“I choose magic and life and love.”
-Kimber Leigh
Kimber Leigh
Kimber Leigh is a highly respected actress, model, producer, television host, spokesperson, and master of ceremonies. Her book Greta Garbitch talks about her dysfunctional childhood and the adult life that ensued. But Kimber took life by the horns, refusing to be pulled into the dark dysfunction that was her family life, and chose to make her own way, into a better life.
As a child, Kimber’s mother was a violent alcoholic that beat her daily.
“I just curled up in a fetal position and I asked: take me right now or take her out. One of us has to go because I cannot endure anymore beatings.”
At one point, Kimber found herself disassociated from the beatings. Somehow she was outside, standing in the snow, experiencing a sense of lightness and love that was alien to her daily life. That sense of light, the existence of a better way, would guide much of her life.
Kimber’s mother would go onto die and her two brothers killed themselves.The intergenerational abuse was something that had to end with her.
“I made a very conscious decision to break this dysfunctional cycle. The choice to just say no I can do better and be better is what you have to do.”
Catholic school didn’t offer Kimber a respite from her home life. It seemed to Kimber to be a way of stifling her creativity. But as adulthood approached, she found a way out.
Kimber was one of the first flight attendants hired by and it changed her life.
“I needed to travel to get me through.”
When the plane left the earth, so did all her demons and concerns.
Kimber went onto a successful career in film. Her series The Animal Rescuers/The Global Rescuers recorded ver 100 episodes and is still available on www.voiceamerica.tv. She’s an author, a speaker and a role model for everyone who ever doubted themselves.
