It's Yo Boooy Khadar back on So Saint Paul

From Hoops to Hope: It’s Yo Boooy Khadar’s Biggest Weekend Yet On this episode of So Saint Paul on WFNU LP 94.1 FM, host Katey DeCelle sits down with community organizer and hype man extraordinaire, It’s Yo Boooy Khadar, to talk about his 4th Annual Stop the Violence Basketball & Youth Entrepreneur Event at the Frogtown Community Center.What started as a way to honor the memory of Khadar’s friend, Johntay Hudson, after his tragic death at the Mall of America has grown into a powerful weekend of community, connection, and opportunity. Khadar shares how basketball became the vehicle for bringing people together, creating positive spaces for youth, and showing what's possible when a community invests in itself.Listeners will hear about this year's packed lineup, including semi-pro and community matchups, middle school games, Purdue vs. Nebraska, a brand-new educators vs. kids showdown, celebrity guests, performances, and family activities. Plus, Sunday’s Youth Entrepreneur Fair gives young people the chance to launch their own businesses, sell their products, and keep every dollar they earn.Special guest actor and community advocate Ken Sagoes joins the conversation to discuss his admiration of Khadar, and his nonprofit, The Giving Back Cooperation, and why supporting youth leadership matters. We also hear from two fabulous kids that Khadar mentors in an after-school program, Leo and Nora, (and mom too!) Khadar also shares his vision for expanding the event across Minnesota and beyond through his future nonprofit, Journey of the Youth.It's more than basketball—it's a full-court press for peace, purpose, and the next generation.
