Meet Leslie
A decade professional experiences across tech, academic, nonprofit organizations as a lonely only taught me how to hold space for others long before I learned to hold it for myself. I building 1:1 coaching containers, community care & learning spaces, and operational infrastructure that empowers those moving through transformation to make sustained and lasting impact in the world. From my own journey I created a patented S.O.L.O. methodology that support leaders and mission-led teams moving through transformation.

What We Do
Rooted Reclamation is a coaching, consulting, and community practice for Black women, femmes, queer folks of color, and neurodivergent professionals navigating burnout, career transitions, and seasons of loneliness and low confidence. Through 1:1 coaching, community gatherings, and workplace culture strategy, we create space to unpack what weighs you down and reconnect with your values, your voice, and your vision.
This is where you rediscover your capacity to trust yourself more than the systems around you. This is where you remember your power.
This is for you if…
-
Constantly code-switching, over-performing, and carrying the weight of excellence while feeling unseen, isolated, or burnt out in environments that weren’t built for you.
-
A layoff, a move, a rupture, a new identity, a new role AND you're ready to stop white-knuckling it alone
-
Who am I when I'm not doing something for someone else?
what do I most want right now?
what am I meant to be doing with my skills?
What is pulling at me, bothering me and how do I deal with it?
-
Something has been pulling at you, whispering to you, coming up constantly and you feel called to answer. You want to trust yourself more than the systems and limiting beliefs that have shaped you
Working with Rooted Reclamation provides a safe, imaginative space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your values, your voice, and your vision. This is where you rediscover your capacity to trust your self more than the systems and limiting beliefs around you. This is where you remember your unique power. This is where you incubate the next phase of impact in your career. This is Rooted Reclamation.
Our current offerings range from individual coaching and training, to virtual and in-person events, and strategic consulting as a fractional people & culture lead. We invite you to join us on the journey to build a more sustainable and just future.
Transformational Coaching
Coaching with me is an invitation to pause, unpack, and return to yourself. Whether you’re navigating a transition, elevation, or deep season of reflection, our work together creates space for you to reconnect with your truth, trust your inner compass, and design a future rooted in care, not the grind. Each engagement follows a personalized arc informed by the S.O.L.O. Method, blending guided inquiry, affirmation, journaling, somatic awareness, and creative visioning. Together, we explore what it means to lead a life that is aligned, liberated, and whole.

Digital Guides & Rituals
Not ready for 1:1 coaching yet? Start where you are today. I’ve created a library of resources designed to help you reclaim your power and confidence in building your dream life.
For the version of you that is ready to stop overstaying.
This workbook was born out of an urgent season of transformation. Not from having it figured out, but from being in the middle of it and refusing to do the work alone.
Boundaries as Self-Devotion is a self-guided experience for those ready to reimagine boundaries, not as walls or punishment, but as acts of devotion to the version of yourself that is trying to emerge.
Inside you'll find:
A grounding in ancestral wisdom through Grandma Baby's Lenormand
3 steps to reimagining boundaries
A ritual for naming what you're releasing and what you're protecting
A three-part questionnaire inspired by Audre Lorde, Doechii, and Jill Scott's To Whom This May Concern
This is not a productivity tool. It's a becoming tool.
The world has been loud. Your nervous system knows it.
This guidebook is an invitation to slow down, return to your body, and remember what you actually want. Not someday, but now, in this season, in this life you are already building.
Through ancestral wisdom, astrological grounding, somatic writing, and guided meditation, you'll move through a complete experience designed to help you get still, get honest, and get clear on what you are ready to claim.
You can move through it in one sitting or return to it across several days. There is no right way. Just begin where you feel called.
What's included:
Ancestral grounding with Audre Lorde
Guidance on what the sky is asking of you
Private link to the guided meditation: Come Home to Your Body
A somatic writing exercise: A Day in Full Bloom
Reflection prompts rooted in the body, pleasure, and self-worth
This is for you if:
You've been surviving and are ready to feel what thriving actually feels like in your body
You're navigating a transition and need somewhere quiet to land
Something is being born in you and you want to tend to it
You simply need a space to breathe and return to yourself
This guidebook was born from Rooted & Rising: In Full Bloom — a virtual gathering held on the Taurus New Moon, May 16, 2026 — and it was designed to travel beyond that moment for you!
Whether you’re seeking clarity, healing, or a renewed sense of purpose, it is imperative that we cultivate our capacity to dream beyond the present circumstances. This Dream Guide offers a guided meditation, reflective and imaginative journaling prompts, and a template to create your own visual representation of your ideal future.
