Lu, also known as a writer under her pseudonym Leila Reed, was born in a small European country town. She was raised by a pharmacist mother and a mechanic father. She always had goals for her future such as becoming a doctor or a veterinarian. After her high school graduation, her life’s path lead to Louisiana, United States, where her true identity emerged and life-changing moments took place. She had dreams that she worked hard to reach, but life took unexpected turns and brought her back to her true passion—storytelling, script writing and poetry. Since she was a child, she has had an artistic talent for reaching out to people, listening, learning, knowing people true intentions, speaking the truth, wearing her heart on her sleeve, and bringing the imaginary world into reality. Her life struggles and obstacles have been an inspiration to her first and newest published memoir Burst Your Bubble, that introduces the world to the true reality that people refuse to think and talk about.
