Lisa Repko Borden is a founding partner and co-director of Wema Ventures, a non-profit prioritizing holistic development in East Africa. Before COVID, her U.S. passport was constantly in use as she travels frequently and has lived most of her life outside of the United States.

A published author, she holds a BA in English Literature. In 2014, Lisa and her husband, Byron, were awarded the Westmont College Global Service Award, which honors the work of alums around the world. Lisa is religious about tea, silly about her dogs, and giddy about her grandkids. She lives in Arusha, Tanzania.

What is Connected: A Podcast With Jess?
Who Are You? That's my favorite question and I ask it of each of my guests. The stories of who we are matter. They connect us to each other and to parts of ourselves. The Connected Podcast is bringing you stories of women from all over the world to inspire, challenge, expand and grow you.
