SYNOPSIS
Inspired by his grandfather’s wisdom and the call of his Kenyan heritage, Joseph transforms lives by guiding inner-city Black and Brown youth from Jersey City on a journey of self-discovery—bridging continents, building legacies, and creating a ripple of generational wealth and empowerment. It’s a powerful testament to the idea that understanding where you come from is the first step to reshaping where you’re going—and to the unyielding belief that legacy is the ultimate gift we leave behind.
