About Leslie D. Hamilton
Leslie D. Hamilton is a poet and storyteller with an MBA in marketing from Columbia University. She wants to live in a world where differences are appreciated and the intrinsic value of women, children and people of color is celebrated. When she finds the world doesn’t live up to this ideal, she writes about it. Leslie has had the pleasure of performing as featured storyteller or poet at numerous venues throughout the tri-state area, including the Barnes Foundation, the African American Museum in Philadelphia, the Carteret Waterfront Park, numerous schools, libraries, community-based care facilities, bookstores, and, most recently, for the Philadelphia Jazz Project, where she premiered “Blues for Trayvon Martin.” Her work was recently selected for performance by industry actors at the fall Rhythm and Verse salon. You can find her on Facebook at Leslie.D.Hamilton247 and can reach her at Ldhamilton247@gmail.com.
