Leslie Schapira is an open and proud Zionist in an industry that is afraid to show support for a Jewish state. Working in Hollywood as a TV writer, Leslie is outspoken about her identity and beliefs, which are undeterred by the attitudes of those around her. Her talent has earned her opportunities to write for shows on Disney+ and HBO Max. She also leads an incredible initiative called EDIT dinners where she brings together Jewish and Zionist leaders together. We applaud Leslie for her stalwart commitment undeterred by fear and social pressures.
