Sofia Bryant
Sofia Bryant stars as Dina in the Netflix series ‘I Am Not Okay With This.’ The show, which is now streaming on Netflix, follows a teenage girl named Sydney who’s navigating the trials and tribulations of high school, all while dealing with the complexities of her family, her budding sexuality, and mysterious superpowers just beginning to awaken deep within her. The series is from director/EP of ‘The End of the F***ing World’ Jonathan Entwistle and the producers of ‘Stranger Things.’ It’s based on the Charles Forsman graphic novel. Sofia stars alongside Sophia Lillis, Wyatt Oleff, Richard Ellis, and Kathleen Rose Perkins. The season ended with Brad (Richard Ellis) outing Sydney (Sophia Lillis) at the school dance. As he’s about to reveal she has superpowers, Sydney makes his head explode. Yes, really. Dina is standing there in shock in the final moments of the episode.
