#12 — Lusher Paul — Survive and Never Give Up, Biz Is Tough…You’re Tougher, Trust In The Higher Powers
In our season finale I bring you a deeply moving story of tenacity and the unyielding spirit to not only survive and never give up, but also triumph over life’s cruelest adversities
Enter the world of Lusher Paul, a remarkable young man hailing from Kibera, Kenya.
Lusher’s early years were shadowed by profound loss—losing his parents during primary school he was left to fend for himself as his extended family turned away.. He became what he calls a ‘street boy’ — hustling and selling scrap metal and smokes to stay alive. Every hard-earned coin went towards sustenance, and whatever remained, he selflessly used to aid his community.
Battling inner demons and a tumultuous educational journey, Lusher faced the darkest corners of life, even attempting suicide before realizing the need for a different path.
In the face of despair, Lusher turned to the healing powers of music and dance, birthing a wedding MC/DJ business that not only sustained him but became a testament to the transformative power of human resilience.
Lusher’s story is undeniably heartbreaking, yet it embodies the most potent essence of the human spirit—to not merely survive but to inspire and, against all odds, thrive.
In this episode, we embark on a profound journey into Lusher’s life and exploring the lessons he’s garnered along the way. In these challenging times, his narrative serves as a powerful reminder of the indomitable strength within us all.
