"Michael"

Early in the morning, on August 1st, 2019, my mom passed away from her battle with Pancreatic Cancer. She was 70 years old.

In this podcast series, I discuss what happened the night my mom transitioned and all of the values she instilled in me throughout my life. I walk you through different events in our lives and what they taught me about life. These values have made me who I am. I would not change anything about them.

These are recordings that I recorded over a week-long process in early 2021. They are raw and uncut. I did no editing to the audio files other than having them mixed by an Audio Engineer.

Listen to a glimpse of my life with my mother, Diane Lopez.

Sometimes people cross your path and you don’t know why. In this episode, Photographer Art Smith stops by and talks about photography and life. Our paths crossed on social media and in real life. Listen as we learn where he grew up and how photography has been something that has helped him document his life over the last 20 years.

I first met this man almost 20 years ago. We only spoke a few words. I was his daughter's basketball coach when she was in high school. Fast forward a few years and listening to him play bass at various events around Bakersfield, California and I quickly realized he is a super talented musician. In this episode, Jay Jay Hicks and I sit down and talk for the first time in a real conversation. We talk about where he grew up and when he learned to play music. We also talk about music and the various artist we enjoy. Also, we talk about his time in the National Guard and his views on Politics and Racism in America. It is a great conversation.
