  • Johnathon J. Smith Dares to Dream, Plays to Win
    Times: 7:00 pm EST / 8:00 pm AST  www.DaretoDreamPlaytoWin.com
    Johnathon J. Smith seeks to inspire student-athletes with his new children's book, Dare to Dream, Play to Win. A heart-warming and motivational story presented as part of a world-class package, Smith wrote the book to show how young children can take the lessons learned from sports and apply them to the classroom. It is designed to encourage them to stay in school and learn all they can while still participating in team sports. The book discusses some of the issues Johnathon faced as an athlete.
    A former University of Connecticut football player, Smith was hungry to be a great student athlete. He says, “You see, I was in search of a quick way to cash in, but somewhere along the way I realized that an education was far more valuable than what any sport or paycheck could offer.” He transferred to the University of Delaware where a greater emphasis was placed on academics. Since graduating, he started a personal fitness company that provides personal training services from the comfort of his own studio, select outdoor locations in South Florida, or his clients’ own fitness facilities. He is also actively volunteers to many events and nonprofit organizations serving kids.
    Smith pursued an NFL career after rising through the ranks to play Division I football. Through his experiences he came to realize that he needed to focus on his degree because football wasn’t going to support him for the rest of his life.
    Finalizing an adult book with the same title, he designed it to be a guide for those who desire to pursue college sports.

  • Teshanne Phillip Gets You Ready to Elevate Your Life
    Growing up as a young girl on St. John, in the US Virgin Island Teshanne Phillip fondly recalls the island women who served as her mentors. Now, with the release of her first book, Elevate, Phillip hopes to empower young women in the Virgin Islands — and nationwide — by sharing her own experiences and by teaching them about subjects like forgiveness, achieving greatness, and setting and accomplishing goals.
    “I am so excited about this new project, and I am blown away by the feedback that I’ve been receiving on the book,” said Phillip.
    The St. John native, who graduated from Ivanna Eudora Kean High School in 1999, today lives in South Florida where she leads a mentorship program at a foster home. Her relationship with the young women in the home inspired her to help others achieve greatness.
    Phillip’s passion for the girls in the foster home is evident as she speaks about her interactions with them. Ranging in age from 14 to 17, the young women were removed from their homes due to their parents passing away or being incarcerated. Some of the teens have been in the home from a very young age.

  • Mondays at 8:00 - Authors Supporting Authors Presents Wesley Godfather Hunter
    Times: 8:00 pm EST / 9:00 AST. Please check the time in your time zone.
    Welcome to our Mondays at 8:00: Authors Supporting Authors series, brought to you as a joint project by authors April Thomas and Etienne A. Gibbs. Each week we shall interview authors about their work and the disciple behind their writing. Call 646-721-9611 during the show with your questions or comments.
    This week's author: Wesley “Godfather” Hunter
    Born and raised in the streets of Los Angeles, Mr. Wesley “Godfather” Hunter began his journey of gang-banging and crime at a very youthful age. By age 10 he’d already experienced his first arrest and stay in a jail cell. By the age of 12 he’d begun a career of incarceration, which has kept him physically imprisoned for most of his life. Yet, even in this, life has not left him bitter and he continues to strive, finding the strength within himself to overcome against the odds.
    Now a 32 year-old aspiring author, currently incarcerated in the California Dept. of Corrections where he is serving out the remainder of a 20 year sentence for commercial armed robbery and 2 counts of attempted murder on sheriff’s deputies, Wesley has used his time wisley. Devoted to spreading the word of change/love and self-respect in his works and titles, he spends most of his time focused on positive writings, thoughts and goals geared towards improving himself, and giving something back to society in the form of insight, experience, and wisdom.
    Mr. Godfather has written several novels and an autobiography but has since established his own Urban Diamonds Publishing to release his latest titles. He has started a youth help organization, “The Raw Truth”, to bring forth through the inner city churches and other youth-related programs.
