Community leader and author, Kent Hay, shares his journey from survival to service — and what it truly takes to create lasting solutions to homelessness—hosted by Giovanne D. Schachere, CEO of Mysti’s Adult & Family Services and creator of The Giovanne Show.

In this moving debut episode of The Giovanne Show, Giovanne D. Schachere, MS talks with Kent Hay, a community leader with the City of Auburn, Washington, whose life journey embodies redemption and resilience.

Once facing the same struggles as many of the people he now serves, Kent opens up about surviving gun violence, rebuilding trust, and finding purpose through service.
