Name: McKenzleigh “Lee” Johnson
Age: 17
Date of Birth: March 20, 2003
Residence: 117 Nowhere Lane, 85271
Relationship status: Single
Family Life: Mother: Laura-Anne (Mom, 43), Maxwell (Dad, 49)
McKenzleigh lives with her mother and father in Mesa, Arizona. She is 17 and goes to Mountain View High School. She uses Canvas every day to help with her school work, and this is how she saw the Open Letter. Lee has a rough relationship with her parents. Laura-Anne and Maxwell are extremely conservative, while Lee has diverged from her parent’s strict religious beliefs and has become radically liberal, which has led to extreme tension with her parents. Lee’s parents belong to an intensely religious church, and ever since Lee refused to go to church 3 times a week as her parents requested, they have put her on lockdown. Her phone, laptop, and tablet have all been taken away, and she rarely, if ever allowed to see her friends. The only internet usage that her parents allow is her school-issued computer. This is her escape. She is able to watch what she wants to when she wants to and using her school computer, she was able to purchase a secret phone. Using this phone, she has become a vocal activist on social media, and she advocates for social equality on her anonymous Twitter account.
When she was 14 she chose to cut her long brown hair into a bob around ears, another act of rebellion. Along with her brown hair, she has another method of rebellion on her body, a nose ring. Both of these decisions enraged her parents and got her put on lockdown for weeks. In the future, Lee wants to pursue politics. She has a light of fury sparked in her, and she hopes to use it to impact real change in the United States. When she is able to leave the house she enjoys going to see movies. At the movies, Lee can escape from the frustrations of her life, and the oppressive rule of her parents. This escapism is one of the things that she holds most dear, and whenever she has a chance, she makes a beeline for the movie theatre.
Lately, Lee hasn’t been able to go to the movie theatre at all. She’s been noticing her parents are constricting her every movement, and keeping her from seeing anyone at all. Lee is now forced to go to a church activity every day, always escorted by a senior member of the church. She is forced by her parents to follow a strict schedule every day, and she is locked in the basement when she fails to meet this schedule to the T. She has been using this to her advantage though, as she has been slowly chipping away at the window in the basement. Every time she is sent down she slowly breaks off more and more of the glass, in hopes that one day she will be able to break free.
