"I lead with love by creating a safe, happy home where my kids feel seen, supported, and cheered on every single day."
We would like to thank you for supporting Lekisha Nowling in this year's competition. Your participation made a huge impact for Children’s Miracle Network® and their mission to provide life-saving care and improve the health of children across the country.
For me, it’s the quiet moments of connection. When my child comes to me for comfort or shares a secret, I know I’ve built a foundation of trust. Seeing them use a lesson I taught them—like showing kindness to a friend—is more rewarding than any personal achievement. It’s the knowledge that my love and guidance are shaping a life that will go on to impact the world long after I’m gone."
What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?The biggest lesson is that my heart can live outside my body. It has taught me true selflessness and shifted my entire perspective on what matters. I’ve learned to prioritize the 'big' things—family, health, and happiness—and let go of the small stresses. It has shown me that I am much stronger than I ever gave myself credit for, especially on the hardest days."
What would you do with $20,000?I’d use it to pay off some family expenses, but also to start a small local project or business I’ve dreamed of that supports other moms. I’d also set aside a small 'recharge' fund, because a happy, rested mom is a Super Mom!"
