It's Me, Le'ianna!
Who is she?
Le'ianna Nicole is a southern black woman storyteller weaving stories through film, poetry, theatre, and photography. She seeks to intimately explore the lived experiences of Black women across the Afro-Diaspora creating havens of collective healing and empowerment. Through her work, she hopes to explore black ancestral memory, contribute to liberation movements, uncover/dismantle systems of oppression, and live in the duality of black joy and rage, all while creating bastions of healing.
Le'ianna received her Bachelor of Arts (2020) from Winthrop University where she majored in Theatre Performance and minored in Film/Content Production. During her time at Winthrop Le'ianna performed in mainstage and black box productions, she directed countless short documentaries and stage productions. While studying abroad in Ghana, (2018) Le'ianna made her directorial debut in partnership with the Drama Queens Collective and the African Women's Development Fund, Le'ianna directed their winter production of For Colored Girls. Beyond the art she creates, Le'ianna is a lover of nature, words, all things black culture, astrology, beaches, and chicken wings! She seeks to actualize all the things she's imagined and live her life as a love letter to all black women including herself. When she isn't creating you can find her laughing hysterically at her Twitter feed, mixing up herbs, or somewhere sunbathing. Welcome to the sanctuary of all the things she's imagined!
