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

  • 2024: When We Became Unbwogwable, Again.
    Every time we made progress, we were chased back, and every time we were chased back, we chased them back. For a moment, that was the fun part of it: a tug of war between the oppressed and the oppressors, knowing that the oppressor’s time was coming to an end.
  • I Want to Do Nothing 
    I have some convincing arguments in my self-diagnosis, and I’m curious: which fits the bill?
  • A Mile Away
    Kemunto had been accused of being a witch only once in her life, and it almost took her life away from her. That was twenty years ago.
  • The “F” Word – Friends
    A “best” friend means you shift all the expectations and all of the love and support from a community of friends and move it into one person.
  • Shame Needs To Change Sides!
    This isn’t just a women’s issue. When half the population lives this way, it’s a macro problem. Shame, indeed, needs to change sides.
