Leslie Kent is the owner of Wren, a home décor and lifestyle boutique she opened in 2024. As a mother to six children — including two little girls — four dogs, and two cats, Leslie brings warmth, authenticity, and a sense of humour to her work and her life.

Inspired by the many women entrepreneurs who paved the way before her, Leslie relied on the mentorship and guidance of her WESK advisor, Alauna Whelan, to help bring her dream to life through a thoughtful business plan and loan process.

A big part of Leslie’s mission is to show her daughters that women can take risks, be strong, brave, and successful — and that it’s okay to try something even if it might fail. She describes entrepreneurship as an emotional rollercoaster of stress, joy, disappointment, and elation, but above all, an incredible gift. Every day, she feels grateful to live her dream and help others find joy in a slower, more intentional way of living.
