About this listen
In this inspiring episode of Food, Family, and Philanthropy, we sit down with Shanna St. John — Executive Director of Nat King Cole Generation Hope — to uncover how she's turning music into a powerful tool for education, healing, and community impact. From her early days in high-end retail to spearheading some of the region’s most meaningful nonprofits, Shanna shares her personal journey and how a lunch meeting with Nat King Cole’s daughters launched her into a mission that now puts instruments in the hands of children who need them most.
We dive deep into the transformative power of music, Shanna’s insights on leading a nonprofit through tough economic times, and the importance of supporting youth arts and women’s sports. Plus, don't miss her favorite local restaurants, her take on women's basketball, and the hilarious behind-the-scenes story of organizing a Lip Sync Battle for a cause. Whether you’re passionate about giving back, a music lover, or curious about the hidden work behind philanthropy, this episode will inspire and move you — and maybe make you hungry too.
