Nicole shares the real stories behind the scenes: how one young woman buying a duplex changed her entire family’s trajectory, how two teens stood at a crossroads between jail and opportunity, and how the youth given a mic are now becoming world leaders. In this inspiring exchange, Nicole and Alexia dive into: How small acts of mentorship can transform lives—and legacies. Why youth must not only be seen and heard, but given the platform to lead. The evolution of Hands Across Philadelphia from local peace walks to a global youth empowerment movement. How giving children tools, support, and belief can ignite entire communities. From city blocks in Philly to the halls of the UN and House of Lords, this episode is proof: you don’t need millions—just a mission. Whether you’re a teacher, parent, mentor, or changemaker-in-the-making, this one will reignite your sense of purpose.
