January 31st marks Inspire Your Heart with Art Day, a time to celebrate the power of art in all its forms. At Justine PETERSEN, we take this opportunity to highlight a business we’ve had the privilege of assisting—Diversity Gallery, owned by Leslie Christian-Wilson in St. Louis.

For Leslie, art is more than just a form of expression; it is a way of life. From intricate hairstyles to handcrafted jewelry and African-inspired artwork, she channels her creativity into every aspect of her business. Her clients return time and again, not only for her unique artistic vision but also for her commitment to the health of their hair. In addition to hairstyling services, Diversity Gallery offers a range of hair, body, and skin products that promote natural beauty and wellness.

Since opening Diversity Gallery, Leslie has become a pillar of the local business community. She actively consults with other entrepreneurs, provides mentorship, and takes on leadership roles to help strengthen the small business ecosystem. Her talents extend far beyond her shop—she is also a natural hair stylist, fashion and jewelry designer, event planner, motivational speaker, and lifestyle coach.
