From Tanzania to Virginia: Leah’s culinary and community impact

Leah Ligate wears many hats, she can whip out delicious Tanzanian cuisine, and she is famous in Virginia for her samosas. At the same time, she is a linguist; during Covid-19 she offered to translate leaflets and brochures and helped inform the masses.

She is a top-tier marketer, but at her core, she is a family support specialist, the work that serves vulnerable communities in the US. She emigrated to the United States 17 years ago. By then, she had 3-year-old and 7-year-old kids, but now they are all adults.
