My Story

My name is Bea Mienik! I’m an NYC-based performer, musician, and writer, originally from Tampa, FL. Stories have always mattered to me - especially the stories of generally underrepresented groups. This led me to New York University’s Vocal Performance program at Steinhardt, with a concentration in Music Theatre, where I’m slated to graduate in Spring 2025. Before I was a performer, I was a writer. I’ve worked in all writing styles, including creative, promotional (BroadwayWorld.com), and personal essays/ opinion pieces (Scholastic Book Company National Award Winner), disability inclusion, as well as being rejected from NYT’s Modern Love a whopping seven times (one day I’ll impress you, Daniel Jones). I hope to join my two loves and write my own musical, once I become a piano and music theory prodigy overnight (or do it the normal way: lots of practice). There's also the incoherent Google doc I have going called "Bea's stand up material ideas"... but we don't talk about that. Unless you're Lorne Michaels. When I’m not performing or learning piano, you can find me on the beach, daydreaming about working for SNL, listening to Carole King, playing Pokemon games, and telling my cat she is the Prettiest Girl in the World.

Sexual Orientation
iSexual orientation describes a person's enduring physical, romantic, and/or emotional attraction to another person.

Queer

Gender Identity
iOne’s internal, deeply held sense of gender. Some people identify completely with the gender they were assigned at birth (usually male or female), while others may identify with only a part of that gender, or not at all. Some people identify with another gender entirely. Unlike gender expression, gender identity is not visible to others.

Cis

Race/Ethnicity
iRacial identity is the qualitative meaning one ascribes to one’s racial group, whereas ethnic identity is a concept that refers to one’s sense of self as a member of an ethnic group. At their core, both constructs reflect an individual’s sense of self as a member of a group; however, racial identity integrates the impact of race and related factors, while ethnic identity is focused on ethnic and cultural factors. We celebrate our Keys’ intersectionality and understand that creating one’s racial/ethnic identity is a fluid and nonlinear process that varies for every person. Many folks will identify with more than one background while others will identify with a single group more broadly.
