What does it take to turn a village's belief in young people into lasting community change?

Sandra Fatmi-Hall returns to The Last Shot Podcast for a personal conversation with Julien Serrano-O'Neil about the experiences, relationships and purpose behind her work. Born in Jamaica and known to many as “Ms. Pine Hills,” the Founder, CEO and Executive Director of the United Foundation of Central Florida reflects on the lessons her grandmother taught her, the people who helped build UFCF, and why investing in young people means supporting the families and communities around them.

Sandra shares how trust developed through the children her organization mentored, why meaningful support reaches beyond office hours, and how a community of volunteers came together to deliver humanitarian relief in Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa.

Ahead of her October 17, 2026 TEDxOrlando appearance, she also discusses what it means to carry a grassroots mission onto a larger stage and show young people that their own voices belong there, too.

For Julien, this conversation is personal: Sandra is a mentor, a second mother and a community leader whose influence he has experienced firsthand.

A conversation about service, consistency, cultural roots and building something the next generation can carry forward.
