Born with a broken heart, Baltimore native Lee Swann climbs the ladder in an unforgiving and unbalanced corporate world and triumphs over mental health conditions stemming from child abuse in a strict religious household. She shares important intersectional work and life lessons and provides motivation to harness once-stifled gifts.

Only with self-love did the real self-work begin, when Lee successfully navigated her first real long-term relationship and career. It took a village to help reprogram and mold her into a stronger individual, and there is no lack of authenticity in her story.

Authenticity Insurance brings a conversational approach to how people can be leaders of their own lives, no matter their past, family pathology, career setting, or age. Through a lens focusing on intention, relationships, endurance, and more, we explore a philosophy of transformational leadership that applies to anyone.

Authenticity is achieved when we write our own success stories. 

Lee Swann, author of My Black Man Is: A Love Like No Other, without any fancy letters or degrees behind her name, took her experience across restaurant, retail, emergency services/public safety, insurance, security, and healthcare to rise from frontline employee to leader and entrepreneur. With over twenty internal awards to her name, over twenty years of public speaking experience, over fifteen years of writing experience, and a passion for mental health awareness, Lee Swann is an emerging voice in the literary world, with a heart attuned to developing talent and bringing out the superpower in everyone. When not crafting stories, you can find her immersed in the rhythms of poetry and music, exploring culinary creations, finding balance through fitness, or spending time with her partner.
