Latoya N. Leslie
I'm a Jamaican-born woman of faith, tech enthusiast, artist, humanitarian, social impact entrepreneur, sexual-assault survivor, and visionary raised in New Jersey. I created my personal website because I understand that there's power in storytelling and intentional relationship-building. I also love problem solving and making an impact. I believe in the infinite abundance of the universe.
I’m passionate about helping others by championing a mindset that encourages faith-based intentional living. Authenticity & Truth motivates me. My specialties include: Customer Success, Intrapreneurship, Enterprise Software, Bootstrapping, Career Pivots, and Project Management. I help business owners with Customer Retention and clear decision making to maximize customer lifetime value. I’m also a SA survivor of technology-facilitated abuse. I’m open to speaking engagements on my experience and healing journey.
In December 2017, I founded LESOYA®️ after discovering in grad school that Social Entrepreneurship was the ideal manifestation of my passion for Service and Technology. My vision for my startup is to support, encourage, and facilitate social good actions using technology for the betterment of humanity. Our first app is CandShout™️, an HR-focused mobile platform for Frustrated Job Applicants and Companies.
As a Speaker, Artist, SA Survivor, Tech Founder, and aspiring Lawyer, I’m currently focused on creating sustainable value while partnering with brands and sponsors that align with my values.
