The Women Lift Project is thrilled to announce Leslie McGraw as the keynote speaker for our 4th Annual Tea Luncheon – Secure Our Sisterhood on March 15th at Fellows Creek Golf Course. A celebrated poet, writer, and social activist, Leslie has dedicated her life’s work to amplifying voices, fostering change, and empowering individuals to share their stories in ways that create real impact.

Who Is Leslie McGraw?

Leslie’s journey as a writer and activist began in her early years when she discovered the transformative power of poetry. What started as a personal refuge soon became a tool for advocating for social justice, equality, and community empowerment. Her passion for storytelling led her to establish the Bookbound Open Mic & Share Poetry Series, which thrived for seven seasons, providing a platform for artists to express themselves and engage in thought-provoking dialogue.

Beyond her literary impact, Leslie is a leader in civic engagement and digital media. She currently serves as the Director of Communications for Protectors of Equality in Government (PEG.) She is the founder of Les Go Social Media Marketing & Training, where she helps businesses and organizations navigate digital spaces with purpose and authenticity. Her work in communications has allowed her to support social causes and uplift marginalized voices, ensuring that critical issues receive the attention they deserve.

Black Fire This Time Summer Fellowship by Willow Books in Detroit
The Leaven Center’s Eleanor S. Morrison Scholarship for Creative Writing for Social Justice
