Leticia Reyes
Leticia was raised in Brazil, a country rich in diversity and contrasts - what she says gave her an inherent understanding about the differences between the so called “haves” and “have-nots. Leticia was the Atlantic Director for the Hult Prize Foundation – the world’s largest social business competition run in partnership with President Bill Clinton. And although being immersed in this community of self-identified “social entrepreneurs” was eye opening, her biggest take away was unexpected. She realized that it doesn’t matter how impactful your business is for the world, if when you go back home you continue being your own worst boss and don’t have patience for your family or gratitude for your team, you are taking one step forward and two steps back.
Leticia deeply believes what we are the world is, and that if we want to make this world a better place for everyone, we need to start changing how we treat ourselves and our surroundings. This realization is what ultimately led her to co-found 109 World.
Today, Leticia is the co-founder and CEO of 109 World — a 501(c)3 public charity dedicated to changing the norm we are seeing of people's dissatisfaction, unhappiness and unfulfillment with their lives. 109 does that by designing and hosting experiences that inspire personal and collective transformation, ensuring individuals have a new sense of purpose and connectedness with their lives and the world around them.
Leticia is also a contributor for Forbes Nonprofit Council , Thrive Global, and consults on community engagement/well-being, and social media for social good.
