The Value of Friendship. feat. Zoe Renee

Helping Homies Win: Tools for Lifting a Generation

Welcome back to another episode of Helping Homies Win: The Podcast In this episode we sit down with a dear friend of ours ZOE RENEE THOMAS. She is an actor born and raised in Atlanta, GA. As the daughter of Speech—Hip Hop Legend, producer, and founder of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT— she spent much of her childhood growing up on the road, touring with her family. Moving from place to place so frequently made it hard to develop lasting relationships outside of her nucleus (family). Which may be the reason she places such an emphasis on strong friendships and building community. In this episode, we break down how Zoe and Antonio first met which includes their first(and last) date, the dangerous of romanticizing platonic relationships, stepping out of your comfort zone and bringing people together, and much more.
