We sat down to catch up on everything she’s been building and fighting for. Hit that share button and let's get into it! The Content House & Spooky Treats Leah is always hustling, even right after recovering from a minor medical procedure. The Content House: Co-hosted with Maui Mike around November 22nd or 23rd, this is a safe networking space for models, artists, and realtors. It features workshops, portfolio building, and even onsite lip fillers. Spooky Treats: Leah went to school for extraction and cultivation, creating incredible THC drinks, gummies, and nerd ropes. I tried them myself, and let me tell you, they had me exploring the pyramids right from my couch! Fighting for the Vulnerable We didn’t just keep it light; we got into some serious real talk about injustices happening right now. Leah is the legal guardian for her mother and spoke out aggressively against severe neglect in nursing homes, where residents paying $5,000 a month are left in urine-soaked wheelchairs. She urged people to do random pop-up visits to keep facilities accountable and to utilize state ombudsman numbers.

Surveillance & Data: Leah shared concerns about massive data centers moving into neighborhoods, causing noise pollution and draining water resources while the public ignores local elections. The Youth: She challenged parents to stop using tablets to babysit, noting that kids are losing basic skills like counting change.
