In Part 1 of this powerful two-part episode, we dive deep into the early life of D'Andre Lampkin—community leader, nonprofit founder, and public servant. Raised by a single mother in South Central L.A., D'Andre faced constant exposure to gang violence, police neglect, and poverty. But instead of becoming a product of his environment, he rose above it.   From joining the Sheriff's Department's Explorer Program as a teenager, to witnessing tragedy firsthand, D'Andre opens up about how his upbringing shaped his values, discipline, and lifelong mission of service. He shares personal stories about reconnecting with siblings he never knew he had and meeting his estranged father under unexpected circumstances.   🔔 Don't miss Part 2, where we dive even deeper into D'Andre's childhood.    🔗 Learn more and support: ➤ D'Andre's work: https://lampkinfoundation.org/ 📷 https://www.instagram.com/lampkinfoundation/ National CORE & Hope Through Housing 🌐 nationalcore.org 📘 facebook.com/nationalcore 📘 facebook.com/hopethroughhousing   FYI Podcast 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fyi.findingyourinspiration/ 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fyipodcast   A National CORE Production supporting the Hope Through Housing Foundation.
