What does Dionne Lea Williams do for a living?
Dionne Lea Williams is an actress.
Williams attended NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Further, she went to the University of Evansville to complete her education. She got into acting as a teenager, at the age of 14. She has been involved in projects like Ray Meets Helen, Heelbent, ER, Dolphin Island, and others. Although she has made a name for herself in the entertainment industry, she regards herself as a storyteller. She took to Instagram to explain why she gave herself this title.
She explained, “I started acting when I was 14. I went to Arts HS. I have a BFA in theatre. I have an MFA in acting. So naturally, when folks ask me what I do, I say, ‘I’m an actor.’ However, when you work sporadically, you don’t actually feel like an actor. When you can’t roll off a list of well-known shows or movies in which you’ve appeared, folks give you the side eye. I decided to step back to take a long hard look at my career, and renamed myself…a storyteller! What a difference a title makes, right?! Storyteller = freedom…to me. Free to tell my stories in any form I choose. Deep breath.”
