  • The doctors wrote him off as likely too obese to survive!! Today he is an "Athletic Beast" - The Inspirational story of Jimmy Roenick

    Send us Fan Mail

    15 years ago, I was admitted to the Mount Carmel Cardiac center, because I couldn't breathe, and my legs had ballooned up to 5 times their normal size! I was a chain smoker at just over 3 packs a day!

    An Alcoholic, and Drug abuser, opiate pain pills were my poison of choice, I was in a horrible marriage and when I was admitted to the cardiac care center, I tipped the scales at 420 lbs.! My Life wasn't in a very hopeful or promising place!

    That day in the cardiac unit my diagnosis wasn’t full of hope and promise either, Congestive heart failure, caused by pulmonary edema and a lower aortic heart aneurysm! The Doctors said not only was I so sick I wouldn't ever work again, but my chances of survival were also grim, and at best I would be on Oxygen 24-7 and need a literal bag of medicine to just keep me alive! I was 40 years old! My Health would improve slightly then backslide horribly when I would let my guard down basically when I would stop listening to the medical team trying to keep me alive!

    Soon I was back visiting all my old Demons and they remembered me well! Like best friends at a high school reunion, Whiskey Pain pills, and Lots of Junk food! I was already a type 2 Diabetic taking 2 different pills to control my blood sugar, I remember one time going to the Doctor for a monthly check-up after a Night of drinking Whiskey mixed with a few Percocet and getting a blood sugar reading of nearly 400! If you don't know, normal sugar levels are 100 or less! I remember acting shocked telling the Doctor this makes no sense I have been eating healthy and trying to exercise by walking, my acting wasn't so good he wasn't buying my “Bull” I was sent home with a prescription for insulin, and Trulicity both self-injectable medicine's!

    My Life was in a Dark and miserable place like I said earlier not much hope!

    That was then, this is now! my life is so Very Different now I hardly recognize it!

    Drugs and Alcohol Gone!

    Cigarettes are long Gone!

    Poor Health Gone!

    Bad Marriage Oh Yeah! Gone!

    This is me now! At 55 I am an Athletic Beast healthier and stronger than most 30-year-old folks!

    Best of all that Hopeless feeling is Gone!

    My Life Now is Blessed!

    My name is Jimmy Roenick

    I want to share some of the Steps Truths and wisdom I have found, mostly the hard way on my journey not only to self-improvement but for my very Survival!

  • Motivation in Today's World - An amazing conversation with Award Winning & Best Selling Author and Motivational Speaker - Anna Nyakana

    Anna Nyakana

    AWARD-WINNING & BESTSELLING AUTHOR, SPEAKER, PRODUCER, & SINGER-SONGWRITER
    Anna was born in Berlin, Germany in 1986 to a Ugandan father and German-Moldavian mother. Her family immigrated to the United States in the early ’90s, settling in Stamford, Connecticut. Beginning at age six, Anna pursued her musical passions and spent her teenage years honing her skills of songwriting and live performance until releasing her debut album in 2007 all while growing a revolutionary spirit through youth activism in her community. With a desire to be the change she wished to see in the world and manage an entrepreneurial career, she proceeded to attain her Bachelor’s degree in Business in 2011. Anna discovered there was an overwhelming need to empower the youth and chose to focus on literacy in order to give kids a true knowledge of self versus indoctrinated trauma. Out of this desire, the Niyah Zuri series was born and Anna took the next few years to write and publish her greatest literary work. "Niyah Zuri and The Pharaoh's Throne" hails as a time-bending exploration of Ancient Egypt lead by the fearless heroine Niyah Zuri and her best friends Miguel and Hugo Gonzales. The adventure continues in the long-anticipated sequel "Niyah Zuri and The Mayan Eclipse," both chapter books equipped with a full glossary and free online resources for parents and teachers to access.

    Anna has been featured on many media outlets to spread the Niyah Zuri message of diversity, empowerment, including SiriusXM, Entercom Radio, FOX, FOX Soul, PopFuzion TV, NBC CT, ABC WTNH, FOX 61, Connecticut Magazine, Sheen Magazine, Medium, and KIVO Daily. During her interview on SiriusXM’s “The Karen Hunter Show,” Anna stressed her mission of decolonizing the curriculums stating, “It is critical children see a reflection of themselves in the books that they read. My mission is to inspire them, one adventure at a time.” Working directly with school administrators, she has implemented the Niyah Zuri series in over 20 school districts nationwide. Building upon the book series, Anna is creating "Adventures with Niyah Zuri," a cartoon series, currently in production and being pitched to networks. The animation will also be released as a short film accompanied by its own original soundtrack, executive produced and performed by the multi-faceted visionary.   

    Anna Nyakana has received many honors including Connecticut Magazine's 2021 "40 Under 40" list and February cover,  2020 "100 Women of Color Award" and Valedictorian, and Official Citations from the Lieutenant Governor of Connecticut and Connecticut House of Representatives for her relentless advocacy on behalf of students in her home state to bring diversity back to the classroom. Additionally, Anna serves on the Board of Directors for the Born Rich Foundation, a Connecticut-based non-profit that addresses the socio-economy disparities in marginalized communities through education. The Niyah Zuri book series is available on www.annanyakana.com and all major bookstores/retailers. Anna Nyakana is based in Connecticut and New York, alternating between the two as she raises her children and grows her Niyah Zuri Movement for the youth!
