In Episode 6 of Season 2 of the Imagine Dignity Podcast, I sat down with Danny, a man I met in Greenville, South Carolina, whose story immediately struck me. Danny opened up about how moving from another state to be closer to family unexpectedly led to homelessness—and how, through it all, loyalty, faith, and community remain at the center of his life.What stood out most was Danny’s ability to listen to and support others in his community, even while navigating his own hardships. He shared how a local church allows him to use their address for mail, the physical toll of having to camp out overnight just to wash clothes, and how limited resources in the area make it difficult for many to get consistent help.Danny’s honesty about his challenges, combined with his deep sense of love for family and community, is a reminder of the quiet strength found in so many who are unhoused. His story speaks to the power of dignity, compassion, and the need for more support systems for those in need.

In Episode 5 of Season 2 of the Imagine Dignity Podcast, I sat down with Andre, a brother I met in Greenville, South Carolina, who never thought he would become homeless.

After a family breakdown, he suddenly found himself on the streets, struggling to navigate a system full of barriers. Andre opened up about the reality that homelessness can affect anyone, regardless of race, and how those with disabilities are often taken advantage of.

He also spoke about the lack of education and resources that could empower people experiencing homelessness, as well as the difficulty of securing housing without an ID.

Through it all, Andre remains committed to working and trying to rebuild his life, despite the daily challenges of survival and trust.

His story challenges myths about homelessness and reminds us that many people don’t choose this path—it happens due to circumstances beyond their control.

In Episode 4 of Season 2 of the Imagine Dignity Podcast, I sat down with Stacey, a woman I met in Greenville, South Carolina, who lives in a motel but still experiences the reality of homelessness. Without a stable home, Stacey finds herself in a transient state—having a place to stay, but lacking security, community, and stability. She shared how motel policies prevent her from building a sense of belonging where she stays, which is why she chooses to spend time with people experiencing homelessness on the streets. Stacey also opened up about the pain of losing her mother and the challenges of living with a disability. Her story is a reminder that homelessness isn’t just about being on the streets—it’s also about the instability of not having a permanent place to call home. Stacey’s journey highlights the deep need for community, understanding, and compassion for those living in uncertain housing situations.
