Becoming a Filipin-YES: Carving a Path in the Creative Arts 11/18/2021

Becoming a Filipin-YES: Carving a Path in the Creative Arts Director, producer, filmmaker, and photographer, Leslie Alejandro has spent most of her life in the entertainment industry. Her career as a professional musician started at the age of 15 and continued over the course of two decades. She then shifted her focus to publication as a partner/executive director at a celebrity and fashion digital magazine for seven years. Here she wore many hats - creative/art director, editor, and photo producer. After several years of experience on many sets, Leslie eventually found her passion for being behind the camera. From this, she decided to pursue photography full time. Her work has been featured in Vanity Fair, Variety Magazine, GQ, Men's Health, Teen Vogue, Women's Health, The Wrap, Nylon Magazine, etc. Alejandro's existing obsession with film and television and her ability to story- tell through imagery, composition, and stills then led her to discover her passion in filmmaking. Her directing credits include the documentary short about surrogacy 'She's Having My Baby', the short film 'Smile', starring Kevin Alejandro and DB Woodside, and 'Adult Night', in which she co-directed with Kevin Alejandro, starring Kevin Alejandro and Lesley-Ann Brandt. On this episode, we discuss mental health, pursuing a career in entertainment, and forming a supporting community. Leslie also tells us about her professional journey so far and her upcoming projects. You can connect with Leslie at: Instagram: and /episode/index/show/entrepinayship/id/21201746
