While playing Leah Danvers, LaBlanc returned to what it felt like to be 17, but with a new confidence and passion to be heard. “Isabella is a prime example of an artist who is always trying to uplift and speak to challenge perceptions about Native people in a way that's about leaving the art form a better place for all people,” actor and playwright JuCoby Johnson said.
