"Looking back, I realise that if I didn't join Soul Purpose 360, I don't know where I'd be now."
Leah's Story
Leah came to Soul Purpose 360 after a long period of health and personal challenges including isolation and a lack of confidence in her own abilities.
The Turning Point
Joining Soul Purpose 360 Croydon has benefited me in many ways. It has given me the confidence (I never knew I had) to be brave and reach out to people who can help me further my career goals. It has made me feel seen, heard and understood when given the chance to take part in a focus groups and zoom discussions.
The in-person events have helped me make new friends. I meet with other women in our own time to offer emotional support, exchange ideas and swap skills, as a way of supporting each other to reach our full personal and professional potentials.
● Found her voice and talent
Leah is now called Caribbean artist and Storyteller. I have met other artists and community activists, all encouraging me and supporting me to do so.
● Moving towards getting her book published
After several knock-backs, Leah has found a publisher within the Black Women's Networking & Empowerment Circle.
● A Life Transformed
Recovering from severe illnesses and life challenges that resulted in loneliness and isolation, Leah has found her tribe - a supportive network of Black women who encourage and enable her to fulfil her aspirations and she is making strides!!
The Outcome
Using her lived experience as the driver, Leah has gone on to create lasting changes in her life.
