Leslie Dabit volunteers at Maison St-Raphaël for one to two shifts a week, mainly on Monday or Tuesday mornings. She divides her time between the care unit and the kitchen, two spaces that, for her, are connected by the same fundamental act: caring for others. At Maison St-Raphaël, her days take different forms depending on the needs. In the care unit, she supports the healthcare staff in carrying out their tasks while also being available to offer attentive listening to patients. In the kitchen, she helps prepare meals. In both settings, she experiences a similar sense of connection, a link to the body and to care, whether she is accompanying someone or preparing food to nourish them. For Leslie, these gestures, simple as they may seem, carry deep meaning.
Her career is marked by a wide range of experiences. She has completed several training programs related to the arts and culture in France, particularly in festival and event planning. She has also completed training to become a bookseller. For about ten years now, Leslie has been working in the film industry. She worked for eight years at an independent film production company before going independent in recent years. While she continues to work in this field, she is currently in a period of reflection, driven by a desire for change.
