Description
Today I sit down with Lamar Russell, a remarkable entrepreneur, community leader, and best-selling children's author, who has transformed his life experiences into a beacon of hope and inspiration for others. Lamar opens up about his challenging upbringing, marked by a lack of positive male role models and his brother's early incarceration, which drove him to become a positive influence for young girls and boys.

Despite these adversities, Lamar found his purpose in mentorship and community service, ultimately becoming an influential figure in the lives of many young people. Throughout the episode, Lamar emphasizes the importance of representation, affirmations, and giving back to the community.
