The Making of November Saturdays: A True Story of Foster Care, Addiction, and Purpose

November Saturdays exists because no child should be forgotten by the systems meant to protect them.

In this episode, The Making of November Saturdays, I tell the true origin story, from where the name came from to the life experiences that shaped it. Foster care. Displacement. Addiction. Loving someone the system gave up on. And realizing I didn’t survive that season just to live a normal life.

This is a deeply personal episode and includes heavy topics such as foster care, addiction, loss, and trauma. Listener discretion is advised. Take your time with it.

November Saturdays exists to interrupt generational trauma, restore potential, heal communities, and give every child a chance to rewrite their future.

We believe sports save lives.We believe mentorship changes futures.We believe nobody is too far gone.

Sports are our starting point. They are often the last safe place standing when everything else has been taken away. Through youth sports initiatives, mentorship, and community support, we step in where gaps exist and show up where silence has lived too long.

This is not charity from a distance.This is proximity. Presence. Advocacy.
