Ready to transform, create, and world build together?

For over 4 years, Leila has provided excellent community facilitation to youth and adults.

She uses restorative justice and transformative justice frameworks to create healing spaces centering QTBIPOC dignity, identity, history, and joy.

Leila has brought her work to countless fields—unlocking creativity and relationship building in New York City public schools, refugee camps, academic settings, non-profits, and so many more.
