Off The Chain

You know, its never been about fame and fortune for me.  I am a proud Wife, Mother, Friend, Aunt, Sister, LPN, Activist, Supporter, Employee, Community Contributor and Citizen.  I can never get enough of spreading the word to my community and my nation about how we all need to get involved, make a difference and educate ourselves.My book “Eighteen Brothers and Sisters” was  burning inside of me. I knew that by getting my story out,  I would be able to touch people and create a platform for many issues.  I have had many opportunities to speak to groups about my book; and so many times I get  “Thank you for sharing your story about Domestic Violence”, and then other times “Wow, you are spreading the word about education and taking control of your life”.  Both issues are very near and dear to my heart.   I want people to have hope, to have a dream of something better for themselves-whether they are struggling with abuse and how to take control of their lives- or if they just have a burning desire to contribute. My radio show came out of a need for more of a consistent public platform.  I am on every Monday from 1pm – 2pm, on WMEL 1060 and www.1060WMEL.com .  All Natural Skin Care – Simply Seeta Simply Seeta is an all natual FDA approved Skin Care line. We designed it for everyone who wants better skin without harsh chemicals and overwhelming smells. You will love the line from Simply Seeta.  Eighteen Brothers and Sisters, a memoir by Seeta Begui, is an inspirational message of the power of sacrifices, mentors, education and training to make a difference.

Cyphier is an industrial/electro artist from London, Ontario.  Consisting of Louis Cyphier (vocals, electronics) and Jason Norwood (synthesizers, percussion, vocals), Cyphier formed in 2015 out of a desire to explore varied musical influences.  The experimentalism of early industrial bands like Cabaret Voltaire and Skinny Puppy, combined with a more modern electronic sound, define the unique vision and sound of Cyphier. Prior to Cyphier, Louis was a well-known industrial DJ in North America.  Norwood, aside from running his label Hope Mansion Recordings, has been recording various forms of electronic and alternative music for 25 years.  The pair originally met around the turn of the century while Louis was a DJ in London. Cyphier’s first album, Overthought, was recorded as a concept record with a heavy anti-suicide message and released in early fall of 2015.  2016 saw the band release their follow-up, Subversion, while on tour in Eastern Canada.  The second album blends the experimental sound of Overthought while adding a more danceable touch.  Both albums were released through Hope Mansion Recordings.

Tonight's show is quite ecelctic. I have not one but two great guests on my show. The first guest is Kelly J Koch with Dressing Your Book. She is also my co-host for the night. We will dig into her publishing business in the second hour - From 8-9 we will be talking to Madeline Robinson with Wheelchairs for Kids, a non-profit foundation for children with disablities. This foundation is located on the West Coast of Florida and let me tell you they do a great job getting chairs and ramps for homes of these children and their families.  Madeline Robinson has worked in the non-profit sector in a management or executive position for the past 18 years.Madeline started Wheelchairs 4 Kids in 2011 when she saw a gap in the system that was not being filled.  She lives by the motto of “They can’t say yes if you don’t ask!” Dressing Your Book Bio Kelly J. Koch has been an avid reader all of her life.  So when she was given the opportunity to read some written by a friend of hers she, of course, jumped at the chance.  Upon reading the books she noticed some errors in the books, as all books seem to have now, even those from the major authors.  After speaking with the author she was asked to proofread and edit the books for the author.  That is how it all began.
