She's an LA-based writer who loves writing character-driven comedies with BIPOC & LGBTQ+ leads. She has studied at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade, IO West and Second City LA. During her time performing improv, she noticed an insufficient amount of LGBTQ+ writers and performers not being represented within the comedy community. From that awareness, Ashlei created Rainbow Bright Comedy, a BIPOC LGBTQ+ improv troupe. As a filmmaker, she's best known for her short film Bifocal, and web series #TMI. #TMI follows Aaliyah Jones, a bisexual woman who struggles to find love, acceptance and career success while living in Los Angeles. As a Black queer artist, her priorities are to use her intersectionalities through storytelling to shine a light on stories, worlds, and characters that live amongst us who haven’t had their stories told. Ashlei's past time is spent traveling, Googling useless information, and tending to her forty-plus plant children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2e44d970b3cc38a4d306af/1631759920997-5TH4A308F7T6ZXINYVX8/Judge_Destinye+Arnold.jpeg 2021 Award Winners and Judges - Destinye Arnold Destinye Arnold, Dayton native, is a passion driven worker and volunteer in her community.
