​​​​Olivia Nkómi is an LA based screenwriter, actress and poet.

​

She consulted on David Scarpa’s script for Napoleon, leading to a mentorship and her signing with Gersh.

She is currently developing Poppy Bonaparte, a subversive biopic about Napoleon's nymphomaniac sister.
​

Olivia spent her childhood and teenage years in South Korea, Gabon, Great Britain, South Africa, and France, following her father, who served as an ambassador.

​

She earned an MA in Governance and Public Policy, summa cum laude, from the University of Sheffield, before shifting from public affairs to pursue her passion.​

​

Before developing Poppy Bonaparte, Olivia wrote psychological thrillers exploring generational trauma, often laced with dark humor. She co-wrote and starred in the Canal+ thriller Mami Wata, and began her career writing comedy for family audiences.

 

Her acting repertoire includes performances in both English and French, in  419, Fastlife, and Mami Wata.​
