Description: Lesra Martin was once an inner city kid dismissed by society. He rose from a poorly educated Brooklyn teen to a highly respected attorney. Lesra Martin's secret is he believes that neither your intellect nor your circumstances will ultimately detemine your success in life; that the real key to success lies in our ability to make a commitment to ourselves and then to fulfill that promise--page 4 of cover.
