Leigh Battle’s September Updates, Exciting News & Medicare Prep
Hi, friends!
I hope you have had a great summer as we look ahead to a beautiful fall season in Richmond.
As seniors, it’s important to do what we can to maintain our health as we age. This includes maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, reducing stress, following a preventive care and screening schedule, and more.
I love helping my clients navigate all of their Medicare choices, Medicare Advantage, Medicare supplements, hospital indemnity, and other needs. As always, I’m here for you and am happy to answer any questions you have.
Have a great Healthy Aging Month, friends!
🎉 I’ve Been Recognized as a 2026 Honoree!
100 Women of Color Virginia Gala
I am truly honored and grateful to be recognized as a 2026 100 Women of Color Virginia Honoree!
For more than 40 years, I have had the privilege of serving families as a Realtor throughout the Richmond community—helping my clients find homes, build brighter futures, navigate important decisions, and make connections that can change their lives.
Along the way, I’ve learned that some of the most meaningful things we accomplish aren’t measured by awards or titles, but by the people we encourage, the doors we help open, and the difference we make for the generations coming behind us. That is one of the reasons this recognition means so much to me.
The 100 Women of Color Gala & Awards 2026: Virginia celebrates women from across the state who are making an impact through business, education, entrepreneurship, public service, and their communities. Even more importantly, the event helps support scholarships, leadership opportunities, and mentorship programs for young women of color.
I am so thankful for the family, friends, clients, colleagues, and community members who have supported and encouraged me throughout the years. So many people have been part of my journey, and I share this honor with all of you. May we continue using our experiences, our voices, and our opportunities to help pave the way for the next generation.
