Danielle J. Long

Hi! I’m Danielle — a creative and advocate at the intersection of law, performance, and empowerment.After pursuing Broadway dreams, I became a lawyer and embarked upon a long commitment to public interest law. For more than a decade, I’ve focused on representing underrepresented, disadvantaged, and vulnerable communities. Whether on stage or in the courtroom, I’ve used my voice to help tell stories that matter.Along the way, I began exploring how to help people understand their financial story, as well. As an actress and first-generation lawyer, I know firsthand the uncertainty that can come with pursuing purpose-driven paths. In addition to families, I have a special heart for empowering artists, entrepreneurs, and community-rooted leaders — all visionaries — who carry big dreams but may not have been shown ways to make their money grow and last.This space offers a curated look at how I’m building stories that spark connection and legacies that last. A glimpse at work unfolding—present, future, and past.


Danielle is an AEA actress, licensed attorney (NC & GA), and multi-state licensed financial professional.
