When I met Leslie I had an idea and a very basic prototype. I had no previous experience in engineering or entrepreneurship as my background is in mental health.
Previously, I joined incubators where I felt challenged communicating my product and its value. However when I offered Leslie a prototype, she did not hesitate to try it, and with her feedback, I changed the design in a way that allowed for Barelastics to be approved for a United States patent.
Because of her encouragement, belief, and status, I became a finalist in the lifestyle category at the Women Tech Founders conference and Gala which was the first of many exhilarating environments I was exposed to by her.
I cannot minimize the importance of Leslie (being an African American woman in the engineering space), holding such high respect from engineers, manufacturers, developers, and creatives.
As Leslie McKinney’s client I highly recommend her as a consultant to help innovators and inventors develop and bring their product to market.
