Hello there! My name is Leah Heffington and I am native to Virginia Beach.

I am the 4th of 9 children; yes we are all biological (I knew you were wondering.)

I believe, as an actor, it is my great privilege and responsibility to create & share stories that impact every person who sees our work & to walk away changed for the better. I make it a goal to bring positivity & light into every day, with a little side of sass.

In my off time, you may find me eating sweet potato fries & avocado in some form or fashion, or catching up on the latest Gossip Girl!

So glad you popped by!

XOXO, Leah Heffington

So so grateful to get the chance to hike upstate today & breathe deeply for what felt like the first time in too long. 🌿 Inhaled so deeply my ribs hurt & I didn’t want to ever leave. These calm moments in the middle of this mess are so

// I stayed up late, long after they left, letting the candles burn down, trying to remember each moment, exactly how the table looked and how each bite tasted. I felt nourished on an impossibly deep level, thankful and full and proud and humbled all
