she attended Northumberland Park Community School while her brother relocated to Europe.

In 2019, when she won the Bafta Rising Star Award, Leticia said during her acceptance speech, “I identify myself as a child of God and I can’t get up here without thanking God. A few years ago I saw myself in a deep state of depression and I literally wanted to quit acting. The only thing that pulled me out of it was God, my belief, my faith and my family…”
