Since he was just a boy at Hilliard Davidson High School, comedian Fumi Abe used his jokes to ease the alienation of being one of the only Asians in his class.
Years later, his comedy took him to Stephen Cobert, James Corden and Jimmy Fallon. Now, he’s coming back home to Columbus for his tour.
After spending a month in Russia as a teenager, Emelia Sheeley decided she wanted to pursue a career of international service.
For almost 10 years, she has been involved with the Riverview International Center, assisting new Americans in the Riverview Drive neighborhood with their basic needs.
We’ll meet the executive director of PBJ Connections, an organization providing professional behavioral health therapy for families through several forms of counseling, including horses.
The discussions are all part of this week's Fascinating Ohio.
Guests:
- Fumi Abe, comedian
- Emelia Sheeley, executive director, Riverview International Center
- Holly Jedlicka, executive director, PBJ Connections, Inc.
