Part of the process is forgiveness, and unforgiveness is like carrying a massive, heavy weight, and you know it's really hard when you can't forgive something and that abuse will haunt you.
Jason Flemyng sits down with Lennox Rodgers, a man whose life story reads like a harrowing novel but ends on a note of hope and redemption. As a child, Lennox endured unimaginable physical, sexual, and racial abuse. These early traumas led him into the clutches of gangs where he worked as a pimp, enforcer, and drug dealer. But Lennox's story doesn't end there.
Choosing to turn his life around, he has since become a motivational speaker, co-founded the early intervention charity Refocus, and authored a book titled 'Breaking Better'. In this heartfelt conversation, Lennox opens up about his experiences with institutionalization and the heavy burden of unforgiveness. He discusses how racism impacts the lives of black individuals and emphasizes the importance of education in breaking cycles of violence.
Through his work with Refocus, Lennox is helping others escape their pasts and build brighter futures. His story is a testament to the transformative power of faith, forgiveness, and early intervention programs. Tune in to hear how Lennox Rodgers turned his darkest moments into a beacon of hope for others.
