Ep 7: He Grew Up With Nothing — Now He's the Father 100 Kids Never Had

In Episode 7 of The Build Black Show, we sit down with Leo Robinson and Samara Jules-Robinson — the husband-and-wife team behind Mentors for Fatherless Children & Abused Families . Leo opens up about growing up in the streets, living reckless, and nearly becoming another lost story.

But everything changed when Samara entered his life and challenged him to become a better man, husband, and leader. Together, they turned pain into purpose by creating an organization dedicated to helping fatherless children, abused families, and underserved communities find guidance, healing, and hope.

This episode dives into: Overcoming street life and destructive cycles The impact of strong women and strong partnerships Fatherhood, mentorship, and legacy building Healing trauma within families and communities Why Black leadership and community support matter now more than ever This is more than a redemption story. It’s a blueprint for transformation, accountability, and rebuilding the village.
