Elei Reyes is an Afro-Latina actress, filmmaker, and storyteller born in the Dominican Republic. From an early age, she was drawn to the performing arts, participating in church, school plays, and local theater productions where her natural talent quickly stood out. She began her professional career on stage and soon transitioned into commercials, television, and film-landing roles in a variety of projects that showcased her depth, range, and commitment to the craft.

Elei has steadily built a reputation as a passionate and dynamic artist with a strong commitment to her craft. In addition to acting, she is an emerging filmmaker with a bold voice and unique vision. She wrote, directed, and starred in Elenna, a suspense thriller, and earned multiple awards for her short film The Second Time-a project that also marked the launch of her production company.

A powerful voice in storytelling, Elei has developed several original scripts, including a deeply personal one inspired by the real-life story of her mother. Her work is known for its emotional resonance, richly drawn characters, and striking cinematography. She is particularly drawn to narratives that explore the human condition and give voice to underrepresented communities, always seeking to tell stories that are as meaningful as they are visually compelling.

Outside of her creative work, Elei is a dedicated philanthropist and advocate for women's empowerment and education for underprivileged children. When she's not on set or in the editing room, she finds joy in traveling, cooking, and spending time with her loved ones.

Passionate, purposeful, and visionary, Elei Reyes is a rising force in the entertainment industry-an artist devoted to creating work that informs, uplifts, and inspires.
