#33 From Struggles to Service: The Evolution of Khari Arnold

In this episode of We Rest on Sundays, I sit down with Khari Arnold, a father, editor at NBA.com, and founder of Library Dads, a grassroots initiative bringing fathers and their children together once a month at local libraries to celebrate literacy and connection.Khari opens up about his journey, reflecting on his struggles in high school, the emotional weight of constantly moving, and the pressures of trying to fit in. He shares how seeking validation led to setbacks, but also how attending an HBCU helped him find his footing and reclaim his path.We talk deeply about fatherhood and its unexpected impact. “I always knew it would change me, but I never knew to what extent,” Khari says. His story is one of redemption, intentionality, and purpose, a testament to the quiet strength in showing up for your children and your community.Whether you're a parent, creative, or someone navigating your own growth, this conversation will leave you moved and motivated.
