Ep#5 | Who is ALELD? The not-for-profit you need to know about, bridging Australia & Latin America

🎙️ Amiga Mía Talk Show – Ep #5: Who is ALELD?
In this episode, your host Michelle from Amiga Mía sits down with Sam Bissett, CEO of ALELD (Australia Latin America Emerging Leaders Dialogue), to explore how this powerful initiative is building bridges between two regions.

We chat all things ALELD’s mission since its 2018 launch, its evolution, and how it's shaping the next wave of changemakers across Australia and Latin America. Sam opens up about his own leadership journey, the cultural lessons he’s embraced from Latin America, and why community engagement is at the heart of diplomacy.

✨ From legacy-building to behind-the-scenes insights into ALELD events and alumni impact, this convo is a beautiful reminder that leadership, like cultura, is best when shared.

¡Dale play! Y let's celebrate the future of Latin-Australian connections. 🌏
