In 2006, Lesley was diagnosed with breast cancer and one of the most important decisions she made was to begin living her best life. She is the author of Dancing in the Rain, An Inspirational Poetic Journey through a Breast Cancer Survivor’s Heart and the co-author of Life is an Attitude…The Power of Positive Living. Her upcoming project, Whispers of Wisdom for Life, is a Proverbs Poetic audio book where she translates the scriptures in a meaningful way so that anyone can understand.
Lesley served as a certified volunteer speaker with the American Cancer Society, where she shared her story and empowered many others as they face their challenges. Lesley has appeared on a variety of television programs and has delivered many messages that inspires, empowers and gives a sense of urgency about purpose and well-being to all walks of life. One of her most honored requests was to recite Maya Angelou’s Phenomenal Woman poem at World Changers International Women’s Day service as well as the Pink Frog Annual Fundraiser.
