Building Connections Through Storytelling with Jose Lugo
Welcome to another episode of Show Up with Sarah! Today we will be chatting with Jose Lugo who is now 34 years old. He would join an L.A. street gang when he was 16, and would be convicted and sentenced to 5 years in prison at the age of 18. When he was paroled from prison, he vowed to himself that he would never go back and dreamed of one day telling the stories of his peers
In this episode, Jose shares with us how he would go through life never fully understanding the value in his own story. At the age of 31 he would return to jail for a D.U.I, and after his 3-day incarceration, he had lost all hope. He took inventory of his life and saw himself only as a criminal with no value. On the brink of taking his own life, he cried out to God and was able to remember a simple truth that he had believed as a child - that he as a person had inherent value and that his story had meaning. It was at that moment that he was able to find the value in his story once again.
Jose is the founder and lead creative of We Are All One Story. He currently travels the country listening to and sharing peoples stories. He also just finished his memoir, Love, Faith and Violence: A True Song and Story.
