Samantha Louise is a leadership cultivator and the founder of Brave Girl International guiding girls and young women to become natural born leaders. She is a beginning farmer, an author, a Minnesota Teacher of the Year, and holds a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership with a unique approach to leadership and learning through hands-on experiences that develop selfhood for self-leadership, sisterhood for healthy relationships, and leaderhood to inspire change in the world around us. Brave Girl was born out of the dire need to prevent cycles of manipulation and trauma; ultimately, to help girls connect to their true essence, develop healthy relationships, and center themselves within functional belief systems. From a farm in rural Minnesota, Samantha is a small-town girl with a world-wide vision to transform leadership development and personal empowerment for next generation female leaders from every corner of the globe.
