teen girls and young women to discover their authentic self and embrace their
divine purpose.

Christian principles to help teen girls and young women gain clarity and
discern God’s next step for their life. Leslie’s proven coaching techniques

speaker. She is quickly becoming a sought after speaker and facilitator. Leslie
is transparent, passionate, bold and funny. This unique combination allows her
to engage her audience and promote critical thinking. Growing up a teen mom and
breast cancer survivor, she openly shares her testimony of how her deeply
rooted faith in God transformed her into an OVERCOMER.
Through
this transformation, Girls Living Life on Purpose, Inc. began in an intimate
setting with just five girls in a recreation center. The program has grown to
18 girls – monitoring their growth through high school graduation and beyond.
Leslie is gifted with the ability to empower and inspire teen girls and young
women through national and local conventions, conferences, teen summits, high schools,
