Today we’d like to introduce you to Lesly Barnette.
Hi Lesly, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I’ve always operated with a sense of urgency in everything I do, striving to be the best. However, I knew that pursuing something I was truly passionate about was crucial for the life I wanted to lead. Growing up in poverty honed my improvisational skills, which have proven beneficial in my current endeavors. This background has helped me in working with clients and bringing their visions to life.
I initially assisted my husband in developing his personal brand, which inadvertently led me to establish my own. This experience instilled in me the confidence to build successful brands. Subsequently, I pondered on creating opportunities for those seeking them, which inspired the inception of my social media marketing agency.
Our agency operates as a full-service entity dedicated to managing and enhancing your online presence, allowing you to concentrate on your core strengths. Our methodology revolves around a genuine understanding of your vision, crafting brands that authentically represent you. We prioritize building trust with our clients, empowering them to be as hands-off as they desire.
The reason for our existence lies in our profound love for our clients, the art of our work, and the journey we embark on together. Our clients are the cornerstone of our operations, and their triumphs define our own success. We uphold the values of craftsmanship, showcasing our commitment to excellence and expertise in what we create. The journey symbolizes our continuous pursuit of growth, learning, and evolution.
Moreover, we have excelled in designing remarkable logos and graphics, some of which have even been featured on the storefronts of retail establishments.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I believe that new paths always come with obstacles and challenges, but it’s important to remember that no challenge is insurmountable. It’s all about navigating through them and emerging stronger on the other side, as each challenge presents an opportunity for further learning.
In this business venture, the primary struggle has been the ongoing process of learning and staying ahead of the curve. However, I wouldn’t necessarily categorize this as a struggle. I maintain an optimistic and positive mindset, viewing every obstacle as a chance for personal growth. I once heard a story emphasizing that nothing is entirely negative, and that perspective has deeply resonated with me. Therefore, instead of seeing struggles as setbacks, I view them as opportunities to acquire new knowledge.

What were you like growing up?
Growing up, my childhood was shaped by the challenges of being raised by a single, hardworking mother due to my parents’ separation. Despite the difficulties, I credit my mother for instilling in me a strong sense of responsibility and resilience. I often retreated into my own imaginative world, which some might attribute to the challenges I faced. However, I believe this nurtured my creativity and helped me develop a unique perspective that benefits me today.
As a child, I had a strong, independent personality, feeling capable of managing things on my own, likely stemming from the early responsibilities I shouldered. I harbored dreams of becoming a model or a public figure, influenced by songs like “When I Grow Up” by the Pussycat Dolls. Alongside these aspirations, I was also quite tomboyish, enjoying sports and roughhousing with my boy cousins.
Ultimately, my upbringing has empowered me to pursue my ambitions authentically, free from the constraints of others’ opinions. It set the stage for the person I have grown into, enabling me to stay true to myself and follow my chosen path without external influence.
