Wunmi Mosaku is married to American talent agent Tash Moseley and they have two children, a daughter born in 2024 and their son born mid-2026. Both children appear discretely in these images.

Annie’s Role in ‘Sinners’

Anchored in Mississippi, Annie is a strong-willed Hoodoo practitioner, a herbalist rootworker and healer, who is the emotional and spiritual anchor of the ‘Sinners’ story. She possesses deep intuition, ancestral wisdom and knowledge of the supernatural.

AOC’s brief excursion into this topic is absolutely fascinating and — from a brief overview — a relevant topic to our young Americans today, with a special emphasis on our young people of color.

In the film, Annie is married to Elijah ‘Smoke’ Moore, played by Michael B. Jordan, who won his first Oscar for his dual roles of twins Smoke and Stack in ‘Sinners’, which never dreamed it would become the stunning box office success that it is.

Wunmi Mosaku Upcoming Projects

1] Wunmi Mosaku has joined ‘The Social Reckoning’, the Sony Pictures followup to ‘The Social Network’. The original 2010 drama focused on Facebook’s origin story is now being cast forward to 2021, with the followup script also being written by Aaron Sorkin, writer of ‘The Social Network’. The project currently has a release date of October 9, 2026.

In the new script, Sorkin narrates the true story of how a young Facebook engineer Frances Haugen [played by Mikey Madison] turns to Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horowitz [played by Jeremy Allen White], as she blows the whistle on top secrets striking at the heart of the Facebook enterprise. Mosaku plays the role of Raya, a member of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s legal team.

2] Wunmi Mosaku also appears with Amanda Seyfried in ‘The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd’, a prison break thriller written by Tim Blake Nelson, with a release date of October 3, 2026.

The Mancs Prompt a History Lesson

If you don’t know the definition of a Mancunian, you aren’t alone. A Mancunian is a native or resident of Manchester, England or anything related to the city. People from the city are often called Mancs. Historically-speaking, the word comes from Mancunium, the Medieval Latin name for the Roman fort [Mamucium] that stood at the site of modern Manchester.

Wunmi Mosaku is a Manc. My query about being a Mancunian began in Manchester today and led to a discussion around civilizationism, a very foreboding rise in America of the argument that Eurocentric Christianity has created a superior civilization and it must be protected.

Now you know why I was so fascinated by Annie’s role in ‘Sinners’.

As always happens on AOC, my question around clarification of [what is] a Mancunian led me to the English Civil War [who knew?] and the New Model Army, formed in 1645. From there I moved onto America’s Revolutionary War and citizen control of the military, winding down with the significant fear among a majority of Americans that Trump will violate the US Constitution and use ICE as his own private army against us American citizens.

And you thought that fashion serves no real purpose beyond self-adornment, covering up our private parts and keeping us from freezing to death. Rather than choosing topics, I learn far more by letting fashion start the engine on a new topic — in this case British Vogue’s cover star Wunmi Mosaku being a Manc. I travel to some very interesting places using this technique. ~ Anne
