![ATLANTA, GA âLaila Leighâs Streamer University journey started on cardboard in a pink room in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. From a young age, her family has taught her to speak things into existence: grades, internship opportunities and now the chance to build her brand as a social media influencer.
â[Lailaâs father] believes in speaking things into existence. I believe in writing it down and making it plain. Lailaâs been around all these concepts,â said Mai Leigh, Lailaâs mother. âShe has books about manifestation.â
Laila Leigh, who goes by âLailaSimoneTVâ on Twitch, hopes that Streamer University is just one step in a path that leads to a career as an entertainment correspondent. She has memories of watching âGood Morning Americaâ and â106 and Park,â respectively. The showâs hosts, Robin Roberts and Rocsi Diaz, were her role models. Watching them helped Leigh realize she wanted a life in front of the camera.
