Early life Rosalyn Coleman-Williams was born July 20 to educators Don and Madeleine Coleman in Ann Arbor Michigan. There she attended the Black Panther Day Care Program, where field trips and group projects with the program sparked her interest in acting. Rosalyn relocated to Washington DC with her family at the age of ten, and attended Duke Ellington School of the Arts. Rosalyn auditioned and was accepted to the theatre program, but year after year found herself working as an usher rather than performing roles onstage. She was not deterred from acting, however and found outlets for acting in venues like the Arts Recognition and Talent Search, a scholarship program for artistic high school students which she attended with Tony Award winning actress and Oscar Nominee Viola Davis. Rosalyn attended Howard University for college, where she majored in Drama and also participated in DIVA, the society for Divine Intelligent Versatile Artist. Rosalyn still remains close personal friends with Actress Harriet D Foy who created the organization. Rosalyn went on to graduate Cum Laude with a BFA in Theatre. After Howard, Rosalyn studied with Michael Khan.
