so leah’s career started when she was a child

not as a writer tho !! ( tho she did write stories when she was a kid it just wasn’t the beginning of her career )

yes, our dear leah was originally a child actor !!

she played faith kwan on a show called raising brooklyn, and she was the Mean Girl

she was like eight or nine when the show started and she was a riot during her audition like if you’ve seen amanda bynes doing stand-up during her younger years that’s what leah’s audition was like

she was a v shy kid tho and nervous as all hell during her audition and jokes were how she dealt w anxiety

so basically she was the exact opposite of faith and whenever the director would call “cut” she would apologize a lot to whoever she had to be mean to

the show ran for a long time like ten seasons long

there was a v popular crossover episode between them and life: by leah and that’s where she met our very own dylan !! her first publicity bf, though it ended up turning into a real thing and he was her first love

they broke up mutually and are still friends tho !!!

anyway after raising brooklyn ended leah decided she didn’t want to act anymore, but she didn’t want to leave the industry entirely !!

so she started at the bottom as a writing intern, even tho she was offered writing jobs solely bc of her name

eventually worked up the ranks on a show called ‘double trouble’ about two twin troublemakers with a single mom ( think suite life but not in a hotel lmao )

after the show got cancelled dylan told her there was an opening on the writing staff at life: by leah and she jumped at the chance !!

she’s lovin it tbh and she’s been there for a couple seasons and is gonna see it through to the end

she’s gotten approached about reprising her role as faith on the show but she’s like ???? idts

rly likes working behind the camera more than in front of it

( would probably do it if dylan asked tho )

um so !! she’s super sweet and shy and gets flustered around pretty people sometimes and also when too much focus is on her

lets people take advantage of her bc she doesn’t speak tf UP

but if u love her she’ll love u
