Coming from an underprivileged background, Leah is most passionate about addressing teen pregnancy in her community. For her Rise project, Leah worked on spreading awareness among teenagers about sexual and reproductive health, trans healthcare and domestic abuse. In the future, she hopes to continue making an impact on her community and the world at large. In 2017, Leah won a scholarship through the Kucetekela Foundation to study at her secondary education. She has also participated in the selective Yale Young African Scholars program.
