Izzy shares his journey fleeing violence in Burundi, Africa when he was 14 years old, to learning English as a new language here in America. We dive into how Izzy began playing football, which brought him into our family, and how he’s gone on to be a top awarded player in the state. Through it all, he has kept such a positive spirit and drive to succeed and I know you’re going to be inspired by his resilience.
