About

Kimleigh Smithis a rising force in the entertainment industry. Those who know her say, “she is the epitome of Black Girl Magic,” living a multi-hyphenate career as an Actor, Director, Producer, Speaker, Best-Selling Author, and Internationally-Acclaimed Multi-Award-Winning Solo Performer.

At the heart of everything Kimleigh does is a powerful belief: we can turn our pain into purpose, our stories into strength, and our experiences into something that moves us—and others—forward.

That belief gave birth to her signature philosophy, Embrace Your Cape!®—inspired by Kimleigh’s own journey of overcoming childhood trauma through storytelling. Her guiding vision weaves empathy and humor into bold, transformative stories that embrace humanity—shining profound truth and light even within the darkest narrative spaces.

But Kimleigh is more than a storyteller.

She is a storyteller who creates movement.

Whether she is in front of the camera, behind the lens, onstage, or inspiring audiences from the podium, Kimleigh brings a singular voice to every creative space she enters. Her authenticity, generosity, and extraordinary talent make her not only a compelling artist who is unapologetically herself, but the kind of collaborator people want to work with—and once they do, work with again and again.

Because Kimleigh doesn’t simply tell stories.

She helps people Embrace Their Cape.
