Lakeisha, is an actor, writer and artist who’s performed in many theatres, platforms and locations UK-wide.
As a BRIT School Alumni, her work as a performer has shaped her drive to find the most unique ways to illuminate complex stories.
​
Her first short play for young audiences 'Praying to Be'
"an original, startling, darkly comic and thought- provoking look at the way the judicial process and society deals with young offenders as seen through the lives of a group of interlinked teenagers",
"all in all a remarkable piece", was commended for Trinity's International Playwriting Award.
Lakeisha treasures working immersively with different communities through heritage work and storytelling - believing in the power of theatrical frameworks such as devising and play - to be unifying tools, that allow for an earnest sense of agency.
