The Secret Life of Lele Pons

They say it takes a village and lucky for Lele, she has a strong support team who helps her through each day allowing her to flourish in her career yet always put working on herself first. With the recent onset of motor and vocal tics, Lele acknowledges that what she experienced as a 11 year old is now back and she is challenged both personally and professionally living with Tourette Syndrome.

Battling internet bullying and dealing with thousands of negative comments daily, Lele feels the weight of the world on her shoulders while she deals with a hectic schedule, music demands and faces heartbreak in her homeland of Venezuela. Overcoming criticism and backlash, Lele prioritizes her humanitarian efforts over hate while taking center stage in a global crisis.

After years of self reflection and therapy, Lele takes full responsibility and owns up to a big mistake that cost her a friendship and almost her career. Opening up about the pain from that situation and the lessons learned, Lele continues to work through her mental health treatments and commitment to getting better each day. During this humbling process, Lele finds hope in a new friendship with Comedian/TV Host, Howie Mandel, who not only shares similar mental health struggles but is an inspiration and example of how coping with these conditions is not only possible but shows you can be highly successful in doing so.

Living with OCD was challenging before. But now, with a global health crisis underway, Lele needs to work harder than ever to stay afloat and productive.
