Join us on Operation Insight as we host Master Sergeant Leonor Branch!
"At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can." Those are the words of renowned Latina artist Frida Kahlo, but they very much apply to Leonor Branch. During her time in the Air Force, MSgt Branch was the living embodiment of "Al mal tiempo, buena cara!" Through hardships like discrimination early in her career, all the way to suffering a severe physical setback before Recruiting School, Leonor held herself to a higher standard. Leonor knew she not only represented herself in adversity but also her entire family and her Latina identity. As a result, she achieved success. No one could doubt Leonor's commitment to excellence and service, whether as an administrator or a top recruiter. Then, when Leonor recognized it was time to transition from Master Sergeant back to Mother, she gracefully retired. Even after leaving the military, Leonor knew her mission wasn't over. Soon, she founded Sisters in Service of Greater St. Louis. This organization empowers and supports women veterans in their transition to civilian life through mentorship. Women veterans can connect with others, heal their spiritual and psychological wounds, and learn not only to survive but thrive!
Applications for the inaugural Pivot with Purpose cohort are now closed. The next cohort will open in the Spring of 2026. Stay connected with Sisters in Service via their social media pages!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
