Leslie Morgan Steiner
Leslie Morgan Steiner is a bestselling author and member of the One Love Foundation National Advisory Council. The One Love Foundation was established in 2010 by Sharon and Lexie Love, as well as additional family and friends to honor the memory of Yeardley Reynolds Love. The “One” represents the number Yeardley wore on her jersey during her high school and college lacrosse career. The number has since been retired by the University of Virginia in her memory. Steiner’s connection with relationship violence is a personal one; her own life experiences inspired her New York Times bestseller and upcoming Lifetime television movie Crazy Love. Steiner is a frequent speaker about family violence as a celebrity board member for the National Domestic Violence Hotline, a member of Liz Claiborne’s MADE council, and a former spokeswoman for The Harriet Tubman Center in Minneapolis, the country’s oldest shelter for abused women and children.
