Father Greg Boyle and Fabian Devora: Crafting Hope and Kinship at Homeboy Industries

And when you come to homeboy, regardless of what we do, we embrace you and we're just going to get closer, and I think that's all the world needs.
What if the power to change the world started with a simple act of kinship? In this heartfelt episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer sits down with Father Greg Boyle and Fabian Devora, two remarkable individuals dedicated to transforming lives. Father Boyle, a Jesuit priest, founded Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, which stands as the largest gang-intervention, rehabilitation, and reentry program globally.
His accolades include the California Peace Prize and the University of Notre Dame’s Laetare Medal, reflecting his tireless commitment to social justice. Fabian Devora, an accomplished artist and illustrator, has collaborated with Father Boyle on several projects, including the book *Forgive Everyone Everything*. Devora’s journey from counselor and Director of Substance Abuse Services at Homeboy Industries to Executive Director of Homebody Art Academy is nothing short of inspiring.
Throughout the episode, Boyle and Devora share their personal stories and insights from their work at Homeboy Industries. They explore the profound impact of kinship and how it can dismantle stereotypes and foster genuine connections. The conversation also touches on the Two Wolves Parable, emphasizing the importance of nurturing positivity over negativity. Listeners will find themselves moved by discussions on personal healing, hope, and the need for compassionate contributions to society.
This episode is a beacon for anyone seeking inspiration in their journey towards personal growth and community building. Tune in to hear how these two extraordinary men are making a difference, one act of kindness at a time.
