In today’s conversation, I ask Leslie to open up about her personal journey, the importance of embodied self-defense,and how she helps women speak up, rise up, and take back their power.

Get ready to feel inspired, activated, and grounded in your own strength.

Leslie Lew is an author, humanitarian, international speaker, and Co-Founder of Warrior Queens Rise. As the founder of Reclaiming Your Courage, she empowers women tosay NO without apology and reclaim their voice through trauma-informed self-defense that goes far beyond the physical.

An Asian American woman who has turned personal pain into global purpose, Leslie speaks on the frontlines of gender-based violence, anti-Asian hate, and generational healing. From being spat on in silence to speaking in front of 3,000 girls standing in the rain in Kenya, her message is clear: silence doesn’t save us — courage does.

Through powerful storytelling and embodied leadership, Leslie equips women to rise, lead, and live boldly. Because every time a woman reclaims her voice, she reclaims the world.
