ABOUT MARLESA
Inspirational Speaker & Recording Artist
Hey there!
I’m Marlesa.
A little bit about me.
I love Jesus, my family, and I love sharing the message of hope and joy in the midst of real life. “Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” -Isaiah 40:30-31 (NIV)
