A call for supporting people: Building a career as a philanthropist w/ Laura Rose A Woman’s Place

    • Society & Culture

In this episode, we talked with Laura Rose, a philanthropist, public speaker, youth and women’s empowerment activist, and specialist. She is the CEO of Greenheart International, the Co-founder of Purpose Earth, and a woman with a huuuuge heart. Laura shared with us a dream she had when she was only ten- a literal dream that changed her life. She needed to make a choice. At 26, she had no idea what she wanted to do next. The connection between that 10-year-old dream and the adult Laura came full circle. That is when she realized that what she loved more than anything in the world was people and connections.

Laura was interviewed by Maria Julia Vale (Maju). Maju is a young Brazilian community leader, entrepreneur, and activist.
