Actor Dylen Graham joins Kenya this week for a beautiful lesson on why it’s always okay to restart, and never too late to try again and find your footing. Dylen first walks us through how he got into background acting a decade ago, and how his hero's journey included a woman in a library that would change his life forever. He opens up about challenges and setbacks in his life, including experiencing homelessness and a near fatal car accident that forced him to relearn how to walk. From there, Dylen shares how he found the inner resilience and hope to get back into acting and the support and collaboration of the industry, which has launched him into speaking roles, and plenty of full circle moments.
