Parables from the Projects

We're still celebrating the New Year though we are taking it back to some old lessons.

Gordy was in the hospital but was grateful for the amazing podcast with our special guests from our 'Live from Hollywood' episode. In celebration of National Mentoring Month, Mia takes us back to when she shared stories about the mentors she met along her journey with middle school students.

In this week's parables, the first of the new year and new decade (hyped), Gordy continues speaking about his time at Hunter College, still taking out the children from the projects and what he learned. With insight from college student Jalyn, Mia and Gordy give advice to college students who may be discouraged or anxious about their future.

Gordy and Mia BOTH were impacted in a major way by the founder of CCC Dr. AR Bernard, Sr. and they both speak about him briefly as he is today's 'Person of the Week.'

In this episode, Gordy joins Mia in Hollywood, and then the unexpected happens, again. Right before their second live taping, Gordy is back to the same place he was before their first.

Nonetheless, they have Bobby "Yay Yay" Jones, the inspiration behind Netflix's Imperial Dreams, Morehouse and USC Film School Grad Tarik Jackson, and North Philly Native and Yale grad Rhasaan Nichols. They all speak on how the hood prepared them for Hollywood and the importance of sharing their stories.

In this season premiere Wendy, Mia's mom, comes on and speaks about growing up in Brownsville and being lured towards the projects, not being able to stay in the projects outside of her control, and how she came to know Christ.

In this final episode for season 1, Gordy and Mia hosted a live event in front of family and friends and even had some of them join them on the show!

It was a night to be remembered as Gordy, Mia, Jhanee, Indya, Charisma, Onika, Gloria and Wendy went down memory lane, speaking about what they learned from the projects as well as how it prepared them for where they are today. The video can be seen on their new website parablesfromtheprojects.com or on youtube.com/miahallsmiles.
