As I’ve gotten to know Leah, it’s not just her personal understanding of the reality of being a lower-level writer or her boots-on-the-ground strike experience that makes her impressive. It’s her intense, optimistic focus on how we can build the business back up for the future.

She’s a delight to talk to, she does the toughest work quietly with no ego, and she just fundamentally GETS IT on every level. Seek her out at Disney, email her, or find her on Twitter @leahfolta And if you can, join me in endorsing her by Tuesday at 12pm: elections.wga.org/2023/leah-folta
