Hosted by Alexandria Jones, Beyond the Hoodie dives deep into the inspiring story of 19-year-old Lionel Baldwin, who was bullied for his weight from the age of six—before he even realized he was “fat.” Despite being one of the biggest kids in his class, Lionel found ways to cope, excelling in sports, academics, and social circles. Now a sophomore at the University of Michigan, he opens up about his transformation—from never taking off his hoodie to embracing a healthier lifestyle and a bright future.
