True leadership takes resilience. Just ask our guest, Jesse Leon. Now a Social Impact Consultant & author of the book, "I'm Not Broken", he had to overcome his experience being trafficked as a young sex worker. Jesse shares what it took for him to bounce back from that trauma, learn how to accept himself, and how finding and creating community in NYC played a key role in finding his voice as a leader. 

Episode Note: Our host CitizensNYC CEO Dr. Rahsaan Harris was inspired by our founder Osborn Elliot’s book Men at the Top (Harper, 1959). In it, Elliot studies the attitudes and ambitions of leaders at the top, after he interviewed over 200 top U.S. executives. Stay tuned for the next chapter of the series as we explore what leadership looks today.
