Seattle Stories - Meet Lea, a person experiencing homelessness

Описание: Lea was born in Tacoma, Washington. Being in a military family she experienced a nomadic childhood zigzagging across California. The dynamics shifted when her parents separated, introducing her to two stepsisters from her father's side. Post high school, Lea pursued pre-med at the University of Kansas, but her path took an unexpected turn as she left the academic realm.

For a decade, Lea immersed herself in the vibrant Kansas City music scene, managing local bands and fostering an all-female singer-songwriter group. Despite her success, the lingering dream of music production persisted. Returning to the Pacific Northwest marked a pivotal moment, where she took on the role of a sous chef. Life seemed to stabilize with her own apartment, but the restaurant's financial struggles unraveled her progress, leading to eviction and homelessness.

Undeterred, Lea's tenacity led her to another job in the food industry, only to face another setback, finding herself back again on the unforgiving streets of Seattle. With her steadfast spirit and feline companion, Ninja Kitty, Lea grapples with the challenges of homelessness, hoping to regain her footing and resurrect her passion for music production. This is part of her story.
