April 6, 2022 | Episode  83

We are joined by award winning actress, philanthropist, mother, wife, & special needs warrior& then some, Holly Robinson Peete. 

You may recognize her from her work on TV shows "Sesame Street", "21 Jump Street",  "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper", "Chicago Fire", "Law & Order: SVU", to name a few. But there is so much more to her. Her son, RJ was diagnosed with Autism at a time when resources were low & ignorance was high. 

Through perseverance & love, she & her husband, former NFL quarterback Rodney Peete fought to provide RJ with independence & a path towards purpose.  Together, they founded the HollyRod Foundation which does stellar work for the community.

Today, RJ works for the Los Angeles Dodgers & he’s come so far away from the dark prognosis that the “experts” first forecasted for him. You will find out there is so much more to Holly, her story, & her family.
