In 2023 Bemba starred alongside Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo in Poor Things, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. She described the role of Toinette as her "favorite character ever", explaining that "she is a socialist and a feminist and whatever pain she has, she's never in pain because she is a Black female."[5] She founded the Actors Association (ADA),[6] a professional support group aiming to combat harassment and improve on-set protection for French actors.[7]
Bemba is studying medicine alongside her acting career.[5]
