The Full Story
About
Lee Perreira's life is a testament to resilience and transformation. Despite a challenging start with a fatherless upbringing and a mother struggling with addiction, Lee overcame adversity through music. His journey, marked by addiction, multiple arrests, and the tragic loss of his brother, took a pivotal turn in prison where he discovered a passion for running and completed his first marathon. This achievement sparked his commitment to community service and led to the founding of his non-profit, 16x16inc.
Since his release, Lee has devoted himself to giving back, using his experiences as an author and motivational speaker to inspire others. Supported by his partner, Serenity Risvik, Lee continues to make a positive impact through his work, showing that it is never too late to change one’s path and create a brighter future.
Lee's Life story will be released in his upcoming book "From Prison To Purpose."
