Giving Back to your Community Lina Lumme was a Russian immigrant, homeless and got to America with $100 in her pocket in 2003. She is now the CEO of The Youth Center serving over 3,000 kids in 20 cities in Southern California. Please consider listening to my interview last week on my Ameritocracy show where Lina shares her incredible story. Her testimony also reiterates how important a strong local community can provide to those in need. Lina, thank you for your service and for being a great example of all of the great things America provides!! I will be honest, a couple times in this interview I almost lost my composure as your story hit my heart as you bravely put your story on the line. I am sure I won’t be alone.
