Episode 16: Alexxis Isaac, Operations Director at Eat the Change

Alexxis Isaac immediately inspired me—but not for the reasons you might think. Yes, she has an incredible background with several Ivy League schools on her resume. She’s had an accomplished career where she’s making tangible strides for equity and environmentalism. But what I most appreciate about Alexxis is her heart for the work that she is doing. Her passion is so evident—and her energy is contagious. Even when the work can feel overwhelming, Alexxis is not one to give up. We also dive into how your credentials are not there to define you—which is something we all need to hear when so many of us feel like we are “never enough.”
