About Lesley Henderson-Sanders
Visionary. Connector. Transformer.
As the founder and CEO of Seven21 Designs, Lesley Henderson-Sanders transforms entrepreneurial visions into thriving realities. With over 15 years of dynamic business experience, Lesley has established herself as a trusted consultant who excels at building meaningful relationships and guiding clients from concept to success.
Lesley's professional journey began in the multi-family housing industry, where she managed over 1,500 properties and consistently increased Net Operations Income (NOI) by 3% month-over-month. As a leader in her company's repositioning unit, she spearheaded the transformation of distressed assets, creating significant value for both the company and its clients. This experience equipped her with extensive expertise in people management, time management, fair housing, client retention, marketing, and social media strategies—skills that now drive her clients' success at Seven21 Designs.
Beyond her consulting work, Lesley is the Founder, President, and Board Member of Melanin Fitness Nation (formerly Melanin Crossfitters), a wellness community focused on promoting healthy living within the Black community. Since beginning her personal CrossFit journey in 2014, Lesley has built a supportive environment offering tailored training programs, group classes, and community events that foster connection and achievement.
Lesley is also an accomplished writer and published poet whose work has appeared in regional publications including Voyage ATL. Originally from Cincinnati and an alumna of Auburn University Montgomery, she has called Atlanta home since 2014. Lesley resides in Conyers with her wife, Reese, and their fur baby, Milo. Despite managing three businesses, she makes time for yoga, spin classes, expanding her sneaker collection, writing her second book, and traveling to all-inclusive resorts with loved ones.
Through Seven21 Designs and Melanin Fitness Nation, Lesley continues to embody her core mission: building dreams, connecting communities, and turning aspirations into achievements through genuine relationships and unwavering dedication.
