    I had the pleasure of seeing Leslie in his Off Broadway Show "My Trip Down the Pink Carpet" in 2010. He is a masterful storyteller and kept the audience in the palm of his hand. He is a treat.

    Love this man. I live within walking distance of Leslie Allan Jordan Way in Chattanooga, named in his honor, in front of the Community Theater.💕

    Leslie has such a sweet bright humble spirit i don't think he realizes how incredibly talented and gifted he truly is and the magnitude of his stardom. He is an ICON !
