The Multi-Talented Lunden De'Leon

Colin Powell once said, “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work.”

- Abena Boateng

These words best describe the adored actress Lunden De’Leon, as she never gave up focusing on her dreams, which led her to much success. Starring in over 50 different films and being an entrepreneur, De’Leon is the epitome of hard work paying off. Born in Barbados and raised in South Carolina, De’Leon didn’t let her past of living in poverty affect her future. Residing right down the block from the projects, her dad was her inspiration to continue to strive for greatness. Although they didn’t have much, he always made sure there was food on the table and made sure she always had faith in Christ. “I wasn’t going to let where I came from dictate where I was going,” De’Leon says.
