Meet Your Host: Leizel Trinidad Jacobsen

With a heart for service and a voice dedicated to the upliftment of others, Leizel Trinidad Jacobsen has spent over 22 years as a dedicated community advocate. Her journey is defined by a deep-rooted commitment to faith, family, and the belief that there is always a “good side” to be found in every story.

Faith at the Forefront

As a Christian, Leizel’s work and life are guided by her favorite scripture:

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” — Romans 8:28

This verse serves as the heartbeat of The Good Side Foundation, reminding us that even in challenges, there is a greater purpose and a path toward goodness.

A Life of Purpose

Leizel wears many hats, each one fueling her passion for community and connection:

  • The Advocate: Two decades of advocacy have shaped her into a listener and a champion for those around her.

  • The Professional: As both a business entrepreneur and a community health worker, she understands the balance of hard work, practical care, and the importance of well-being.

  • The Heart of the Home: Above all, Leizel is a devoted wife and mother, drawing daily inspiration from her family to build a more inclusive and kinder world for the next generation.
