Host Sasha Graham welcomes CJ Stewart, former Chicago Cubs outfielder and a leading figure in baseball player development for this week's episode of Sports Will Save Us All. CJ has spent over 20 years in Atlanta, helping shape the futures of countless young athletes. In 2007, he and his wife Kelli founded the LEAD Center for Youth, a non-profit organization dedicated to using baseball and tennis to teach black youth how to overcome the hurdles of crime, poverty, and racism with remarkable results.
Discover how access to recreational sports can make a world of difference for at-risk children, the social-emotional learning traits nurtured through baseball, and the profound impact sports can have on black boys living in poverty.
You can learn more about CJ & Kelli’s LEAD Center for Youth by visiting LeadCenterForYouth.org. CJ’s baseball player development organization is online at DiamondDirectors.com and you can follow CJ on Instagram @IAmCJStewart.
