Actor. Model. Athlete.

Creator. Caregiver.

I am Lesia.

Spelled Lesia, pronounced Lasha. Consider this your first casting note.

Toronto-based and represented by Carolyn’s Model & Talent, I work across acting, commercial, lifestyle, fashion and digital content. But the story started long before the camera.

In 2023, I weighed 321 pounds. I changed my life, lost 150 pounds, rebuilt my strength and transformed my body completely naturally — no GLP-1s, no shortcuts. By 2025, that transformation had taken me somewhere I never expected: into modeling and acting.

Today, I am the woman behind lalabeme — where fashion, fitness, performance, reinvention and an unapologetic love of statement eyewear all meet.

I bring strength, discipline, humour, life experience and presence to every project. I train hard, dress with instinct and show up prepared, curious and fully myself.

My motivation is simple: keep creating, keep evolving and keep challenging the idea that women should become less visible as they get older. Style has no age limit, presence has no expiration date.

This isn’t a second act. It’s the main event.
