Alabama NewsCenter — People of Alabama: Leigh Sherer Seirafi of Jasper

People of Alabama

“When I returned from college, I did some auditioning in New York. I came to the decision that that was not the life for me – performing in New York. That was really hard because it was almost like I was giving up on my dream, but, at that point, it was something that I wasn’t totally 100% committed to in my gut. That was a tough turning point for me because I was still very young. In hindsight, I could’ve gone for it, but life has been beautiful since so I know it was the right decision. It was a gut decision. I had an opportunity available to me, a good job where I could stay with my family in Alabama and yet still do some performing here. It really did work out like it was supposed to be.” – Leigh Sherer Seirafi, Miss Alabama 1995, from Jasper.

Seirafi is a Samford University graduate who now lives in Jupiter, Florida. There are many things she misses about Alabama. This biggest is family.

“We’re 12 hours away. It’s tough. I miss my family and friends and the deep South, you can’t beat it,” she said.
