Leo Louis II: Faith, Family, Community & Finding Your Way

What shapes who we become, and what responsibility do we have to the places and people that shaped us? For the first episode of Just Curious with Shonna, I sit down with Leo Louis II for a conversation about faith, family, growing up in North Omaha, finding his way as a young man, and the people and experiences that helped shape the life he leads today. Leo shares the beautiful story of building a life with his wife and family, what continues to drive him, and why giving back to his community remains so important to him, including his work in gang intervention and violence prevention. We also talk about something personal to both of us: leaving the neighborhoods that shaped us in search of opportunity, as I did, and why finding success doesn't have to mean leaving people behind. It's a conversation about where we come from, what we learn along the way, and what we choose to do with it. Just Curious with Shonna features real people, real stories and real connection. New episodes on the last Sunday of every month.
