002 Finding Freedom in Childhood Homelessness with Omad Shakur
Manage episode 398312991 series 2440546
This episode is filled with one of my most inspiring friends who I am honored to know - Omad Shakur. In this episode we discuss Omad's childhood in Sudan, encountering unimaginable hardship of being taken from his family, running away from a Sudanese boarding school and becoming homeless all before the age of 10. Omad reminisces on how he was able to be reunited with his family and restart his life afterwards. My greatest admiration of Omad that I think is clearly shown in this episode is how he has taken these hardships and used them to strengthen his heart, soul and character. We cover the lessons learned through such tribulations and how they can be the stepping stone for our own development.
