From Empowered Graduates...
The Empowered Program with Leah has given me all of the missing pieces of information I lacked with other teacher trainings. I felt the entire program was beautiful and cohesive and surpasses other YTT programs I attended.
Leah is an articulate and organized teacher who has clearly thought out the contents of the Empowered Program to give students a well-rounded education. She is just a beautiful and gifted teacher.

The EMPOWERED training was a life-changing experience. It helped me find and own my power. It helped me heal, so I can truly be of service to others. My teachers Leah and Shelby are incredibly humble, kind, and funny, and they helped me see my own light.
