A modern-day Renaissance woman, Leilani is more than just a name in entertainment—she is a visionary. A published model, singer-songwriter, dancer, and Indigenous Rights activist, her journey is a radiant tapestry of cultural pride, resilience, and unapologetic truth. She isn’t just building a career; she’s shaping a legacy.

Rooted in Heritage, Raised for the Stage

Leilani’s creativity is inseparable from her identity. It is deeply rooted in her Indigenous heritage, a lineage she wears with reverence and power. Her breakout role in Nanyehi, a musical produced by Tulsa Theater, was more than a performance—it was a sacred tribute. Playing Betsey Ward, she stood alongside Academy Award-winner Wes Studi in telling the story of her 7th great-grandmother, Nancy Ward (Nanyehi), a Cherokee leader and peacemaker.

For Leilani, this wasn’t acting. It was ancestral reclamation. Through this role, she didn’t just portray history—she embodied it, giving voice to stories too often erased or romanticized. It was proof that the past can speak through the present—and that art, at its best, connects generations.

Commanding Runways, Redefining Beauty

While the theater is one of Leilani’s homes, the fashion world is another domain she’s conquered with grace and grit. Her presence has electrified catwalks from Milan Fashion Week to New York, Los Angeles, and Miami Swim Week. But it’s not just her striking image or poise that captivates—it’s the power behind every step.

In an industry often critiqued for its lack of inclusivity, Leilani is a bold contradiction. She walks not just to display fashion, but to challenge norms, to represent Indigenous beauty, and to show that identity is never a trend—it’s timeless.

A Voice that Heals, Empowers, and Resonates

As a singer-songwriter, Leilani continues to use her artistry as a vehicle for truth. Her music, released through United Masters, is an intimate blend of soul, strength, and story. With themes of love, resilience, and survival woven into every note, her songs speak to those navigating identity, injustice, and the journey to healing.

And she’s just getting started. With an album in the works, Leilani’s sound continues to evolve, grounded in vulnerability yet soaring with defiance. Her music isn’t background noise—it’s a call to awareness, to reflection, and most importantly, to action.

From the Stage to the Screen—Hollywood’s Next Indigenous Star

Leilani’s magnetism has already reached the attention of the film world. She’s performed at prestigious events like BET Awards Weekend and Big Game Weekend, drawing admiration from artists, executives, and creatives across the board. She’s also been invited to audition for major roles—such as Moana and Juliet in a musical film adaptation.

But she’s not entering Hollywood to play someone else’s version of her story. She’s there to rewrite the script, to represent Indigenous voices with dignity, depth, and complexity. Her presence on screen is not just visibility—it’s representation with impact.

Activism at the Core

Beyond the glitz, Leilani’s heartbeat is in her activism. As a lived experience expert on human trafficking, gender-based violence, and human rights, she brings authenticity to every conversation she enters. Her work is informed by her personal experiences—not for sympathy, but to fuel change.

She speaks not just for herself, but for the silenced. From panel discussions to social media, from community outreach to policy conversations, Leilani uses her platform to challenge injustice and uplift those most impacted. Her activism isn’t a side project—it’s the soul of her work.

The Torchbearer for a New Generation

Represented by ADR Agency and Urge Management, Leilani Kristina is not just navigating multiple worlds—she’s uniting them. Whether it’s through her fashion, music, acting, or advocacy, she moves with intentionality, always grounded in who she is and what she stands for.

Leilani is not here to fit into an industry mold. She’s here to break it.
