Leopoldo’s journey is one of resilience, leadership, and conviction. From a promising career as an economist in Venezuela to running for office against a rising dictatorship, Leopoldo refused to let others define his potential. 
Disqualified from elections, forced into hiding, and enduring four years of solitary confinement, Leopoldo never surrendered. He turned himself in, not as a victim, but as a leader, proving the strength of his movement. In his darkest moments, he chose conviction over fear, refusing to let the regime define him. 
In part 1 of this powerful conversation, Leopoldo López shares with Imamu Tomlinson what it takes to build true leadership. It’s not by chasing ballots, but by empowering others to lead. 
Together, they explore what it takes to build movements, empower others, and stay true to your values in the face of adversity.
