In this week’s episode, we dive into the importance of youth empowerment and resilience, emphasizing that meaningful transformation begins at the grassroots level. Featuring insights from Janiyah Lockwood, the founder of Lake Michigan Roots, we learn how young people from Gary, despite being overlooked and underestimated, are standing up, leading, and driving change. 

Janiyah’s story reminds us that meaningful transformation starts small and that every young person’s voice and resilience can shape a brighter future. Join us to discover why your voice matters, how resilience fuels growth, and why you are not your environment.
