Leslie Nipkow is an actor and writer, breast cancer survivor, and daughter of an Auschwitz survivor. As a result, she writes characters who battle overwhelming odds, whether it be institutionalized prejudice, a Cat 5 hurricane, or their own rogue cells. Most recently, she won the Black List x Hornitos "Take Your Shot" Fellowship Grant to direct a proof-of-concept short for her award-winning feature drama "Salt of the Earth." She is a 2021 Black List Google Assistant Storytelling Fellow, a Stowe Story Labs Development Grant recipient, an Athena TV Writers Lab Fellow, and has been published in the New York Times and O: the Oprah Magazine, among others. Leslie lives in New Orleans where she finds untold stories on every street corner. In her spare time, she boxes.
