Emerging From The Dark

Dream chaser radio was birthed by Singer/entertainer, and daughter of multi-platinum recording artist Evelyn Thomas, Yaya Diamond in 2007. Since she has interviewed many Grammy award-winning artists, award-winning producers, authors, inventors, etc. She built the station on the foundation of supporting others by giving them the opportunity to showcase their talents on the show, blog posts, video, reviews, press releases, the station's Roku channel, and on social media. Yaya Diamond has shown the "Special Talents" of all who come on the show and not just celebrities, but people like you and I who have goals and dreams. If you are a dream chaser and want inspiration and companionship on your journey then this is the best place to get it.

What happens when someone rebels against the traditions and beliefs of family, religion, and culture?  How does that impact someone's self-worth? How does a person work on both self-worth and self- awareness?

Kat is a blogger, self-described Sociology Geek, and a sexual violence survivor.  Kat's blog is dedicated to inspiring positive change in the world.  Kat believes in using the power of our stories and our voices to advocate for a brighter tomorrow.  Deanna and Kat discuss Kat's story and how to reframe your vision of justice when the legal system fails you.

Emergency Numbers by Country (these are police emergency numbers, not abuse hotlines)

After years of minimizing my abuse, therapy, bad choices, more therapy, and arguing with myself, I decided it is time to do this. It is time to tell my story, share my writings, and bare my soul. I do this knowing there will be some who will not believe me. I know I will lose friends and family. But what I gain is more important. I gain my self-esteem, my self-respect. I can hold my head up high knowing I’ve told the truth. I lived through hell and came out stronger.
