Her projects are reflections of her in some shape or form it is important that she showcases black women and their stories as she feels it is important for their voices to be heard and for them to be represented in a world that often dismisses them and doesn’t see their beauty. She often uses bright bold and contrasting colours all the colours they tried to keep black people away from she is always looking at the contrast of the skin with the colour and how much it complements the imagery she creates.

LeShaun’s projects are to get black women to be the forefront of a lot if not all creative spaces as she feel it is important for them to be represented. Using black women in her work as they are extremely unrepresented in magazines, fashion media and film so she makes them her heroines.
