Faith, Inspiration, and Women in Leadership: Sarah and Tala Revisited

How have role models shaped your life? In this episode, we revisit our November 2024 conversation about leadership with Sarah Sun and Tala Alnasser. Sarah Sun was the Student Body President of BYU in 2024 and was the first Asian American to be crowned Miss Utah in 2023. She was the first person in her family to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at age 17. Sarah is an accomplished musician and plays more than 10 instruments. Tala Alnasser was the Student Body Executive Vice President of BYU in 2024, and the first Muslim VP in BYU student body leadership. She was born in Jordan, speaks three languages, and is writing an honors thesis on the Christian gaze. She went undefeated in the chess Olympiad for Jordan. Sarah and Tala dive into the importance of women in leadership, role models, leading in your community, and how our individual faiths can strengthen our leadership capabilities.
