About Natalie R. Legrand

Born with sickle cell disease, Natalie R. Legrand has lived her life transforming limitation into leadership. By age four, she had lost most of her hearing, and later the sight in one eye — experiences that shaped her courage, clarity, and compassion. An Afro-Latina with roots in Honduras and Haiti, and a former Peace Corps volunteer in Ukraine, she has dedicated her life to building bridges across cultures and communities.

As Founder of The Nourished Leader™, Natalie helps leaders move from depletion to nourishment through capacity, clarity, and courage. Her work spans 30+ countries, with partnerships including IBM, SAP, and the United Nations Development Program. She serves on the Sickle Cell Advisory Board at Atrium Health and the ICF Charlotte Chapter Board, advancing health equity and coaching excellence.

Recognized as one of Charlotte’s Women to Know in 2025, Natalie embodies a new vision for leadership—rooted in wholeness, resilience, and purpose.
