A Father's Journey to Empower Youth Through Purpose and Community with Bivian "Sonny" Lee III | #TheLastZebraPod

In this powerful episode of The Last Zebra Podcast, Bivian “Sonny” Lee III, Founder & CEO of Son of a Saint, sits down with Dr. Ugo Ezema to share how losing his father at age three shaped his purpose and inspired him to help fatherless boys in New Orleans find guidance, family, and belonging.

What started as a simple mission, to mentor boys growing up without dads, has become one of the city’s most transformative youth programs. For nearly 15 years, Son of a Saint has changed hundreds of lives through mentorship, therapy, education, and unconditional support.

In this heartfelt conversation, Sonny opens up about grief, resilience, fatherhood, and what it means to turn pain into purpose. His story is a testament to how healing one life can ripple through generations.

This is The Last Zebra - real stories, real people, and the courage it takes to care.
