153. Homeboy Industries

from Now That You Ask Hosted by Akasha Halsey

I recently visited Homeboy Industries, the world's largest gang rehabilitation and reentry program. It was a deeply impactful experience journeying through their facilities in downtown Los Angeles and seeing firsthand the remarkable transformations and supportive atmosphere cultivated by Father Gregory Boyle. From the exceptional service at Homegirl Cafe to the heartwarming stories of resilience and change, in this episode I reflect on the broader themes of love, respect, and hope that permeate this extraordinary organization.
