Leian John-Baptiste
Director Storyteller Facilitator(Male)
I consider myself a storyteller above all else, it’s why I love to direct. I’m incredibly passionate about sharing stories from the black experience and creating role models for audiences who are often
forgotten, underserved and undervalued. Representation matters! It’s very important for people to see themselves reflected, have someone relatable to aspire to, we all deserve that. I enjoy work around identity.
