Leah and Jason are back! During some much-needed time away Leah has learned how much communicating with others can lead to people creating taglines in real life to introduce themselves. Reducing yourself into a tagline can help to identify a small part of you, but it doesn't accurately articulate the nuance and beauty of who you truly are.
