Let it Be Wild: Stepping into the Unknown and Finding a Home

by Dr Jenny Nuccio

Let it Be Wild is inspired by the roots of Imani Collective.
Born from a wild dream that founder Jenny Nuccio made into a reality, Imani Collective is a community of dreamers + shakers unafraid to ask, "Why not?" It is through this community that we unleash a woman's greatness through empowerment + opportunity.
In Let It Be Wild, Nuccio shares her journey of discovering and nurturing her wild soul that led to starting the business that is holistically empowering over 130 artisans in Kenya - inviting the reader along for the ride and challenging them to awaken their own wild soul.
This book will take you through Jenny's audacious life journey that led her to make Kenya home. From an elementary school start-up business to backpacking through Peru, Jenny candidly shares her highs, lows, and lessons learned as she stepped into her truest self.
It is Jenny's hope that the reader will see themselves in these stories, remember their wild, and go out and change the world. She values the heart of the dreamer and encourages you to "let it be wild."

If you want to be inspired and motivated to live with purpose, I highly recommend reading Let It Be Wild. Jenny's story and the story of Imani Collective is passionately and touchingly woven throughout the pages in a way that leaves you challenged and excited to do more, to be more. To follow after the dreams of your own heart with courage and tenacity for lasting impact. I loved it!

It's a nice read. The timeline tends to jump around a bit, but it's done so in way where you get the context of what the author is trying to get across.

As a Christian, I love how she's open about her faith and not afraid to share it. And reading her story, you can see where God was working in her life. Especially with God letting her see the contrast between giving birth in the states vs. in Kenya. (I'm becoming more and more convinced to not have kids in the US.🫠) It's overall nice to see her being led to be a change maker and being inspired to help others.

For anyone who's interested in becoming an entrepreneur, this might be a good book for you. In an insight kind of way. The author is ultimately an entrepreneur who founded a company in a place I'm interpreting didn't really have a big business of sorts... Of any sorts if I'm interpreting correctly. This can definitely give you an idea of what being a founder and CEO of a company that isn't on your home terf is like.

Overall a good read. Would definitely recommend.

Only other thing is, RIP Chris, I only know of you through this book, but you were a real one.

Even though she starts the book talking a lot about her religious upbringing and her relationship with god, it was an easy read and inspiring book. Her journey through social entrepreneurship is admirable.
