Our stories give us grounding.

They transform experience to roots.

They harvest fruits from where there once was only mud.

They contain the seeds of the people we become.

I’m Leah, and I’m a New York-based writer and editor, visual artist, and communications strategist, as well as farmer. The Core Stories is the small plot I’ve carved out on the internet — a place to plant and share creative projects with fellow diggers, sowers, and growers of true tales with heart.

A few favorite recent projects include an essay for Design*Sponge defining “home” in Brooklyn, an article for Clementine Daily on embracing the anti-hustle, and a behind-the-scenes look at the Smithsonian’s archives for My Modern Met.
