Very sad news to wake up to this morning. I was privileged to spend time with Leila at many @PLGreenChalleng events and always enjoyed our conversations and hearing about the pioneering work she led at Samasource & @LXMIofficial - deepest condolences to her family and colleagues.
We are saddened to announce that Leila Janah, Samasource Founder and CEO, passed away due to complications from Epithelioid Sarcoma. Her commitment to creating a better world was unparalleled. We will miss her everyday. @leila_c
