The Big O Talks Nonprofit Fraud and Reclaiming The Village on Seattle News Weekly
The Big O recently joined Seattle News Weekly on FOX 13 Seattle to discuss the upcoming Reclaiming the Village Summit at Garfield High School and ongoing King County nonprofit fraud.
The upcoming Reclaiming The Village Summit is happening tomorrow, Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The summit is designed to set up Garfield families to successfully uplift their children, following the murder of student Amarr Murphy-Paine in 2024 and the pain and trauma that has faced the community in recent years.
"If we're not walking a mile in the shoes of students, if we're not walking the mile in the shoes of these young people, then we won't understand their challenges and we're not able to help them,” The Big O said.
On the alleged nonprofit fraud concerns, The Big O pointed to the tens of millions of dollars that never touched the streets they were meant to be invested in. “The biggest question I want to know is, who is going to hold the people who stole from us accountable?” he said.
Stay tuned for the return of The Big O Show on Monday, January 12.
