Hey! I am Leslie!
…also known as Frizzy, or my favorite nickname “TeeTee LeeLee.” Born and raised in St. Louis, MO. If I had to choose one word to describe me, it would be passionate. I am passionate about family and friends, empowering women, and inspiring my community.
My late mother, Michelle Flowers, is the motivating force behind my will for change, growth and spreading love. The pain of losing my mother turned into my passion, which led to my purpose. I found my purpose through Frizzy By Nature and Frizz Fest. Being able to impact and support the community in which I live and love so dearly, is such an amazing feeling. Black women deserve to feel safe, seen, and celebrated and it’s my mission to create those spaces and aid in providing resources that do just that. Frizzy By Nature is the vessel that allows us to do our part in making the world around us a better place.

This is Jesse Alex!
…turned his pain into purpose when he co-founded Dear Fathers, the premiere media platform dedicated to telling stories of black fatherhood. After growing up without a Father, he realized something was missing as he never saw what it looked like to be a man first hand throughout his childhood. While searching for something within, a passion was formed that led him to creating a safe space for men and fathers to share their stories, gain resources, and find community within black fatherhood and manhood.
With 15 years of experience in Marketing, Partnerships, Social Media, and Branding, Jesse now serves as the Chief Marketing and Branding Officer for Dear Fathers, playing a key role in spearheading the the growth and development of largest social media platform for black fatherhood while executing partnerships and events that create safe spaces for men, fathers, and families across the United States.
“I’m excited to be a part of something so impactful for the black community and being able to collaborate with friends whom I’ve watched grow and build it from the ground up. Frizz Fest is one of the largest events of its kind, and I’m happy to help play whatever role needed to see it thrive, even more!”
