The Veteran turned entrepreneur – Leslie Latrice of #CareFreeBlackGirl podcast

Welcome to another episode of Behind the Mic: Powered by REVOLT Podcast Network! This week, I’m sitting down with Leslie Latrice—veteran turned entrepreneur, content creator, and one-fourth of the #CareFreeBlackGirl podcast. Leslie’s journey is a testament to living life unapologetically and creating meaningful connections through her storytelling.

In this episode, Leslie shares how her military experience shaped her into the powerhouse creator she is today.

She also opens up about uncovering her ancestry, the challenges of estranged family relationships, and her love for celebrating life’s wins—big or small.

“I am just an outgoing spirit, super empathetic. I love supporting. I love community. And overall, I just like being around people. That’s what gives me energy.” – Leslie Latrice]
