More About our Keynote Speaker Malia Baker
As a fresh face in television and film, actress Malia Baker has quickly become known for her natural instinct in front of the camera and ability to command attention through the characters she brings to life on screen. In her breakout role in Netflix’s hit series The Baby-Sitter’s Club, she brought to life the most relatable character of the nostalgic and beloved book series, Mary Anne Spier, an exceptionally organized and predictable teen on a quest to identity. The series follows five young girls as they form a babysitting business in the town of Stoneybrooke, Connecticut. “The Baby-Sitters Club” turns into much more than simply baby-sitting. The club turns into a place for true sisterhood, exploration of entrepreneurship, and friends turning into family.
Born in Botswana, Baker moved to Vancouver, BC, Canada as a young girl where she discovered her love for musical theatre at the age of three. A few years later, after visiting her father working on set, she became completely enamored by the filmmaking process. She was inspired to pursue acting and has not looked back since. The young star has appeared in ABC’s “A Million Little Things,” CW’s “The Flash,” and Hallmark Channel’s holiday film, “Hope at Christmas.” Up next, Baker will star in Nickelodeon’s horror anthology classic, “Are You Afraid of The Dark?” which will hit airwaves in early 2021.
When Baker is not filming, she is spending time with her family, painting, and dancing. She lives in Vancouver with parents, sister, and two dogs her family rescued two years ago. Baker’s global perspective has been shaped by her experiences as a child in Botswana, fully understanding the need for humanity and compassion. She uses her platform to inspire and empower young girls to use their voices for change and equality.
