “Toe to Toe”, which only increased her net worth.
She continued with TV roles; in 2012 she was chosen for the part of Sasha Williams in the TV drama series “The Walking Dead” (2012-2017), which significantly increased her net worth, and in 2013 she was Tamara in the TV fantasy adventure series “Once Upon a Time”. While on the set of “The Walking Dead”, Sasha wasn’t generally in search of new acting engagements, and it wasn’t until recently that she recorded any new role worth mentioning.
That being said, Sonequa was chosen for the part of Michael Burnham in the TV sci-fi adventure series “Star Trek: Discovery” (2017-2018), which is a prequel to the previous installment of the series, further increasing her net worth.
When it comes to her personal life, Sonequa has been married to actor Kenric Green since 2010, therefore her last name of Green. They met at the McCarter Theater while both starring in “Fetch Clay, Make Man”, and after they started a relationship moved to New York City. However, to really launch their respective careers, the couple moved to Los Angeles, California in 2012, where they have lived ever since. The couple has a boy Kenric Justin Green II, born in 2015. She was pregnant while shooting the third season of the award-winning series “The Walking Dead”, but managed to professionally cover her condition by using larger guns, and thick layers of clothing.

I was on track to change my name. In college, I was dead set on it. I was going to change it to Sonè or something [laughs]. But my mentor at the time, Seth Panitch, who teaches at UA [the University of Alabama], said, 'No! Don't do that. You should keep it. That's you.' I said OK and I never thought about it again.

I have stage combat training from college, which is drastically different than fighting for the screen, but I do enjoy that kind of stuff.
