Sarah's Untitled Talk Show: Vania Leles

Vania Leles sits down with Sarah Wetenhall for a powerful conversation that blends elegance, identity, and purpose. Born in Guinea-Bissau and raised in Sierra Leone, Vania shares how her early life and African heritage inspired her path from fashion model to gemologist—and eventually to founder of LELES Diamonds, the first Black-owned high jewelry brand on London’s Bond Street. Together, they explore Vania’s mission to bring ethics, empowerment, and African excellence to the forefront of the fine jewelry industry. It’s a sparkling conversation about redefining luxury, staying true to your roots, and carving space in an industry where few have dared.
