We embark on a captivating journey from the historical cobblestones of Boston and Philadelphia to the bustling stages where Leila's musical talents shine.

She reveals how spaces can tell stories and foster connections, a philosophy that extends to her approach in design and branding. Diving into the melodic side of life, we uncover Leila's serendipitous rise to national television with her band during the pandemic, and the powerful interplay of entrepreneurship and artistic expression.
