Originally from Panama and a world-traveled Army brat, Leah Beilhart's life and photography covers 20 countries and 200,000+ miles across the United States. She's been published and recognized as a change-maker and social impact innovator in Washington, D.C. by Mayor Muriel Bowser. With her degrees in Art Therapy and New Media Journalism, her passions revolve around breaking through the surface layer.
Her time is partly spent curating events for her organization, Behold.Her, a growing community that focuses on developing self worth through a series of stigmatized conversations, portraiture, and interviews. When she’s not doing photography, she's a Producer at Emic Films. She's a little rough around the edges, but her candidness and transparency is what makes her work and conversations provocative and life-changing.
