What happens when a youthful spirit collides with the world's harsh realities, and the outcome is a beacon of hope? Meet Leah Leonard, an audacious figure outer who dared to shift her lens from the comforts of America to the heart of Tanzania. Embarking on a literal and metaphorical journey, she built a school that has changed countless lives.

Buckle up as we journey with Leah, navigating through her experiences and unpacking the importance of taking a pause, and adopting humility before initiating change. We challenge the traditional narratives around fundraising, moving from a pity-inducing cycle to one of empowerment.

Finally, we explore the essence of leadership and learning in service work, underscoring the need to break away from the hero pedestal. With Leah's insights, we engage in a meaningful conversation about self-reflection, self-trust, and the role of the community in project success. This episode is a call to action - to examine our own lenses, to be mindful, to be inclusive, and above all, to do good work. Join us as we challenge the status quo with Leah Leonard and explore what it means to serve and give back.
