Beyond the Ordinary
My journey begins beyond the ordinary—beyond survival, beyond silence, beyond the labels they placed on me. I am not here to fit in. I’m here to awaken what’s been buried, to write what was never written, and to walk in full remembrance of who I am. I carry stories in my blood, visions in my spirit, and fire in my words. This is more than healing. This is legacy. This is prophecy. This is power reclaimed.
I write for my children—Offitch, Naa Gash, N Cha Luk, Fiki Chate, Kowako, and Micco—so they never forget where they come from. I write for my people—the Seminole Nation—so our truths echo louder than history books ever allowed. And I write through Sacred Lady Panther Press, a sovereign space to publish, preserve, and pass down our sacred knowledge, raw healing, and real stories—for the next 7 generations and beyond.
A Brief Summary of My Story
I am Lesley YG Billie, also known as Caché of the Panther Clan. I was born into a world of both struggle and strength—raised between tradition and trauma, between silence and spirit. I’ve walked through addiction, abandonment, and loss, but I never let it define me. Instead, I turned my pain into purpose.
Through healing, prayer, and remembering who I am, I rose. I became a writer, a mother, a teacher, and the founder of Sacred Lady Panther Press. I now dedicate my life to reclaiming our stories, restoring our sacred ways, and inspiring others to rise above the ordinary and walk boldly in their truth.
A Brief Summary of My History
I come from the Seminole Panther Clan, a lineage rooted in resilience, medicine, and spiritual protection. My ancestors survived wars, removal, and resistance. They passed down sacred traditions through stories, chants, and ceremony—not textbooks. I grew up with that blood memory, but like many, I also faced the loss of language, the pull of addiction, and the pain of disconnection.
Still, the fire never left me.
My history is woven with both hardship and holiness. It’s a blend of Seminole, Mexican, and American roots—each strand shaping my identity, voice, and purpose. Through the storms, I returned home—to the land, to the law of the spirits, to the power that lives in our names and our stories.
