Today we have Jose Lugo, who is thirty-three years old. He would join a L.A. street gang when he was sixteen and would be convicted and sentenced to five years in prison at the age of eighteen. When he paroled from prison, he vowed to himself that he would never go back and dreamed of one day telling the stories of his peers.
Jose Lugo currently travels the U.S. listening to and sharing peoples stories as the founder and lead creative of We Are All One Story (https://weareallonestory.net )
Jose, why are you doing this?
“I believe that the only things that matter in this world are people and the impact we leave on their hearts. When I re-found the value in my own story, I knew that I would have to help others do the same. This is the dream of my dreams; there is no other way for me."
