Leslie Mejia

Leslie “Les” Mejia (She/They) is a South Bronx (Lenape Land) native of Dominican Descent. Les sits at the intersection of Educational Equity, Arts facilitation, and Wellness advocacy.  Art became a huge healing modality through her formative years, and she has since worked toward finding a way to share art as a healing tool. As a licensed social worker, she has had the opportunity to fuse her love for artistic expression and explore its relation to mental health and wellness. In her most recent endeavors, Les has begun bringing community events to the South Bronx with the sole purpose of connecting, creating, and inviting folks to express themselves freely.
