This week our guest is Robin Keeble. Swoop met Robin last year and found Robin to have one of the most remarkable life stories of overcoming a life some may have witnessed and written off as worthless, as those who have lived similar lives may have written themselves off as worthless. Robin was a drug addict who prostituted herself or committed burglaries for money to buy heroin. Her habit kept her in and out of jail for 22 years. In 1996 she was released from prison and homeless. She was in La Palma Park in Anaheim, sharing needles with other homeless junkies when an AIDS Outreach Project worker approached her and asked if she was hungry and if she had a safe place to sleep. He offered her a free HIV test, food vouchers and help getting into a drug rehabilitation program. Since then Robin got sober, earned her Associate's, Bachelors, and Master's Degrees. Along the way she received recognition, awards and garnered the admiration of faculty of various institutions. Robin is the director of the AKA Angels; A women’s civic group that supports women that have been released from incarceration. She’s also involved with Community Advisory Representatives; a peer based mentoring group for those incarcerated in the Orange County Jail system. This doesn't begin to tell Robin’s wonderful story, the road she's traveled, and the work she does. Tune in and learn more about this beautiful soul who says "...If you believe you deserve a better life, you can make it happen." Also the Boys from LB Food Review are back! After trips to Boston, Tahoe, and who knows where this past month, Chris Livingston and Taylor Nelson, have decided to return to the LBC. Well isn't that special! A segment that is sure to be abounding with laughter. Join us Wed. night at 9pm (PST). Listeners can call in live (917) 889-7449 or join in via our online chat.
