Born in Dallas, Texas and raised amongst 5 sisters and brothers, Zalika Thomas was labeled the entertainer and the tomboy. Zalika was very competitive while growing up and played a variety of sports. At the age of 5 years old, Zalika very convincingly pretended she was dead in the arms of her mother, and the jokes seemed to never stop thereafter. Under the influence of astounded celebrities, she hoped to become a dancer/actress/doctor someday, but it was all in her imagination then.In the mean time, her father (former Dallas Cowboy) discovered she was a fast runner and at the age of 8 years old he began to condition and train her for track and field. Zalika discovered her new passion to be a Track Star. She ran for about six years and stopped inasmuch as the magnet high school she attended didn't offer ANY opportunities for sports.She worked at a well known copy store which would catapult Zalika right into the center of a journey she had imagined as an eight year old. One day, a lady walked into the copy store and suggested that Zalika should model and submit to a local agency in Dallas, Texas and Zalika did. Zalika analyzed the industry and indulged herself and began working as a runway/fashion print model, as well as a full time job and raising her beloved son, King. Later she began taking acting classes and this is where the fun began. Two years later Zalika had a resume full of film work/voiceover/commercial print work as well as Film/TV training and Film/TV workshops. The next step was to get an agent to market her vigorously.As her mother (former English/creative writing school teacher) would always say, Never Give Up, Zalika indeed is not. She hopes to work in major motion films such as, action/sci-fi features as well as other films with roles that empower the audience as well as entertain them. Zalika wears a wonder woman bracelet and hopes for world peace, sisterhood, respect, loyalty. She loves to help people and motivate them to believe in themselves and respect and love themselves and others.
