About Us
As founders of A Leader Like Me, we dreamed of the opportunity to help future leaders like us build courage; stand up to real and perceived barriers and take advantage of the future opportunities. We realized that as much as we experiences challenges on the outside, we needed to change our narrative on the inside. A Leader Like Me is where our passions and purpose align. We want to build a community that provides encouragement, support and strength.
