Ena Stenberg moved to Denmark before the end of colonialism in Greenland. She was a radio personality and singer in Denmark who performed with a group called Mik that sang at the World’s Fair in New York in 1964. Ena Stenberg was associated with the Danish colonial community in Greenland before moving to Denmark.[6] [7] Stenberg has two older half-sisters on her father's side.[8] [9]

Her first name means "power" or "strength" in the South African languages of IsiXhosa and Zulu.[10] At age four, Stenberg started doing catalog modeling shoots for Disney. She has appeared in commercials for clients such as Boeing and Kmart.[11] [12]

In 2016, Stenberg appeared in by Beyoncé, and won the BET YoungStars Award.[27] In the same year, she signed with The Society, a modelling agency.[28] Also in 2016, Stenberg had auditioned for the role of Shuri in the superhero film Black Panther, however, she walked away because she felt that she was not right for the role. She told Variety magazine in 2018: "It was so exhilarating to see it fulfilled by people who should have been a part of it and who deserved it and who were right for it. I just wasn't."[29] [30] The role was instead given to actress Letitia Wright.

2017–present: career progression

In 2017, Stenberg and Sebastian Jones released Niobe: She is Death, the second part of the trilogy.[31] In the same year, she starred in the romantic drama Everything, Everything, directed by Stella Meghie,[32] [33] and co-starring Nick Robinson.

The film was received positively,[36] and Stenberg received critical acclaim for her performance, with the magazine Rolling Stone writing "It is impossible to over-praise Stenberg's incandescent performance, a gathering storm that grows in ferocity and feeling with each scene." The film's director, George Tillman Jr., wrote that "She has this ability to make you feel like you're seeing the real deal, which comes from a level of dedication to the material that's rare at any age."[37] She earned several awards and nominations for the role, which include winning an NAACP Image Award and being nominated for a Critics' Choice Award.[38] [39] In late 2018, Stenberg starred in Amma Asante's World War II drama Where Hands Touch.[40] [41]

In 2019, Stenberg portrayed Elizabeth Eckford, a 15-year-old girl who in 1957 was among a group of nine black students who were initially prevented from entering a racially segregated high school in Little Rock, during a segment on the television show Drunk History (2019).[42] In May 2019, she joined the cast of the Netflix miniseries The Eddy,[43] which was released on May 8, 2020.

In January 2016, Stenberg came out as bisexual[55] [56] [57] though she subsequently stated that pansexual was an accurate term as well.[58] That March, Stenberg came out as non-binary,[59] [60] and uses both she/her and they/them pronouns.[61] [62] In June 2018, in an interview with Wonderland magazine, she came out as gay.[63] [64]

On October 6, 2018, Teen Vogue published an op-ed Stenberg had written for the magazine, in which she shared that she experienced two separate counts of sexual assault.[65]

From early 2018 to late 2018, Stenberg dated singer Mikaela Mullaney Straus, better known by her stage name King Princess.[66] In a July 2017 interview, Stenberg said she had stopped using a smartphone, believing that such devices and social media can have a negative effect on mental health.[67] From 2018 to 2020, she was in a relationship with singer-songwriter Lindsey Jordan.[68] [69]

During 2020, Stenberg lived in Copenhagen for three months in order to retain her Danish citizenship.[70]

Dazed magazine named Stenberg "one of the most incendiary voices of her generation" when it featured her on its Autumn 2015 cover.[71] She was included in Times list of Most Influential Teens in 2015 and again in 2016.[72] [73] In 2016, she was included in the SuperSoul 100 list of visionaries and influential leaders by Oprah Winfrey.[74]

Stenberg is an intersectional feminist.[75] She is outspoken about her political views in interviews and on social media and was named "Feminist of the Year" in 2015 by the Ms. Foundation for Women.[76] [77] She has spoken publicly on social media about cultural appropriation. Her video "Don't Cash Crop My Cornrows" admonished Kylie Jenner for adopting that traditionally African-American hairstyle. In April 2016, Stenberg gave a speech at WE Day California, a WE Charity event.[78]

In October 2023, Stenberg signed the Artists4Ceasefire open letter to Joe Biden, President of the United States, calling for a ceasefire of the Israeli bombardment of Gaza.[79]

In June 2024, Stenberg released "Discourse," a song that was created to address the racial prejudice she has endured.[80] The track references a viral 2018 interview she had with Trevor Noah, in which Stenberg raps “white people crying actually was the goal” of The Hate U Give, a film she stars in about the aftermath of a Black teenager’s murder by a police officer.
