The family lived in Kingston, when her parents immigrated to England, the children went to live under the guardianship of their uncle in New Garden, St. Andrews. In New Garden, Leonie developed a love for reciting rhymes, taught to her by her cousins, for they were all she could say without stuttering. Leonie and her siblings joined their parents in stages, she in May 1960. There she attended Grafton Junior School, in North London where a speech therapist was assigned to her and helped her overcome her lisp and stutter. By the age of nine her speech impediment was a thing of the past. Along with her speech came a new found confidence that made her a non-stop chatter. Her mother encouraged her writing with an endless supply of diaries and her teacher encouraged the poetry by introducing her to William Wordsworth’s “Daffodils”. Leonie moved to America in 1984 with her husband and two daughters later a son became a welcomed addition to the family. She continues to write and perform at poetry open mic venues.view less
