We explore the topic of homelessnesswith Michael Gaulden.  Michael is anauthor, entrepreneur, community activist and advocate for the homeless.  His story is remarkable.Michael and his mother grew uphomeless from the ages of 7 through 17.  Theylived in cars, parks, shelters, stairwells and bus stations.  With no money, no home and no refrigerator, heexperienced severe hunger that felt like his own body was digesting itself. Heand his mother relied on food from shelters, but often those resources were empty,and he was forced to beg or worse simply to survive.Michael tells the story of how hediscovered education as his way out of the homeless trap.  Despite making tremendous strides inlearning, doing his homework under a street light, being told by adults he wasdoomed to fail and getting constantly teased and harassed by other children, Michaelpersevered and succeeded.  He was awardeda full ride scholarship to UCLA and graduated with a double major in PoliticalScience and African American Studies.Michael now focuses his life as anadvocate for the homeless.  As CEO ofCreating First Impressions, he and his team provide resources and skillstraining to help struggling people find their way out of homelessness.We explore his incredible storyincluding working as a high school student to earn enough to finally secure astable home for his family.  We learn howcity leaders push the homeless out of communities and often out of towncompletely. We learn how in order to climb out of homelessness, the individualneeds to believe in themselves first and want to make their life meaningful.With homelessness getting moreattention in the local and national media, it is intriguing to hear a story ofa person that experienced the struggle first hand.  The homeless are not nameless andfaceless.  They are real people with realstories and often with great value to offer others.What can we do to help?  Let’s focus in our own community.  Often it just takes a friendly conversationto start the process.  Reach out.  Simple gestures and offerings go a long wayto helping those in need get on their feet. The end result is a Win-Win outcome where the person in need is liftedup and the community overall is improved.JRP0042Michael Gaulden Info:Michael Gaulden Author website:  http://michaelgaulden.com/CreatingFirst Impressions:  http://creatingfirstimpressions.org/hope/Monarch Schools:  https://monarchschools.org/John Riley Project Info:Bookings?
