Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Hakim was raised in a single parent home by her father, along with five brothers. Her passion for acting started at a very early age, fortunately supported by her family.
While in elementary, Hakim also pursued acting and attended Karamu House Theatre to improve her talent. She and her whole family then moved to California so that she could attend other acting schools, the Alexander’s Workshop School in Lakewood, and The Young Actor’s Studio in Burbank. While honing her skills she also started to pursue a professional career.
One of Hakim’s earliest acting gigs started when she appeared in one of the commercials of McDonald’s. Although it was a small role, it was the beginning of her professional career. Hakim was then able to land one of her most memorable roles to date, when in 2005 she became part of the television series “Everybody Loves Chris”, playing the role of Tonya Rock for the entire four seasons of the show. Her character made her a household name across the US, and established her career in Hollywood and her net worth.
The show opened more opportunities for Hakim, and led to plenty of other acting roles, including in “E. R.”, “Wizards of Waverly Place”, “CSI: Crime Scene Investigator”, and “The Replacements”. These various appearances certainly helped raise her net worth.
Aside from television shoes, Hakim was also able to appear in various movies, including “Reign Over Me” with Adam Sandler, “The Hobbit”, “One Angry Juror”, “Cinderella”, and “Chocolate City”. One of her biggest roles to date was when she played the character of Olympian Gabby Douglas in the Lifetime movie “The Gabby Douglas Story”, starring along actors Regina King, Sydney Mikayla and Epatha Merkerson. Her performance in the movie led her to be considered for a 2014 Emmy Award Nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie.
Today, Hakim is still active in Hollywood, with recent appearances in movies such as “Sharknado: The 4th Awakens” and “Chocolate City Vegas”. Aside from acting, she was also named as the official celebrity hair brand ambassador for SPA313 Hair Salon, that also helped her career and wealth.
