Before you know about me, you should know how this house of gems came to be.

The idea of a blog came to me during my first year on campus when I was in the emotional pits. The lady I was seeing at the moment did not understand me, and in a way, she made me feel like I was being misunderstood by the entire world. If you can’t be understood, what next can you do but try to understand yourself first?

That’s how I started writing, and since then, I have never stopped- I just took multiple hiatuses over the years, but I am here now, and you are reading this, no?

Over the years, I have collaborated with a couple of writers, written to a couple of writers, and brainstormed with a couple of writers, and I am glad this has become their home. Since then, Coffee with Lee has not been about me but rather about all the stories the world has yet to hear.

Cheers to more stories and more feelings.

P.S. If you feel misunderstood, feel free to reach out to me at any time through chachalesley18@gmail.com.

P.S.P.S. If I am unavailable, write about your feelings and maybe start a blog. You are here already, and who knows? Maybe someone will be on your page too.

P.S.P.S.P.S. Tell your cat I said hi.


A picture of me being on top of the world.

Chacha Lesley cannot be defined by a single word, but Lee would do. He is an evolution of all the writers he has read, all the dreamers he has watched, all the musicians he has heard, and all the people he has loved.

In his own words

I’m happy, I’m sad, I’m pumped, I’m in my head, I’m logical, I’m in love, I’m heartbroken, I’m just there. Here is where I am. Here is where all that comes to life. My little corner on the internet where I can spitball all I want.

If I ain’t here, I am at coffeewithlee1218@gmail.com.

Not there? I am on Instagram, or Twitter.

By the rarest of chances, I’m still MIA, contact me on Facebook

  • Dating 101!
    For someone who was not in a relationship then, I had some fantastic advice for people in relationships, but I was in over my head, too.
  • The Dishes In My Sink
    Dishes in my sink are just dishes in my sink, and they are, indeed, as shallow as they get.
  • They Don’t Deserve It
    Have they ever laughed at “I swear huwa haiko hivi” or when she told him “Panda kitanda bois” immediately he got home from work? 
  • Corona Woes, Which Way Forward??
    I read this post five years later, and it has just dawned on me that I survived a pandemic! And I was too wise for my age then, but I do not take anything back.
  • Would she…?
    Would she still be alive, or would she be gone again because of another tragedy? I guess I’ll never find my answers, would I?
