Leticia Ledezma’s young life was full of struggles. Her young dreams of growing up to be a lawyer soon gave way to following her brother into the street life where she remained for the better part of 25 years. Her current bright smile was, for so long covered in drugs and abuse and pain and hopelessness. A continuous cycle of bad relationships and a life that found her booked into jail 40 times, with no idea how to escape what she found a “normal”. Then things changed as she was introduced to The Other Side Academy. Now over 7 years sober and living a great life, describes her transformation where she is full of hope, optimism and purpose. You will love her story.
