ABOUT THE PRESENTER …..
Leslie Wagner-Wilson, one of eleven Black survivors, escaped Jonestown the morning of the massacre on November 18,1978 by walking more than 30 miles to a nearby town with her 3 year old son. Within the next 2 days she would find out that her entire family have been killed. Today, she uses her experience to help others find strength, faith, and purpose in their own struggles. Through her speaking engagements and written work (especially her 2009 memoir Slavery of Faith), Leslie continues to inspire audiences worldwide with her message of hope, resilience, and the transformative power of faith and forgiveness. https://lesliewagnerwilson.org/
