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

Hi Lindsey, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I have always been a creative and known that I wanted to work for myself. Becoming a Mom in my early 20s made me so much more aware of the challenges women have with their bodies and the importance of having the control to make decisions about it. Jewelry has always been a love of mine, so I decided to create a brand that celebrates Women and our beautiful, powerful bodies.

 

What should our readers know about your business?
The LCL Collection is a jewelry brand that was inspired by my three little ones. Jewelry has always been one of my favorite accessories and QUALITY is the most important thing to me when it comes to anything that I put my name on. Our first, and signature piece, is the Power Chain Uterus Necklace. A piece that represents my 3 babies, my 3 miscarriages, and the changes in my body that came with it all. It’s a piece that can mean anything to any woman, not only mothers. It’s representative of Power, Life, and Sisterhood. Starting a business is always challenging and can be slow moving, but is so worth it when it is something that you love and your heart is in it.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My MUST EAT spots in Atlanta are Eight Sushi Lounge, Planta, and Kimchi Red. My favorite coffee spots are Cafe Comma and Valor Coffee. I enjoy the High Museum and The Botanical Gardens for a day out.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My shoutout is for every woman. The Moms, the ones who want or don’t want to be Moms. The ones who have struggles with their beautiful bodies. The ones who stay at home, work full time, or are entrepreneurs, The Women who support and uplift each other. Every color, shape, and size. Shoutout to all of the Women making this world more Amazing and Exciting everyday.
