Learning to Lead, Learning to Follow, and Radical Social Work w/ Sarah Leanne Hart
Show Notes

Sarah Leanne Hart is a lot of incredible things all wrapped up in one very ripped and very caffeinated package! An accomplished pro climber, MEC Ambassador, facilitator, public speaker, student of radical social work, globetrotter, and coffee enthusiast! The latter being the magic elixir that makes all the former possible. In our conversation, we traverse the peaks and valleys of Sarah's life, and clip the following bolts: 

  • Managing an injury AND a multifaceted, busy schedule 
  • The personal challenges that led Sarah toward embracing Feminism and how she works towards equity for women
  • Sarah's dedication to empowering teenage girls through the Learning to Lead program (Minerva Foundation)
  • The transformation from "white" Feminism to Intersectional, inclusive Feminism
  • Working on her Bachelor's Degree in RADICAL social work 
  • Navigating post-colonized systems, and the valuable learning coming from Indigenous communities
  • The importance of critical thinking and humility as we move through the complexities of the world 

So excited to share this chat with you.
