Love, Leslie: Voice Notes From The Fire
by Dr. Leslie Oluchi
Love, Leslie is a voice of fire, faith, and unwavering truth. These spoken letters are for daughters, sisters, and women in the fight—women who have lost everything, yet refuse to stay broken. When the glass broke, I saw the truth. And sometimes, things must fall apart completely before we can be rebuilt. I never truly knew the power of who I was—until I was attacked for it. Love, Leslie is my cry to bravery despite the battle. These letters are a call to wake up, to reclaim your voice, to step into the life God has called you to—fully, fearlessly, and with an open heart. Because everyone tells you to rise—but no one tells you how. These letters walk with you through the fire, leading to truth, strength, and the life you were meant to live. It’s time to rise.
