| Lenina Close |
|
Lenina Close has a graduate degree in Psychology. However, the larger part of her education has come through her diverse life experience. She grew up in a small Amish town in Indiana, served in the Army, spent several years working in a federal prison, and has been a singer in a band. She, too, has been active in the liberty movement for years. She is an original member of “Liberty on the Rocks” and contributes to the Peoples’ Press Collective. She is an active participant in the Independence Institute, and a 2007 graduate of the Leadership Program of the Rockies. Lenina was a speaker at both the April 15, 2009 Tea Party at the Capitol, and the July 4, 2009 Tea Party in Arvada.
It is the general consensus that she gave the best, and most inspiring, speech at the tax day event. Lenina is passionate about leadership and believes that the greatest gifts we give others are the tools to live productive, purpose-filled, independent lives and the confidence to overcome adversity. In addition to her partnership with Dave Williams in the Gadsden Society, she currently operates Pink Panther Consulting. |
