Stevie & Gloria Giorno on Their Family History

STAND with Kelly and Niki Tshibaka

When Gloria Giorno crossed oceans and ideologies, fleeing communist Yugoslavia for the beacon of American freedom, she didn't imagine her son Stevie would one day be at the epicenter of a cultural storm on a university campus. Yet, here they are, mother and son, sharing their fearless stance against cancel culture and the suffocating grip of wokeism at Belmont University. Gloria, with the tenacity of her United Women Foundation and the poignant lessons from her book "Outcast", joins us alongside Stevie, former student body president, to unfold a narrative of unwavering conviction and the importance of preserving free speech.
Embark on a journey that begins with Gloria's gripping tale of escape and assimilation, a testament to her family's pursuit of the American dream, and culminates in Stevie's defiant response to an Independence Day uproar that nearly cost him his university role. What unfolds is more than a story of conflict; it's an exploration of the Giorno family's deeply rooted principles and the courage it takes to stand firm in one's beliefs amidst a tempest of opposition. Witness the embodiment of resilience as Gloria and Stevie Giorno recount their experiences, offering inspiration and a call to action for those who cherish freedom and the power of a unified voice against the tides of conformity.
