Born a twin in low-income Liberty City in Miami, Florida, Les and his twin
brother, Wes, were adopted when they were six weeks old by Mrs. Mamie Brown,
a single woman who had very little education and financial means, but a
very big heart. As a child his inattention to school work, his restless
energy and the failure of his teachers to recognize his real potential
resulted in him being misaligned as a slow learner. The label and the stigma
stayed with Les damaging his self-esteem to such an extent that it took
several years to overcome.
Les has had no formal education past high school, but with persistence
and determination he has initiated and continued a process of unending
self-education which has distinguished him as an authority on human potential.

and others helped him to achieve greatness. He rose from a hip-talking
morning dee-jay to broadcast manager; from community activist to community
leader, from political commentator to 3-term legislator.
