Daughter, granddaughter, sister, friend, and student are some of the hats that Leah Forney wears. A native of Queens, New York who is currently residing in Maryland writing and speaking came naturally to her. Leah Forney is the oldest girl of six siblings. She grew up without her mother and father raising her. She learned early on the importance of having a relationship with Jesus Christ from her maternal grandmother who raised her in the church.
Leah’s love for writing came at a young age when she would pen poems to release the pain she felt from not having her parents in her life. Never knowing where her writings would take her, Leah penned her first book. Leah has lent her voice in numerous projects from being a sexual assault awareness advocate to acting in her church’s drama ministry. As she continues to accept the calling that God has placed on her life, Leah is open to seeing where her gifts and talents will take her. She released her first book Unapologetically Me: Living, Owning, & Walking in my truth on April 1, 2017. She released her second book Courage to Win: Igniting the Winner within on April 30, 2018.
She has started along side with her close friend Carmen who is now deceased a nonprofit called SAAVE ME which stands for Sexual Assault Advocacy for Victims Everywhere. She can do it all. She has a heart for service. You can follow Leah on many social media sites. Facebook: Leah M.Forney, Instagram: Iamleahmichelle, and Linkedin: Leah Forney

ABOUT THE BOOK: The bond between mother and child is a strong one, but what happens when that connection is complicated by drugs, addiction and mental illness? What becomes of the child whose only desire is to be loved by the mother who abandoned her? And how does that child, now a woman herself, avoid the mistakes her mother made that seemingly come natural to her? In UNAPOLOGETICALLY ME, Leah Forney recounts her personal story of abandonment and redemption to inspire others and teach them that even the painful parts of our lives have a purpose. Moving and gut-wrenchingly honest, Leah offers no sugary solutions to life's tough questions. Instead she presents the truth she learned after years of fruitlessly searching for love in all the wrong places - that only God's love can change you and move you beyond the shame and guilt of your past. Read Leah's story and learn how you too can become unapologetic about who you are and who you were created to be.
