We've come so far in 2 years!! There's so much we haven't yet discussed and we will probably never run out of things to talk about when it comes to Lea because we love her so much. What's not to love?

Her love of the Bronx warms my heart. She's so proud to be from New York. Her support of animals is amazing especially, horses. Her laughter is a sound I will never get out of my head. She supports animal rights. She teaches it's ok to be different. She supports gay and lesbian rights, and she's a beauty. Her warm personality. Her angelic voice. She’s a strong and confident woman. Her smile, that brightens up my day every day. How she inspires people to feel good about themselves. How mutli-talented she is, singer, dancer, actress and Lea is so amazing at them all. What a kind, loving, thoughtful, generous spirit she has. How no matter what anyone says she has gone after her dream and achieved so much. Her personality, her talent, her self confidence, and how she’s always the bigger person, no matter how many people want to bring her down. Her style, her voice, her legs and her personality.

I would tell 17-year-olds to be proud of who you are. Don’t try to change yourself for others. Focus on school and your future. Boys and friends will come and go, just focus on you and your future.

I’ve always felt good about myself, that is to say, I’ve always felt beautiful, but I didn’t necessarily think other people thought I was beautiful. Glee opened my eyes. That’s what’s so great about the show, it includes all different types of beauty.

If you believe in yourself, you can make your self, whatever you want to be!





When I first heard those references used towards me, I found it incredibly
hurtful. I’m a girl who knows what she wants. I am outspoken. I am strong
and I think that sometimes a strong woman with an opinion is called a diva.
If a man is strong and opinionated, he’s considered powerful, but if you’re a
woman, it’s regarded negatively.
