A personal story of survival and resilience from someone with lived experience.
In this powerful episode, we meet Jimmy — a man who's lived on and off the streets of Sheboygan for a couple years. Recorded outside Mead Public Library in Sheboygan, this conversation doesn’t take place in a studio. It takes place where Jimmy lives his truth: on the sidewalk, with nothing to hide.
Jimmy opens up about the daily realities of homelessness — the cold, the stigma, the loneliness — but also about the fight to stay human in a world that often looks away. He reminds us what it means to endure when everything around you says give up.
This is more than an interview — it’s a reminder that presence is a form of resistance. Jimmy is still here. And he has something to say.
