We had the good fortune of connecting with Ilesha Francis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ilesha, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I started my business because I wanted to turn my passion into my purpose. I wanted the freedom to go into work doing what I loved. I didn’t want to be forced to do a job I hated because I need to survive. Since starting my business, I’ve gained true happiness, I set my own schedule and get to make a difference in my clients’ lives.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
My business approach is based on tailoring services specifically for each of my clients’ needs . My business flourishes because I never allow myself to give up. I meet my clients’ needs by adding more services, aspiring to be an one stop shop for all things beauty.

Of course the journey is filled trials, tribulations, and lessons but I do my best to remain positive and continue to push my brand to success. I’ve learned how to cater to each clients’ expectations to maximize their results and Bodied By Lee experience. Overall, I would like the world to know that Bodied By Lee is more than a business, it’s a lifestyle that works to enhance your inner beauty and boost confidence.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My shoutout goes to my mother. She’s literally been with me every step of the way. Through all the ups and downs of my entrepreneurial journey, she’s supported me, uplifted me, and poured into me like never before. I don’t know where I would be if I didn’t have her by my side, I just appreciate all that she does.
