Laylah Allen is committed to the practice of connecting people to people, sharing personal experiences and introducing tools to eliminate or overcome barriers to employment and personal development. Through her career in Human Resources and Recruitment, she quickly noticed a severe community need for essential employable skills, the ability to effectively communicate, and self-confidence. Her pursuit to combat these disparities began with the development of The Missing Link, a curriculum containing a balanced fusion of growth mindset practices, forward-think, and career development which better equips youth, parents, and homeless populations to lead more productive lives. Laylah also co-organizes a social impact event, Black Positivity Night. The event encourages guests to embrace their culture, promotes entrepreneurship, openly discusses solutions to issues that plague underrepresented communities, and enables individuals to network in a safe, productive environment. Laylah is also an Employment Specialist and Program Facilitator specializing in meeting individuals where they are despite learning disabilities and/or criminal background barriers.
