I am so humbled and excited to share a 5-part series with Cynthia Bemis Abrams and “Advanced TV Herstory”.

@leahvbee: What are you working on next? In addition, if people want to find out more about you, where can they find you on social media?
I’m desperate to get back on set! I’m writing & in constant search of material, so… if anyone wants to collaborate, give me a shout! http://www.leahbleich.com IG: @leahvbee Twitter: @leahvbleich
@leahvbee: What, if anything, do you collect?
Hmm… I’ve accidentally built up a pretty substantial collection of VHS & VHS-C cameras as a result of doing two projects with them. It’s not an intentional collection — but it’s definitely a collection nonetheless.
@leahvbee: What advice do you have for other women in the industry?
There is no shortage of opportunities. I know I struggle with my own competitive spirit, and I’m actively working on tempering that as I get older. We succeed by lifting each other up & then tossing the ladder back down, and there’s room for all of us in the sun on the other side of… Read More @leahvbee: What advice do you have for other women in the industry?
@leahvbee: What is a successful moment in your career so far?
Back in August, I found out I won a competition called The Six Feet Apart Experiment. Created by Justin Baldoni & his company Wayfarer Studios, this competition selected five first-time filmmakers to produce a micro-budget feature film in 2020. Just a few months later, I was suddenly on the other end of production on my… Read More @leahvbee: What is a successful moment in your career so far?
@leahvbee: What is your biggest concern with the future?
Oof! Probably the polarization of viewpoints based on online content. While I wish this year brought the world together against the common enemy of COVID-19… I’m sure we all know that’s not the case. I hope I get to participate in a stronger, less divided United States at some point in my lifetime. I’m optimistic.… Read More @leahvbee: What is your biggest concern with the future?
@leahvbee: What’s a defining moment in your life?
A few years ago, I found out I have the BRCA-1 mutation, which takes my likelihood of getting breast cancer in my lifetime up to something like 50-85%. But knowledge is power, and I have the ability to minimize this risk through careful monitoring and prophylactic surgeries. But I bring this up because this knowledge… Read More @leahvbee: What’s a defining moment in your life?
@leahvbee: Why did you decide to get into this industry?
When I was little, I desperately wanted to believe that magic was real. I was always ready for secret doors and letter-carrying owls — but nothing ever came. But that degree of magic exists on screen, and I’ve been mesmerized since childhood by entertainment, storytelling, and the potential a person has to exist in an… Read More @leahvbee: Why did you decide to get into this industry?

Jewelry ranging from rings and neckpieces from @theherdsa. I love looking elegant and amplifying my uniqueness and I also ensure that I support other black female entrepreneurs.
