She has served in senior roles with global organizations such as the United Nations (United Nations Office of the Special Adviser on Africa, UNICEF, UNFPA, and United Nations Mission in South Sudan), where she led high-impact strategies that elevated key development, humanitarian, and peacebuilding priorities across Africa and the Middle East.

Lebo has a proven track record in designing and delivering advocacy campaigns that shape narratives, influence policy, and mobilize resources.

She is deeply passionate about creating platforms for young people to share their voices, having led youth-led storytelling and advocacy initiatives in conflict-affected contexts such as South Sudan and Syria.

Her love for books, culture, and conversation has shaped her career and personal ventures—including The LeboSpeaks Podcast, where she shares powerful conversations with young Africans overcoming adversity and leading change in their communities.
