In this episode of The Giovanne Show, host Giovanne Schachere sits down with Ken Nsimbi, a justice reform advocate and public servant whose journey spans continents and communities.

Born in Nairobi, Kenya, and now serving in leadership roles across Washington State — including the Seattle Community Police Commission and King County’s “Care & Closure” initiative — Ken shares his story of transformation, resilience, and purpose-driven leadership.

Together, Giovanne and Ken unpack the realities of reentry, the school-to-prison pipeline, and what it takes to build systems that heal instead of harm. This conversation is raw, faith-filled, and designed to spark action.

🎧 Topics Include:

  • Overcoming barriers as an immigrant and justice-impacted leader
  • Creating equitable pathways for youth and families
  • Reentry systems that prioritize healing and accountability
  • Faith, leadership, and purpose in public service
