SHORT BIO:

She is a TV actress, Broadway performer, dancer, singer, songwriter, author, entrepreneur, mentor, motivational speaker, tourism ambassador, historian, research, educator, movement instructor, nutrition/weight loss coach, wellness expert, and a preserver of the African-American experience within the fabric of America’s history. She is one of, if not “the only” African-American and female medicine hunters in the United States.

As she continues in the fight to eradicate America’s obesity epidemic through her Zuleana clean eating protocol, Zuleana® Nutrition, Zuleana® Fitness and Aqua Zuleana®, Cee Cee has decided to dedicate the rest of her life to researching natural medicine and completing Zuleana® Book 2 and 3 of her Zuleana® Wellness Book Trilogy. She will continue researching, educating, publishing, distributing, and performing oratorical presentations of the rich narratives of our African-American historical legends and their contributions. The untold stories…hidden Black history. She believes understanding the plight of hundreds of Black hidden figures of history will expand our perspective, subconsciously heal our personal and cultural esteem, and enrich our connection to one another. It is her desire to bring people together and that every person gets the opportunity to experience a quality of life full of authenticity, prosperity, joy and great health. Cee Cee is married to the love of her life, Wilbert, and they have been happily married for eleven years.

FULL BIO:
Cee Cee Michaela was born in Hickory, North Carolina and was raised by her single mother who worked three jobs and was very intentional about grooming all four of her girls for greatness. Cee Cee’s absence of her father cultivated an even deeper respect for her mother and a personal desire to greatly succeed. Cee Cee started reading at three and 1/2 years old. She starred in her first movie at the age of nine. By the time she was twelve, she was singing in four octaves and four languages. Ms. Michaela graduated High school as a North Carolina Scholar and at seventeen, she received one of the most prestigious scholarships to the North Carolina School of the Arts double majoring in Dance and Classical Voice. At twenty-one years old, she landed her dream role of Viola and was blessed with the opportunity to play Gregory Hine’s little sister on BROADWAY in Jelly’s Last Jam, where she sang and tap danced for 550 performances right beside Gregory Hines, Ben Vereen, and Phylicia Rashad. She is a graduate of the Boston Conservatory of Music in which her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Musical Theater was FedExed to her stage door as she had already landed on Broadway before she completed her last two months of college.
She also starred in the Broadway hit, Smokey Joe’s Café, as well as several television shows such as All My Children, The Fresh Prince, Chicago Hope, The Steve Harvey Show, and Strong Medicine executive produced by Whoopi Goldberg. She is probably BEST known for her character of (Yvonne), the police officer and William’s Fiancée, on the nationally syndicated hit comedy “GIRLFRIENDS”, executive produced by Kelsey Grammer. She played the role of (SIMONE) in the movie, “HAIR SHOW”, starring along with Mo’Nique executive produced by Magic Johnson and she has been seen on TBN’s “PRAISE THE LORD” on numerous occasions sharing her testimony of God’s grace, power, and protection as she walked away from Hollywood for “HOLY”WOOD. She has been ministering to girls and women ever since! Cee Cee is also a Voice Over Artist and has provided the voices behind some of Hollywood’s best movies such as “FAT ALBERT” and the movie, RAY, the film about the legendary Ray Charles.
At 18 years of age, Cee Cee copyrighted her first song. She has an Inspirational CD, which she wrote, arranged, and produced that was #6 on the Gospel Charts in Europe! She is the sole owner of all of her master rights and publishing. All of her compositions are registered with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) along with other legendary songwriters such as Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson. Cee Cee has scored some of America’s top TV shows such as Party of Five. One of Cee Cee’s songs, Harriet, has received over 1 million views on You Tube!
Cee Cee’s CD, Everybody’s Talkin’, received a rave review (Larry Flick) from Billboard Magazine. Two of her top hits, Corrupt and Harriet, are currently streaming on all major platforms. She is the owner of several businesses: Driven By a Vision Records, Michaela’s Creativity Studio LLC., Zuleana Weight Loss & Nutrition and she recently became a certified Tourism Ambassador – which all function successfully despite the fact that she spends over half of her time away from the office conducting empowerment workshops with life-changing messages to teenagers and adults.

In 2015, she wrote her first children’s book entitled The Adventures of Zoe Greene which led to her launching of The Zoe Greene Performing Arts Company. As Cee Cee lands in different cities, she holds auditions, chooses fifteen adorable girls and then trains this special group of girls in various art disciplines which include: acting, singing, dancing, fitness, and etiquette. All of which are part of her Zoe Greene Initiative (a national enrichment program for girls and boys advocating literacy, health, achievement, leadership, and offers strategies in the fight against childhood obesity).
Cee Cee is currently on tour with her very own NATURAL HEALTH concept called Zuleana® (ZOO-LEAN-AH). It is a clean-eating, weight loss, and disease prevention protocol that includes: nutrition education, holistic remedies, and African dance/cardio fitness. It’s a new lifestyle consisting of nutrient-dense, clean-eating, and fat burning techniques, which is helping thousands of women lose massive amounts of weight and eradicate many diseases. For instance, her recent Zuleana case study repeatedly shows that a prescription of Metformin can be eradicated in just 14-30 days after being on her Zuleana clean eating system! Her creation of Zuleana African Dance Cardio was inspired by her Bob Fosse Broadway training, tribal Zulu dance, which she learned when she performed with the legendary 5-time Grammy award winning, South African all-male choir, Ladysmith Black Mambazo at the Kennedy Center. Zuleana Dance includes moves from West and North Africa. In 2020, Cee Cee added “movement in water” to her wellness brand and created Aqua Zuleana. It’s a fabulous low impact easy-on- the-joints water workout using resistance gloves, bands and a pool noodle. The body toning results are amazing. Her “water moves” are unique and athletic and are inspired by Jackie Robinson, Misty Copeland and Kobe Bryant.

Cee Cee – INTERVIEW ON NBC CHANNEL 2 – CEE CEE GOES ON HER 13TH PLANTATION RESEARCH EXPLORATION
McLeod Plantation in Chareston, SC
Laura Smith of Channel 2 captured the story of Cee Cee’s rigorous, hands-on research of several Charleston plantations for her on-going Hidden History Theatrical Presentations and upcoming 50 Enslaved Hidden History Icons book- a collection of speeches, monologues, and poems. Cee Cee was focusing on the architecture of the homes and the surrounding nature and work conditions that affected the enslaved workers such as sea island cotton, golden rice, indigo, and rice field diseases such as trench foot. It is Cee Cee’s hope to bring more understanding to the resilence level and contributions of African-Americans, the disparity due to the development of racism, and the urgent need for historical healing. As an accomplished actress and speaker, she realizes that this is a message not only for America, but important insights that must be taken to the INTERNATIONAL STAGES of theaters, museums, universities, conferences, salons, and creative and critical thinker talks and symposiums.
