Podcast appearances and mentions of Leslie Lee

Leslie Lee at the age of 58, is just beginning to explore what it truly means to be adopted. As a same-race adoptee, she was placed with her family at eight weeks old, according to the transcript she received from the agency (Louise Wise) that facilitated the adoption. For most of her life, she carried this part of her identity in silence—only sharing it with a select few friends and family members. Secrecy, and at times shame, shaped much of her experience.Today, she's married, a proud mother of two adult sons, and grandmother to four beautiful grandchildren. Professionally, she built a meaningful career as a human resource specialist, with over 23 years of experience in higher education. She also holds several professional certifications in her field.Outside of work, she's rediscovering her love for reading as a way to disconnect from the noise of current events. Leslie recently took up knitting—still a novice, but enjoying the learning process through both in-person and online lessons. This season of life is about learning what brings her peace, what pleases her, and what helps manage stress in healthy, fulfilling ways.She's honored to share space within the adoption constellation and to finally connect with a community that understands this journey—people who simply get her, just because.Music by Corey Quinn

Discover the differences between neurotoxins and dermal fillers, the risks of excessive injections, and the impact of seeking cosmetic procedures abroad. Learn about the unique challenges in the aesthetics industry, the need for proper training, and the emphasis on patient safety and self-love.  We also talked about societal pressures, body dysmorphia, and the significant impact of ethical practice in aesthetics. Leslie shares candid wisdom on the importance of integrity, proper training, and the ethical responsibility. If you have ever wondered why people look weird, over done or been curious about these practices yourself, check this out. Please note that this was an informative session for me, I am not pro or against any of these practices but they are being overused without caution and I wanted to discuss the dangers and talk about Leslie's motto: it's all about loving ourselves.  Key lessons: Seeking professional advice and moderation in cosmetic procedures are emphasized in the podcast, promoting a cautious approach to beauty enhancements. The importance of prioritizing integrity over profit for injectors is a key focus, highlighting ethical practices in the beauty industry.

Interview with author Leslie Lee - The Culture News

In solidarity with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike (the latter of which Paul and Corey are both members), Paul and Corey have decided to change things up: For the duration of the strike, they will: 1) cover only films about labor unions/strikes/solidarity/etc.; 2) not cover any new releases (that includes Corey's Pass or Plays); and 3) not recommend any streaming services for where you can find these films. First up, Paul was able to connect this film with Corey's previous Babe (1995). This is a film about race relations in the attempt to organize a Chicago slaughterhouse in 1918-19, it's The Killing Floor (1984). The film was made for PBS as a sort of pilot for a (n abandoned) 10-part series on the American labor movement. It was heavily researched by the producer, Elsa Rassbach; written by Obie-winning playwright, Leslie Lee; and directed by Bill Duke (of whom, the Pakler family has a connection...). There's a lot to cover, so put on your union pin and enjoy!

"There's no rules when it comes to art - it's what you want to do." That quote helps paint a picture of our conversation with the incredible songwriter Paul Thorn.

Paul's relatable lyrics and soul-touching melodies not only make for unforgettable tunes but also establish him as an artist that pushes boundaries - a trait evident in his exploration of visual art, that includes creating collages from things he finds on his travels. You won't want to miss this episode!

Great conversation this week. Our girl Leslie Lee went on a whirlwind trip that included Amsterdam and South Africa. We had to get the tea. Every black person needs to visit the motherland and truly get an understanding of their origin, culture, and heritage. It's a necessary pilgrimage for black folks. In all honesty, it's the black man that was stripped from their everything. Africa is on my list for sure. We also touched on the unbelievable story of Shanquella Robinson. Our hearts ache for her family. Our heartfelt prayers are with the family. We want justice. We could not imagine this happening to any of our children. We hope you enjoy this episode.

Prepare to head to the 1970's this week for the first time in a while as we talk about Frederick R. Friedel's AXE aka LISA, LISA aka CALIFORNIA AXE MASSACRE!!!

The great Bill Duke, immortalized onscreen for his roles in Car Wash, Predator, Action Jackson, The Limey and Mandy, also boasts a distinctive five-decade career directing film and television. On this episode, hosts Christopher Funderburg and John Cribbs welcome back Pinnland Empire guru Marcus Pinn to discuss Duke's 1984 feature debut, The Killing Floor. After premiering on the PBS American Playhouse series, winning the Special Jury Prize at Sundance and being chosen as an Official Selection of the "La Semaine de la Critique" section at Cannes, the movie practically disappeared from sight until its recent 4k restoration and preservation by the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Set during a period of migration of Southern black workers to the giant Chicago slaughterhouses during the first World War, Killing Floor concerns the struggle to build an interracial union even as meatpacking management actively plotted to divide the workface along ethnic lines, a conflict which boiled over in the race riots of 1919. Featuring early performances from Alfre Woodard and Dennis Farina, an exhaustively researched screenplay by Leslie Lee (from a story by producer Elsa Rassbach) and assured direction from Duke, it's a film that deserves more recognition for both its subject matter and its own time and place in American filmmaking.

By prioritizing origin diversity, WCR hopes to ensure the coffee industry can continue to access coffee's unique flavors while distributing the economic benefits of coffee to farmers in key origins. Researchers are studying the similarities of the coffee and coca trade in Bolivia and Peru in order to learn more about the costs and benefits of development in relation to current security-oriented policies. The team consists of researchers across three institutions: the University of Reading, the Andean Information Network, and Pontificia Universidad Católica del Peru. In a recent feature for The Conversation, Thomas Grisaffi and Linda Farthing explore some of the reasons why farmers in Peru have ripped out coffee trees to plant coca. A plant with a rich social, cultural, and medicinal significance in indigenous Andean cultures, coca has largely been grown to produce cocaine since the mid-nineteenth century. Compared to coffee, coca offers many benefits to farmers: the fast-growing plant is ready to harvest in a year, rather than three, and is much lighter to carry when harvesting. It also offers farmers more financial security than any other crop, as demand is constant. 25 kg sacks of coca, which can be harvested three-to-four times a year, fluctuate in price between US$30-US$70 per sack, where coffee--which can only be harvested once a year--offers US$37 on average per sack. Recent efforts by the Peruvian government to crack down on coca-growing have resulted in violence, rather than assistance in finding realistic economic alternatives. The researchers have made recommendations that place sustainable development, poverty alleviation, equal opportunity, shared responsibility, and participation in the decision-making process at their core. The Alliance for Coffee Excellence, or ACE, and Hawaiian green coffee company Isla Custom Coffees announced 16 winning lots in a recent competition, with 12 of the winning lots all featuring controlled yeast fermentation in processing. The top scoring coffee was a washed-process SL34 produced by Kraig and Leslie Lee of Kona Farm Direct Coffee, fermented with a wine yeast strain. The strain was chosen to enhance the coffee's acidity and fruity flavor. The competition is a part of ACE's Private Collection series, which features partnerships with origin-specific green coffee companies, and is separate from ACE's Cup of Excellence competition and auction series. The Private Collection auction with Isla Custom Coffees will take place on March 25.If you want to dive deeper into anything you heard today, check out the links in the description of this episode.

Welcome to the IndependentLeft.News Daily Headlines podcast for Sunday, January 10th, 2021.

In this episode, Karlo and Pete discuss Ang Lee's version of the Hulk alongside Leslie Lee of Struggle Session fame.

This week, we continue our conversation with Africa Media Executive, Broadcaster & Creative Industry Specialist, Leslie ‘Lee' Kasumba. In this second part of our conversation with Lee, she gives her definition of purpose, and talks about the challenges she had to overcome in life, and shares some valuable insight on excellence and embodying excellence in everything you do. 

Leslie ‘Lee' Kasumba was born in Cuba and raised in South Africa. Her father initially wanted her to become a doctor, but Lee found her passion in another field which would later make her name known in the African media and entertainment industry. At the young age of 19, Lee began working as a DJ and producer for the biggest radio station in South Africa, YFM. She also functioned as the editor at Y Magazine during the 8 years she worked there. She also wrote for Centric Magazine, hosted the Price of Fame panel with Quincy Jones, and even interviewed Tony Blair for the first ever 'MTV Base Meets'. Lee has served as a TV host for Emcee Africa, and also hosted the African Live 8 music concert, and presented the Key Note address to the United Nations at the Global African Hip-Hop Summit.  Her radio show, “Arambe” was the biggest radio show to come out of South Africa and the first to actively promote and support South African nationals. Lee has also worked internationally as an on-air personality both as a host and panelist, including being a panelist for Big Brother Africa. Lee is also regarded as having played an important role in Hip hop in Africa, having been labelled the 'First Lady of Hip hop' in South Africa. She's hosted several hip-hop battles and travelled around the continent as TV host for Emcee Africa, interviewing various International hip hop acts like Damian Marley, K'naan, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, and Missy Elliott, among others. She's also the First African woman to be featured in XXL Magazine. Lee also emceed Beyoncé's concert in South Africa, and has been a judge at several music awards as well. In this episode, Lee talks about her career, how she started, and where it led to. She shares how all her experience in the creative and entertainment industry, the highs and lows, the blessings and the challenges, has shaped her into what she is now.  Identifying as a ‘global citizen', Lee talks about being the bridge between the creative industry and sociopolitical change. She discusses important issues like how the creative industry has done a better job of uniting Africans in ways that politics can't do, and the need of a cultural shift as Africans to move towards true unity. 

Out-of-home advertising conjures images of billboards dotting the highway, but digital enablement is not only energizing billboards, it’s altering the entire out-of-home landscape, including in-store screens, audio and signage. Leslie Lee, vice president of marketing for Vistar Media and Shelly Murphy, principal with IRI’s Media Center of Excellence, share measurable strategies for retailers and brands to connect with consumers.

Leslie Lee is making a huge impact in the aesthetic industry. She is a Master Creator, RN, beauty guru, and entrepreneur who runs her life and business by being honest with her patients about their needs, which results in some tough conversations. This "recovering control freak" offers courses to become an aesthetic entrepreneur so others can also enjoy more of a balance of work and life.

Full Ep https://www.patreon.com/posts/41749767 Struggle Session's Leslie Lee & Jack Allison talk to me about what will happen if Trump sits through Hamilton, why McCain should be canceled and Liam Neeson should be uncanceled and how Trump is kinda right about the military

For the first time both Struggle Session podcast hosts, Jack Allison & Leslie Lee III join Media Roots Radio! Jack, Robbie and Leslie start by discussing the potential death of mega-budget Hollywood films and how Christopher Nolan's Tenet may be the last original property non-sequel $200mil movie ever to be made. Next the discussion veers to the topic of 'cancel culture' and how the term itself needs to be specifically defined and framed differently than in the typical debates most people are currently having about the subject. Concluding the episode Robbie gets Jack and Leslie's thoughts on the 2020 US Presidential election and they discuss how surreal it feels that there is virtually no energy or momentum leading into this race even though it's only 3 months away. Note: This podcast was recorded the day before Joe Biden announced his Vice Presidential pick. Thanks for listening!

A farcical intergalactic play in one-actPenned by Sophia RommaABOUT THE PLAYThe Virus Corazón is causing chaos among the human population. This stoic and unruly viral infection infiltrates all those who show the ability to covet, to love and entraps those who possess the deep and insatiable desire to fornicate. Three outcasts have been weeded out to populate a new planet, called the Voon. These soon to be Vonanians are to be reformed and purged for their transgressions of depicting feelings and falling in and out of love. These natural human emotions deriving from the ardent passion and amorous adventures, which have particularly imbued the lives of these three slightly off-kilter but ardent fugitives and pariahs—are no longer desirable emotions and land all those who portray a propensity for showing feelings in the penitentiary or the psychiatric ward—as well as in freezers or in bathroom urinals. As punitive measures in the spirit of reformation. These outsiders are mandated to be beheaded by the guillotine at the hands of a sadistic otherworldly vengeful alien, an intergalactic trooper, who uses her bewitching powers and stark wit to, in a totalitarian manner, elicit confessions from these fugitives as she cannot merely deliver these inmates traveling in an out of control pod, to a novel full of hope planet without forcing these cellmates to repent first—as ordained by the dictatorial government of our unholy planet earth.

Warren Ellis' Castlevania show for Netflix is about powerful old men who want to bring the world down around them and the OT3 who say "nope" to all that.

This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay!  1.

This week we talked about Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome(PTSS). Our host Leslie Lee went to a seminar for the weekend. Dr. Joy Degruy was the speaker and she dropped some jewels. Leslie brought back a whole lot of passion, insight, and some words of wisdom and she shared with us. We chatted briefly about an interview with Serena Williams, where she was asked, was she intimidated by another player's looks? Not a fashion show she is here for tennis. Umm... that would be no!

Black Panther Review - Part 2 - Spoilers ***Part 2 is our Spoiler Section of our two pod review of Black Panther*** Spoiler Music - :05 Best Scenes - 2:50 Worst Scenes - 10:15 Effect on the Marvel Cinematic Universe - 18:17 Discussion on the Critics of the Film - 24:10 Trolling, Backlash, and Responding to Those Who “Hate” Black Panther - 30:05 Final Thoughts - 38:25 Check out part one for all the cast & crew bios, production notes, movie specs, and our non-spoiler reviews of the production values, performances, and some transitional thoughts on the script. We do recommend you listen to Part 1 first. Our review of the best scenes diverges into our wishlist for the next series of Bond films. We reference a not-so-obscure South Park catch phrase in our worst scenes. We harken back to some oh-so-good action movie conventions with this film and reference The Fugitive to Predator to Butch Cassidy to the Force Awakens as we examine some of our nit-picks with the plot. We connect lots of dots in the Marvel Cinematic universe and wonder how they’ll build the next phase from the game-changer of Wakanda and Vibranium, cheer on the next Avengers film, compare it to what DC has done, and we even speculate on how the Wakanda cinematic universe might unravel. Then we dive into the backlash against the film and have a substantive discussion regarding some of the naysayers and critics of the movie. We also break down some of the themes and politics of Black Panther, which we argue have been misconstrued by some. The cinematic merits of the film are undeniable, but we do cite some of the harshest critics of the film, including journalist Leslie Lee’s criticisms found here https://twitter.com/leslieleeiii/status/964697251372257281 It’s a serious and substantive discussion worth having in our opinion, but his criticism does have its merits, and we do try and make sense of it. As always, thanks for listening. We’ll get back to our previews and reviews of the Oscar Categories as we plan to complete that series with our Original Screenplay, Director, and Best Picture episodes. Then we’ll do an Oscar Prediction pod followed by the Mike Mike & Oscars, which will include our Top 10 films of 2017 as well as our favorite performances, direction, screenwriting, etc… Of course, we’ll be covering and reviewing Hollywood’s big night. We’ve got some surprises in store for you. Do please help us spread the word about our little show, chat with us on social media, and get ready for the final push to and through the Oscars. It’s gonna be a fun few weeks.

Marriage... Is today's marriage a distraction? Is the sanctity of marriage changing or gone forever? What is the new marriage contract? Our co-host Leslie Lee and Terri Sallay have their husbands on air sharing their insight on marriage. Leslie & Joey are coming up on 30 years of marriage and Terri & Rod are coming up on 28 years of marriage. My Engineer Shawn also shared he has been married for 16 years.

Make sure you join our Patreon to get the extra interview chunk with Matt Stoller. On this episode of the Katie Halper Show, we dissect the way the media smeared Bernie Sanders and his position on identity politics, which, it turns out, is much more nuanced than the position of his peers. Lee argues that the media disingenuously and intentionally distorts what Sanders says for political and ideological reasons and that people who are honest mistakenly pick up this manufactured narrative. We then talk to Matt Stoller about how and why Trump was elected and how our response to him will shape the agenda. He also warns us against taking economists seriously and shares his thoughts on Paul Krugman and populism vs progressivism. And he kills some narratives with his own bare hands. He's also a surprisingly good motivational speaker.

On this episode we talk to writer, professor, and thinker Freddie DeBoer about identity politics, political organizing and which Gummy Bear character Ted Cruz resembles. Then we talk to Leslie Lee, the Black writer and fan of Japanese wrestling, who created the #BernieMadeMeWhite hashtag and Jacob Bridge, a veteran and a conscientious objector, about what makes a Bernie Bro a Bernie Bro.
