Teaching Acceptance with Leila Kubesch

F50Woman: Because We're Not Done Yet

“A noted TEDx Speaker, author of Ohio House Bill 50, she was a daughter of poverty in a country where expectations of young women like her was low, but she wanted more, she wanted to learn. When she came to the United States the compassion of her teachers affected her so much that she would eventually become a teacher and live a life of compassion. Come in and listen to Leila Kubesch’s story, how the idea of “never having lunch alone” moved her outside her box and completely changed life. Come and hear a wealth of amazing advice from this learned, loving, and wise F50Woman.”
