Antonia Gentry is an American actress. Her roles include the films Prom Dates and Time Cut , and the show Ginny & Georgia . She is also known as Toni.
Her father is American. Her mother is Jamaican. Antonia has stated :
[Her character Ginny]’s mom is white. My mom is Black, she’s from Jamaica… my mom [has been] someone who I could confide in if I ever felt a certain way about my identity, because she understood, her being a Black woman. Ginny doesn’t really have that with her mom. Georgia tries her best, of course, but there’s always going to be that racial divide. As a biracial person, I learned a lot from playing Ginny. There’s so many different experiences within the multi-racial community.
