About The Author
Randi-Lee was born and raised in
Ontario, Canada and from a young age she had a passion for
helping others. She attended Niagara College and graduated at the top
of her class from Community and Justice Services, after completing her
placement at a recovery house for alcohol and drug addictions. Post-graduation she worked at a
Native Friendship Centre for two and a half years while pursuing a university
education in psychology. Randi-Lee continued working in social services
for another four years as an employment counselor until she
left to pursue her other passions.
Randi-Lee is an author and outspoken advocate for mental health sharing
her true story with honesty. From the age of 14 she struggled with depressive
thoughts. There were times in her life that she wasn’t sure how she would
continue. Depression continues to be a
battle in her life but she is glad that she continues to live. She
has spoken at events that promote wellness and compassionately shares her
experiences with her own mental health. In 2021 she started a YouTube channel,
Write or Die Show, to spread awareness about various mental health issues and
to end the stigma associated with mental health.
Growing up she never felt that she fit in,
being the last to understand jokes and confused about many emotions that she
saw on others. In 2021 she finally had answers to the questions about herself
that had been nagging at her. She was diagnosed with moderate Autism.
Another of Randi-Lee’s
passions is kickboxing, which she has been doing for about 10 years. She
was a Canadian National Champion in kickboxing in 2015, competed at
the World’s kickboxing tournament later that year and in 2016 competed at the
Pan-Am games where she received silver in her division. In 2020 she was
chosen as one of the coaches for the Ontario Winter Games where she inspired
and coached young athletes.
Randi is a mom to two, her youngest child has autism and grandma to one. Randi encourages and supports her youngest child's entrepreneurial spirit as he follows his dream of being an artist. When she can she incorporates his art into her stories.
