Leila J. is a Filipino-Iranian-American immigrant. Our national narrative could use a voice like hers. A creative at heart, Leila first wanted to give podcasting a try in 2015, when her supportive husband bought her the equipment after incessantly hearing her say, “I think I can do this.” Like many late bloomers, she wasn’t ready to tap into her potential, so she promptly shoved her Yeti into a drawer until late 2018, when "courage" won over "fear of not pursuing dreams." Maybe you have dreams too. Maybe they're latent. Maybe they're bubbling over. She can't make you do anything but she can tell you about her journey and share those of others and maybe they'll get you closer to where you want to go.
