Episode 7: Lesa Kastanas

Donna and Rachel are friends who aren't afraid to ask questions, laugh loudly, obsess freely and covet vintage items. The pair created the Smart Mouth Life Podcast to celebrate women who run their mouths and the world. Today's episode features Lesa Kastanas, writer, entrepreneur, and local institution.

Lesa Kastanas is a Plaza Midwood advocate, a passionate Charlottean, a Bitter Southerner, and a totally random freelance writer. She’s the social media mistress and partner at CLTCH and the de facto Marketing and Communications Director of Soul Gastrolounge & Diamond Restaurant. Lesa spent 20 years as an IT professional in banking, software and higher education, through no real ambition of her own, and is a graduate of Queens College (University). A vocal supporter of Planned Parenthood and the Regional AIDS Interfaith Network (RAIN), Lesa is one of the founders and Committee Chair of Condom Couture Charlotte. She is the wife of restauranteur Andy Kastanas and the mother of Alex.
