Lea Bolt

Lea Bolt is a Nicaraguan activist, researcher, and poet currently serving as Executive Delegate of the Limitless Foundation for Human Development. 

She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Diplomacy and International Relations and a Master’s degree in Creative Writing in Spanish from the University of Salamanca. With over six years of experience, Lea has led political advocacy projects, coordinated regional research and dialogue initiatives, and facilitated learning processes focused on democratic culture, transitional justice, and human rights. She has collaborated as a research assistant, consultant, and strategic advisor for various international organizations, including projects funded by USAID, the European Union, and AECID. She is also the founder of Bolt: School of Oratory & Debate, where she has trained dozens of young leaders in public speaking, argumentation, and civic engagement. 

A committed feminist and advocate for social transformation, her work bridges political analysis, educational innovation, and poetic expression. Her poetry explores themes of memory, exile, and collective resistance, and she facilitates writing spaces that center emotional truth and dissenting voices. Now living in exile in Costa Rica, Lea continues to contribute to transnational efforts for democracy, justice, and civic participation in Central America.
