Conversations with the Inspiring Leaira SouLight

Today we’d like to introduce you to Leaira SouLight.

Leaira, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
My journey started when I came across a point in my life where I felt spiritually stuck. My soul needed to be nourished and fed more of life, peace, and liberation. My spirit knew exactly what it needed, and that’s when I attracted a Master Guru and started my Yoga and Meditation journey. This was also the same time I was introduced to Holistic Health. I manifested everything I needed at that moment to elevate my Spirit and do what I was ordained to do in this Life. I found my purpose, to help people become their best selves by helping them operate at their highest.

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always been active. At the age of ten, I discovered my natural abilities to dance and choreograph. I maintained an active lifestyle throughout the years from dancing, track & field, yoga, exercising, etc. About ten years ago, I started to become more health conscious of what I was consuming so
I transitioned the way I was eating into a plant-based lifestyle, and I now only use natural, alternative remedies focusing on the holistic body.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I’ve come across many challenges along this path, but I wouldn’t choose an easier route if I were given the opportunity because these experiences have tested my willpower and faith- further shaping me into the strong, determined being I am today. It’s worth it. One of the hardships I’ve faced is underrepresentation in the wellness industry. I know I am great at what I do. I can stand amongst the best of the best, but the bridge between a woman of color and our counterparts are narrow. Black Women in Health Matters and young women who inspire to live and lead a healthy life needs to see more of familiarity within the movement.

The best advice I can offer is to show up and give it your best, always. Do what you love and do not compromise your happiness for ANYONE. You are the creator of your reality, and you get to choose your happy. Don’t give anyone the power to declare anything else over your life.
