In this episode, Ryan talks about his experience with as a white man living America and his perspective on the scars of racism and his desire for healing the divide.

ABOUT RYAN:

Ryan “Ryz” Walker has been giving free hugs and making beats since he was in diapers. As a baby he innately danced and banged on pots and pans, which naturally led to a Muppet Babies drum kit. Love and rhythm weren’t the only things moving young Ryz, however. He also enjoyed singing. His mother often broke out a microphone and cassette deck to record his sister and him performing smash hits such as “Itsy Bitsy Spider” and “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” From day one, music, love and joy were one in the same for young Ryz. 

 

As a kid, he would daydream about a world filled with love while hypnotized by the sounds of jazz and hip-hop, courtesy of the orchestra in his mind. Melodies, harmonies, rhythms and rhymes constantly filled his soul. At age 8 his parents divorced, which gave music an additional role in his life. It became a way for Ryz to express and cope with pain. This was the first time he became aware of music as a healer. He started putting rhymes down on paper and formed his first group in fifth grade where he and some friends rapped and danced. He also studied the saxophone and once middle school came around he was playing the drums in jazz band. As music and love continued to express through Ryz, he was voted class friendliest by his peers; an acknowledgement he is still grateful for to this day.

With music as his companion, Ryz has deepened his understanding of love through self-reflection, life lessons, and being a shoulder for others to lean on. His path eventually lead him to the practice of Transcendental Meditation, developed by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (famed guru to the Beatles). Not long after discovering meditation, he enrolled at the University of Santa Monica where he obtained certification in Advanced Spiritual Psychology, acquiring 480 hours of practice in facilitating self-discovery. Another significant part of his transformation has included adopting an intermittent fasting vegan lifestyle along with releasing 85 lbs. and counting. 

   

It’s no surprise that Ryz is still giving free hugs and making beats. They remain foundational in his being, as he uses his story, music, life’s challenges and victories, to empower, uplift and inspire. Since his Susquehanna days, Ryz knew his journey included good friend and soul brother, Evan Bane. This brotherhood and shared purpose of raising the vibration of love on the planet has emerged as

The Wake Up Experience.

In this episode, Dr. Tongie Scott discusses her experience being a single Mom (with three children by the age of 21), sexual abuse, a lack of connection with her birth father and promiscuity. Here she discusses the work and faith she had to have to pull herself back up and continue to pursue her dream of becoming a medical doctor.

#selflove

ABOUT DR. TONGIE SCOTT:

Tongie Scott, a.k.a. Dr. Tongie helps countless soon-to-be business owners/individuals live a more productive, dedicated, and purposeful life. Oprah in the Natural. Moses in the Spirit. Born in Columbus, Mississippi, to Annie Brown and Joe Fenton, Dr. Tongie faced unforeseen and unimaginable circumstances.  Being introduced to the importance of establishing a relationship with God through Christ at a very young age; Dr. Tongie has seen firsthand the benefits of this relationship. After attending Caldwell High School and graduating a year early, Dr. Tongie quickly learned that life needed a plan of action. Forced to discontinue her studies at Mississippi University for Women in the fall of 1988, Dr. Tongie focused on becoming a great Mother to her three children: Ty, Tryone, and Morgan.  But as life would have it, Dr. Tongie, in 1992, was diagnosed with malignant papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. After treatment of radiation therapy, Dr. Tongie was finally ready to thrust herself into life.

Upon matriculating into medical school at 31 years old; Dr. Tongie proved to herself and her children that no matter how old you are if you believe that you can and deserve to be “here”; you will.  Before launching interactive shows such as Talk to Tongie (featured on Facebook Live) and the Dr. Tongie Show, (featured on LA Talk Radio), Dr. Tongie served several years as the CEO of Me and My Nanna, LLC-A Home Care Company.  And as a medical consultant for families looking for skilled facilities, convalescent homes and assisted living facilities for their loved ones. After a successful career helping adult students discover their passion in medicine and serving as an in-demand motivational and inspirational speaker; Dr. Tongie now creates opportunities for those who desire to truly discover who they were born to be by asking five (5) simple questions: (1) Who are you?; (2) Where are you from?; (3) What can you do (your abilities)?; (4) Why were you born?; and (5) What is your destiny? She believes that the individual who can answer those questions will cause a shift in their lives, and they will be the change they want to see in themselves.

When not traveling, Dr. Tongie enjoys spending time with her family and dancing. One of her favorite places to go and have fun...a Zumba Class.

Scott St. Patrick discusses his experience as an actor recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). He speaks about how it has affected him as an actor and shifted his outlook on life. 

ABOUT SCOTT:

Scott St. Patrick is an American writer and actor from Westchester, NY. Classically trained, Scott has studied with such stalwarts in theatre like Deena Levy, Trudy Steibl, and Rochelle Oliver at HB Studios. His passion and studies have led him to work with major repertoire theatres on and off Broadway; including starring in the smash faith based production, “Laid Off” at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Since moving to Los Angeles in 2009, Scott has appeared in a variety of commercials, Independent films, and theatre productions. However, his staple has been the production of his spellbinding, one-man play, “Act God” which was executive produced by mentor and friend Don B. Welch. 

In addition to acting, Scott has a strong passion for bringing awareness to social issues through his writing. The recent shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, two black men shot and killed by law enforcement in 2016, prompted Scott to write the controversial play Minority Report in September of 2016. Not only was the show well received (Standing Room Only) but it is currently being used by several colleges and universities as a part of their diversity initiatives.

Daarina and Nick share their experience living with sickle cell disease and how it has impacted their health, relationships, career and shifted their outlook on life.

Daarina Marie produced her first pilot for Endemol in 2007, spurring her move to Los Angeles from her native Chicago. She graduated, with honors, with her B.A. in Television Production and Directing from Columbia College Chicago. Since then, she has worked on and produced for a variety of top-rated television shows including America's Got Talent and The X-Factor, as well projects for OWN, ABC, Facebook Watch, FOX, HBO Max, Netflix and more. She's always enjoyed the art of storytelling. Taking advantage of creative opportunities at an early age, allowed her to land in the Smithsonian at only 10-years-old and have her first play she wrote at 11-years-old, get selected to tour. Currently, she is the creator and director of the award-winning digital series “Chronicles of a Dark Child In Hollywood.” In the series, real people share their truths, through comedy, about their most awkward experiences and what it’s like being a person of color in Hollywood. Her goal with creating it is to help change the narrative for African-Americans and other POCs everywhere by creating a dialogue. Although the series highlights stories told by people in the entertainment industry, POCs anywhere and in any profession can relate. In her free time, she loves thrifting and mentoring teens for the Sickle Cell Disease Foundation of California.
