Keep the Poppy On FAQs

Who are you?

My name is Leesa Barnes and I'm a podcaster, author and speaker. Although I have 12-years experience in the technology and own my own technology company, I graduated with a degree in History and have always had an interest in preserving our stories.

Why are you doing this?

I'm on a quest to get people to wear their red poppies all year round, well after November 11th. What started out as a personal mission has now expanded to include others, like you, because they say strength is in numbers.

What's your connection to the red poppy?

Listen to the 3 reasons why I'm doing this here.

So, I just wear my red poppy after November 11th, then come here and tell you about it?

Yes, it's that simple (I feel like I'm selling a tummy cruncher on late night TV). Don't take off your poppy and anytime you have an interesting conversation about it, come back here and tell us about it on this page.

Can I contact you for my article/podcast/interview?

Of course! Email is the quickest. Send an email to leesa dot barnes @ gmail dot com. Or, call me at 647-225-3792.

What can I do to help you spread the word?

Alot. Check out this page for ideas.
