Golden Brooks, the actress beloved for her breakout role as Maya Wilkes on the seminal UPN/CW series Girlfriends, has signed with Industry Entertainment for management. She’ll be repped by Dana Sims, joining a roster known for guiding talent across both prestige TV and commercial hits.
Brooks, a trained dancer and Yale School of Drama alum, has long been celebrated for her sharp comedic timing and emotional depth—traits that made Girlfriends a cultural touchstone and her character a fan favorite during its eight-season run. In recent years, she’s continued to stack credits that showcase her range, from the Starz crime drama Power Book II: Ghost to the Disney Channel series Saturdays.
Beyond acting, Brooks has directed short films and participated in women-focused creative panels and mentorship initiatives. Her move to Industry signals a continued push into new territory—on and off screen—at a time when the original Girlfriends generation is seeing renewed interest from both audiences and Hollywood execs looking to mine nostalgia with purpose.
