King recently recurred on HBO Max's The Sex Lives of College Girls.

Equally masculine and feminine, Nate brings another kind of hustle to Bringston that isn't found on a field or court - she's a thriving stylist and loyal above all. Her friends are her world, particularly her besties Simone (Maya) and Keisha (Netta Walker).
