This episode is truly one of a kind as Bobby sits down with Oballa Oballa. If you do not live in Austin, MN you have most likely never heard of Oballa before but he is a rising star! Oballa is a refugee from Ethiopia, where he witnessed mass killings that took the life of his uncle and hundreds of others. He survived a two-week walk across treacherous terrain to reach a refugee camp in Kenya. After essentially growing up in a refugee camp, he came to America. Bobby and Oballa talk about what it is like to grow up in a refugee camp and they talk about his leadership today in Minnesota. This is another conversation Bobby had on the heels of the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. It was particularly informative because Oballa lives in Austin, MN not far from Minneapolis.
