BEHIND
the LENS

Birgundi Baker is here to help women find their voice, their confidence, and their place in the world—whether it’s on stage, in front of the camera, or simply within themselves. She creates a safe space for her audience to feel seen, heard, and capable of chasing their dreams.
Birgundi grew up being the only dark skinned person in her family, and feeling like a literal black sheep in the family, that has led Birgundi to find confidence within herself to persevere through challenges and self confidence issues. Also achieving early success as an actress gave Birgundi the initial possibility boost that success was achievable, then seeing a long and extensive downfall right after, and being forced to take a break from the industry, taught her that she needed to educate herself, and persevere through adversary in order to succeed. So she put in the work, and put her passions to the test, majoring in dance and being miserable and having the life of a dancer and learning discipline and dedicating herself to her dreams. She wants to show people it’s not just about luck, it’s also about hard work, and making a space for yourself.
