Romy: Welcome back to the Bonfires of Social Enterprise. This is Romy, and we have a real treat for you. We are joined by Khali Sweeney of the Downtown Boxing Gym Youth Program in Detroit.  Khali does not usually do interviews, and he granted us a favor and let's us in on some of his passion for the kids and the big why' for the boxing gym. And let me give you a little hint, his why has to do with his incredible testimony that he so humbly discusses.
