Confessions of an Unhoused Man in Malibu: I'm on a Mission from God ~Daremo’s Story

On this episode of Confessions at the Cabana, we do something that doesn’t happen nearly enough… We give an unhoused person the space to share his story. ~Daremo is a familiar face along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, walking daily with his two dogs, Sweets and Friend, cleaning up trash and caring for the community. Not for recognition—but in the hope of inspiring others to do the same. He doesn’t resonate with the word “homeless.” He prefers unhoused, reminding us that home isn’t a place—it’s something you carry within your heart. ~Daremo says he’s on a pilgrimage—living with purpose, devoted to serving God, and guided by compassion. But beyond his story, this conversation is an invitation… To slow down. To listen. To see the human being in front of you. Because so often, people who are unhoused are judged, dismissed, or overlooked—without anyone ever asking who they are, what they’ve lived through, or what they have to say. ~Daremo’s message is simple: Judge less. Love more. Care for each other and the world we share. He even hands out bumper stickers that read “Don’t Litter” and “Our Community Cares”—small reminders that we’re all responsible for this place we call home. This episode is about presence, compassion, and the power of giving someone a voice. New episodes drop bi-weekly on Tuesdays. Watch or listen—and maybe the next time you see someone who’s unhoused, you pause… and choose curiosity over judgment. If you’re in Malibu and see ~Daremo with Sweets and Friend, stop and say hi.

Confessions of a Hollywood Composer: Richard Gibbs on Music, Loss & Legacy
