Partnerships

Listening. Understanding. Action.

At Acts of Grace Project, we believe meaningful change begins with listening.

We partner with organizations and community leaders to better understand the experiences of women and mothers and turn what we learn into stronger communications, deeper community engagement, meaningful partnerships, and action.

Rooted in Founder Natalie Leon’s more than 20 years of experience in strategic communications, storytelling, and community engagement, our approach brings together professional expertise and lived experience to help partners listen more deeply, communicate more authentically, and build greater trust with the communities they serve.

What We Do in Partnership

Strategic Communications & Storytelling

We develop strategic communications, messaging, storytelling, and content that amplify women’s voices, build understanding, and strengthen connection.

Community Engagement & Insights

Through listening sessions, Story Circles, surveys, workshops, and community conversations, we engage women, listen to their experiences, and translate what we learn into community-informed insights.

Partnerships & Action

We collaborate with partners to turn understanding into strategies, communications, programs, and initiatives that better respond to the needs of women, families, and communities.

Why We Partner

Listening is one of the greatest acts of grace.

When women are heard, we gain more than stories. We gain understanding.

That understanding can reveal where communication is falling short, where support is working, where gaps remain, and where opportunities exist to do better.

We listen to understand. We communicate to connect. We partner to act.

Experience Behind the Mission

For more than 20 years, Founder Natalie Leon has worked at the intersection of communications, storytelling, entrepreneurship, and community engagement.

Her experience includes building an award-winning public relations business during the 2009 economic crisis, creating a wine brand and community, developing programs and engagement initiatives for older adults during the pandemic, and leading communications and community engagement initiatives within Miami-Dade County government.

Combined with her own lived experiences through loss, motherhood, health challenges, and career transitions, that journey became the foundation for Acts of Grace Project.

Professional experience informs the strategy.
Lived experience keeps the work human.
Grace • Grit • God grounds the mission.

Let’s Create Something Meaningful Together

Whether through strategic communications, storytelling, or community initiatives, we’d love to explore what we can build together.

SENIOR ADULT LIVING

In 2019, after experiencing significant life changes, Natalie served as a program director supporting seniors during the pandemic. This period became a profound awakening, giving her deep insight into the later stages of life and inspiring her commitment to serve vulnerable populations. She views this season as part of her divine path into public service, shaping her dedication to compassionate leadership, meaningful community engagement, and programs that honor and support people of all ages with dignity.

PUBLIC SERVICE

In 2022, Natalie began her journey in public service with Miami-Dade County, leading communications and marketing efforts first with the Community Services Department and then with Housing. She collaborated closely with the Office of the Mayor, partner agencies, and community stakeholders to develop communications and marketing strategies, lead outreach and engagement efforts for key departmental initiatives, coordinate events and media relations, integrate technology, and support special projects, all focused on strengthening programs and services that positively impact the Miami-Dade community.

Throughout her public service, Natalie remained grounded in her values and character, guided by compassion and a deep commitment to the community she served. Her journey reinforced her belief that workplaces, organizations, and communities flourish when grace, empathy, understanding, and humanity are at the center.
