Bleu Beckford-Burrell is a New York City native, Jamaican-American Playwright/Actor holding an M.F.A. in Acting from Rutgers University.

She attended Stony Brook University where she received a B.A in Psychology the foundation which helped foster her first passion, Acting. 

Bleu doesn't consider herself  just a writer or an actor but an 'Artist' she is all things as every experience leads to creativity. 

Her work is driven from her background, experiences, and observations of life. She'd like her work to be a vehicle to shed light and start conversations about the modern day Black experience in America. 

 When she isn’t writing plays, teaching or binging T.V. shows, she’s most likely considering the next critical thought piece she’d like to write for her blog: Candidly Bleu
