I am in a rough spot right now, but Leigh has been helping me navigate this challenging chapter in my life. She reminds me of who I am and empowers me to stand up and fight for myself. I chose her because she is a woman of color, which makes her relatable and helps me feel understood. She is a truly special woman, and I appreciate her more than she knows.
