Justin Wren - The Amazing Story of 'The Big Pygmy' (#142) - a podcast by East Forest

A champion Greco-Roman wrestler, Justin Wren is an American humanitarian worker and a professional mixed martial artist. Having fought for himself as an MMA fighter for his entire life, Justin urges us to use the tools around us to Fight For The Forgotten. A professional competitor since 2006, Wren has also formerly competed for the UFC, and was a cast member of SpikeTV's The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights.

His life changed when he traveled to Congo to help the Pygmies. This ethnic group, indigenous to Africa, is preyed upon by armed rebels, being killed, raped and even eaten. Justin is now working with a Pygmy people in southwestern Uganda with the plan to take them from near extinction to a thriving, self-sufficient people. Today Justin “The Big Pygmy” Wren has expanded his Fight for the Forgotten to empower all those who don’t have a voice. He regularly speaks to raise awareness for those affected by the water crisis, as well as those who are bullied, and those suffering from depression and addiction.
