We are excited to introduce the 2024\u20132025 Fellows!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Leah, is a proud Coloradan by heart. Her knack for encountering quirky suitors\u2014like the man who took her to buy a gun rack on a first date\u2014earned her a monthly dating column in a women\u2019s magazine, launching her freelance writing career. Since then, her work has graced the pages of publications like \u201cMarie Claire,\u201d \u201cINSIDER,\u201d \u201cColorado Life Magazine,\u201d and \u201cFodor\u2019s Travel\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond her writing, Leah serves as a communications and marketing consultant for arts and culture organizations and nonprofits. Passionate about her Northeast Denver community, Leah is thrilled to be a Stand Fellow, eager to sharpen her community organizing skills and learn how to navigate legislation to better advocate for her neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leah\u2019s favorite children\u2019s book, The Missing Piece Meets the Big O by Shel Silverstein, reflects her belief in self-discovery and fulfillment. She cherishes Colorado\u2019s diverse landscapes, from majestic mountains to sweeping plains, deep canyons, and high deserts, which continually inspire her love for the state she calls home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stand Colorado advances\u00a0solutions that increase opportunities for families, historically furthest from privilege, through meaningful partnerships with families, educators, schools, and policymakers.
