She manages Community Gardens of Roxbury (54 Plots) to increase the consumption of fresh foods, build gardening skills, and social cohesion. Leslie also conducts supermarket tours teaching folks how to shop healthy on a budget, how to make healthier choices, and how to read the nutrition labels and unit prices on foods purchased.

She has also been a caregiver in the Senior Ministry at her church for over 5 years keeping in touch with seniors, giving wellness calls and helping with doctor appointments.
