Leigh-Ann, was born alongside a heavens worth of expectations; it was her burden to bear.

Everyone would say that she was the perfect princess : an ace student, beautiful, graceful, elegant, sophisticated, born with wealth, successful and above all humble, kind and respectful.

But behind the curtains of her little stage, where she pretends to be the perfect princess, which many would like to call Life, lies her imperfections, her insecurities, her vulnerable state, and her best kept secret.

"She would grow up as successful as our whole family"

"She would be our perfect little princess"

"She would be a beautiful and kind girl"

"She would be the envy of women, and the desire of men"

Leigh-Anns childhood revolves around these phrases, thus resulting to a tantamount of pressure and a life motto.

'I must not disappoint.'
