“Leah has managed to turn her pain into power, which is what many of us here at the tribe have done, and that's why we say that sobriety is our superpower.”
Ever wondered how someone born into the toughest of circumstances can rise above and make a difference? Meet Leah Forney. In this episode of the Tribe Sober podcast, Leah opens up about her extraordinary journey from being born with crack cocaine in her system to becoming a vocal activist against sexual violence. Raised by her maternal grandparents, Leah always felt different from her peers.
The more she learned about her mother, the more abandoned and resentful she felt, especially since her grandmother refused to discuss her mom. Leah's path was far from easy. She survived sexual assault and struggled with alcohol dependence, but she didn't let these challenges define her. Instead, she transformed her pain into a powerful force for good. Now an activist and public speaker, Leah shares her story to inspire others and highlight the importance of community support, healing, and self-care.
This episode is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of sobriety. Tune in to hear Leah's inspiring story and find out how she turned her life around.
