Summary

On today’s episode we’re delighted to have Karl Lokko in the studio. Karl is a former gang leader turned activist, influencer, poet, public speaker, philanthropist and adventurer. Having grown up on the gang-ridden Myatts Field estate, Karl saw his first shooting at the age of 12 and went on to be shot at, stabbed, cut in the face and witness to his close friends’ murders. It wasn’t until the intervention of a Church-run anti-youth violence project that Karl was able to denounce his gang involvement and turn his life around. Now a successful campaigner, Karl works to reform gang culture and fight for social justice.
