Leandra was born and brought up in an orthodox Jewish family in Manhattan. She studied journalism from the New School’s Eugene Lang College.

She continued writing for a year on the blog, and finally decided to launch another blog which we today know as Men Repeller.com. Leandra shares that the idea of the blog came into the picture when she went on a trip with her friend, Rachel Strogatz.
