Millena Gay is an award-winning producer, director and actress whose dynamic career spans nearly three decades. A native of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, she graduated from the University of Virginia's pre-law program — but a title-winning performance as Sojourner Truth during the Ms. Black World Pageant shifted her trajectory toward the arts.
A lucrative television career began on One Life to Live, followed by All My Children, The Guiding Light, General Hospital, and The Young and the Restless. Inspired to expand her creative reach, she wrote, produced, and hosted several successful talk shows before transitioning into producing and directing. She graduated with honors from UCLA Extension's Producing & Entertainment Studies Program and recently completed her UCLA Directing Certification for Film and Television — with honors.
Millena just finished co-directing with Obba Babatundé the short film Ruby's Heart. Her body of work includes directing and producing the award-winning feature documentary Golden Hearted; the celebrated narrative feature Something About Mother (starring Jayne Kennedy, Dawnn Lewis, and Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs); and producing the short films Clarissa's Gift, Journey, The Journey Continues, and the acclaimed short documentary Fun The Emachee Way. She is currently directing and producing the breast-cancer documentary Wake UP: This Could Be You in Eleuthera, Bahamas.
As a philanthropist and mentor, Millena founded HoneyPeach Productions to inspire young women, and continues to champion positive, uplifting stories that celebrate the human experience.
