meet the author

Leah Coleman is a mother, minister, author, and entrepreneur from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She currently resides in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, with her two boys, Noah and Frederick. Writing has been a part of her life since childhood. At the age of eleven, she developed a love for words and found joy in writing novelettes, plays, songs, and scripts. This love would soon transition her over to the world of music and theater. She attended the Maggie Flannigan Conservatory in New York City, New York, where she studied Meisner Method Acting.  While performing on various stages throughout the US, she had no idea that God was using those experiences to prepare and position her for the biggest stage she’d ever step foot on, the pulpit.

​

In June of 2020, she launched “Crowned & Covered” a faith-based lifestyle and Apparel brand, focused on spreading the Gospel through apparel and lifestyle products. “Crowned & Covered” quickly became an evangelizing platform with a reach that stretches throughout the Mid-Atlantic area, and a “Relationship Over Religion” message that echoes the importance of having a deeply rooted relationship with Christ. She delivered her first full sermon in March 2021 entitled, "Stay Planted". In January 2022, she became an ordained pastor and associate minister at The Church Philly Inc. in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she currently serves in the outreach ministry.  

 

It was while serving at The Church Philly, that the Lord called her to write and publish her first book, “Stay Planted: It All Comes Out In The Wash",  which will be available in early January 2023. “Stay Planted” is a Holy Spirit-led manuscript filled with intimate testimonies, scripture, and prayer. It is a great resource and tool that helps you pursue wholeness through healing while staying firmly planted on the words of God. Empowering women and men to thrive forward boldly and unapologetically in their divine purpose.

 

Leah enjoys watching movies with her boys, cooking, and taking long road trips. However, there is nothing she enjoys more than sleeping in on a beautiful, rainy day.
