Hope is actionable.
Jesse believes that authentic storytelling is future-building.
Self love, self care, community-building, and hope are ways to journey through life, not buzzwords.

Let’s Talk About Hope
A social impact consultant focused on the needs of our communities’ most vulnerable populations, Jesse Leon has taken a compassionate and studied approach to addressing mental health, substance abuse, and housing.
In his first book, I’m Not Broken, Jesse recounts his personal history of brutal abuse and subsequent addiction which shattered his sense of self and identity.
He reveals his resilience. Through education, support, and faith, Jesse shows how we can suffer and survive, how we may be beaten but not broken.
How do you want to talk about Hope?
My message of Hope is about action and personal agency. We can put those into context together with your mission. However we engage, we will build a connection to my story that makes a difference.
