Leah's portfolio of past work
Leah has taken the road less traveled
Throughout her life, Leah has always strayed off the beaten path …
whether it was leading workshops to help breast cancer survivors tell their stories in their own words, or spending a year writing about death
… she has consistently been drawn to telling the stories that usually get brushed under the covers.
