Her heritage is a distinct mixture that includes African (Khoisan as well as San), European (German, Dutch, British), and Asian (East Indian) influences, as well as an element of Spanish as well as Ashkenazi heritage. The rich mix of cultures has formed her identity and gives her a conviction in her heritage.

Lesley follows a Vegan Diet.
She adores whole foods such as lentils, quinoa, and fruits, making her meals healthy and clean. To help make it more convenient, she usually makes use of Sakara the Vegan meal delivery company. While she adheres to the same routine and concentrates on nourishing the body with nutritious food, she’s also not all about adherence to a strict diet. She enjoys the vegan version of chocolate as well as French macaroons every now and again. Her philosophy is about balance and following the 80-20 rule of eating healthy most times, but having fun with those little treats!
Hobbies
She’s all about finding balance and joy in everyday moments. Yoga keeps her grounded, while hockey and baseball bring out her competitive side.
She loves escaping into nature with a good mountain hike and unwinding with a true crime documentary (because who doesn’t love a little mystery?).
But above all, family time is her favorite—whether it’s with her husband, son, or loved ones, that’s where her heart truly is.
