On Career and Community with Eleesha Lewis

Retired, but never idle: Eleesha is retiring after 22 years of federal service, including 18 years as a Foreign Service Officer with the Department of State. Her job took her to India, Mexico, the Philippines, Bermuda, and Singapore, and now that she's back in the U.S., Eleesha is finding new ways to serve her community, and new inspiration for the next chapter of her career. Her transformative experience as a human rights officer in Manila inspired a commitment to human rights in every context, and she's making a surprising (even to me!) announcement about her next big adventure. Eleesha is serving up a healthy dose of her Mom's philosophy on forward motion, and we all stand to benefit.
