Leah McSweeney is a streetwear pioneer, female entrepreneur, cultural provocateur, and mother of 13-year-old Kier living in New York City. Leah famously launched Married to the Mob in 2004, one of the first streetwear brands for women, by women. She created her brand as a response to the male-dominated streetwear scene of the time, proving women could be innovators, designers, and consumers in the space. Since launching, she has brokered exclusive partnerships with MCM, Kangol, Barbie, Colette Paris, Reebok, and Nike. 

When she is not building her empire, Leah is a contributor to Penthouse Magazine, Hypebae and Mass Appeal. She also brought her strong female voice and viewpoint to her podcast, Improper Etiquette. Leah continues to advocate for female empowerment, street culture, and creative entrepreneurship, and leans into lifestyle topics like health, fitness, and breaking the stigma around mental health. 

Always inspired to elevate her life, Leah recently settled into a new apartment and welcomed a furry friend to her family, and she is currently embarking on a journey to convert to Judaism.
