King Randall, I. on How to Make Men
On this episode of Anchored, Jeremy and Arooba are joined by King Randall, I. a 22-year-old native of Albany, GA. Seeing a need to help enhance the lives of young men in his community, he took action to combat the high poverty and crime rates by founding the "X" for Boys organization, where the motto is, "Let US Make Man." He discusses what the organization does, such as hosting a variety of workshops teaching life skills and trades such as automotive repair and home improvement. The organization also hosts a weekly book club for boys to improve literacy. He explains the devastating circumstances that young boys in Albany face, and how teaching them skills can not only help them escape those circumstances but make them better men.
