Don’t Block Your Greatness

Guest Sara Stender Delaney’s family lived in Anguilla for a year, where Sara remembers being the only white student in her classroom. Early diverse experiences shaped Sara’s awareness of being different from others. After a traumatic event in college, Sara saw a film on genocide and rape in Rwanda. Lost and unfulfilled by her traditional business degree Sara moved to Rwanda to open a restaurant with war survivors. Their warmth and inclusiveness, “no matter who you are,” made an impact on Sara. She returned to the States a year later, gave her first Ted Talk on hope and resiliency, and founded a non-profit to raise money for trauma survivors in Africa. Sara’s commitment to mental health and trauma evolved into her second company, “3Mountains.” Family, supportive, open colleagues and, a healthy lifestyle inside and out all contribute to how Sara takes care of herself and those around her.
