I lost my son.... so now I fight for yours ft Kenn Collier

Dr. Kenn Collier went from a 17-year-old father with no guidance… to prison… to earning his GED… to becoming a PhD. He beat the odds. He rewrote his story. But then life hit him with a pain no degree could prepare him for— losing his son to gun violence. And in one of the most vulnerable moments of this conversation, he shares the weight he carries… That the morning his son was killed, he was supposed to pick him up— but decided to stop at the barbershop instead. A decision he now has to live with. This episode is raw, honest, and deeply human. It explores grief, guilt, fatherhood, faith, and what it looks like to keep going when life doesn’t make sense. Now running for District 62, his mission is rooted in that pain: “I lost my son… so now I fight for yours.” If you’ve ever wrestled with “what if”… if you’ve ever carried guilt… or if you’re trying to find purpose in your pain— this conversation will stay with you!
