Good evening, ladies, and Gentlemen,          
            Suicide Awareness started last week. And as promised I am putting out content that is related to suicide awareness. In this episode, I laid out the foundation of suicide awareness month. We talked about facts and even through in some stats. But we are far from over. Now we can investigate signs and ways to help others deal with depression. At times we all go through struggles and obstacles that may seem forever coming and never-ending. But we must keep fighting because it only makes us stronger at the end of the day. This is the time to find a friend that you trust and let them know that they can come to talk to you whenever they are feeling down or having those thoughts of hurting themselves. 

Be Safe, Be Kind, Be Different. 

To be 100% honest with you, this episode was supposed to be out last week. But I put out another episode called "Emergency - Texas New Abortion Law". I didn't want to put both episodes out at around the same time, so I waited.

  Thanks Again for all the Support!

Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen,
      Disclaimer* I am very passionate about topics that include women's rights. The reason why this is called "Emergency" is that I didn't want to hold off on talking about this new law in Texas. I believe that women have the right to do whatever they want with their bodies. The government should not be able to make laws that restrict women on what they can do with their bodies. I understand that people have their own views on abortions, but look at the other side of the road. What type of life would that child be alive if the women kept it? We have too many children in foster care. To many on the streets. Sometimes we need to make the hard decisions in order for it to be the best decision for women. 

September is Suicide Awareness Month. I will be making episodes on that topic. No matter what you're going through, there is always someone who has an ear for you to talk to.

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen,
      Thank You! For your amazing support for listening to my podcast. It only pushes me to give more and to talk about more topics that are not spoken about more in the media.  In today's episode, we talk about Walt Disney World union members getting the vaccine and I will be doing more follow up with cast members that I know, to get their input on how they feel about choosing a vaccine or unemployment. We also discussed the new CDC moratorium and how it's affecting Landlords across the nation. Understand we have assistance programs in place to help everyone in need. But remember we always have people trying to cheat the government, which in turn makes getting on these programs just a little bit harder for people who really need it. The link for Rental Assistance will be below.

Welcome back Ladies and Gentlemen,
          In this episode, it was an honor to be able to sit down and talk with an amazing woman by the name of Difernt. Difernt reached out to our podcast show to talk about her new book called "WHAT IF? A Controversial Paradigm Shift". She was graceful enough to share a copy of the book with me. I started reading it and by the gods, it was an eye-opener. Most of you know I love talking about social issues on the show, and this book took social issues and reversed the roles. An example would be: Instead of Africans being slaves, Europeans were slaves instead. This is how the book starts off and as you read more into it, each page starts with a "What If?" question. It truly makes you think what if the roles were reversed. Would European-descents face the same issues that African-descents face in today's age? Difernt is an exceptional woman, her journey through life shows us that no matter where you start you can end up doing amazing things. With her book, Difernt is pushing an envelope that many of us dare to open. But in order for us as a community to spark the change, we need to talk about issues that have been swept under the rug. Change starts with us, in the present. We can't change the past but we can look toward the future but change needs to starts now in the present, not tomorrow or next week.

Congrats! We made it to the 10th Episode! Thank you to everyone who listens to the show and shows support. I love you all!

Special Thanks to Difernt and TH3RD EYE Entertainment.

Good Evening Community Leaders,
      Should You Get Vaccinated?  This is 100% your choice whether to get vaccinated or not. Many people with whom I have spoken with are vaccinated because a loved one has passed away due to the virus. We as a people owe it to ourselves to not only protect ourselves but protect our community. Because in due time, we hope to get back somewhat of our normal lives. For those of you who do not want to get vaccinated please I beg you to Wear Your Mask when you are out in public around people you do not know. This will protect you. Even though some of us are young and healthy, we are still at risk. Do your part Wear A Mask or Get Vaccinated either choice will protect you and your loved ones from catching this deadly virus.

Changes: As I spoke about this in the show, there are some changes coming down the road for Building a Better Community. I am hopeful that the changes are for the best. I will be switching up the format in how I do the podcast. Further information will be coming soon!

Thanks for listening to the show! It means so much that we have dedicated listeners. Please share this episode with your friends and family.

Good Morning Ladies and Gentleman,
       Is Sex important in a relationship? That is the question that Millz and myself look into. I really wanted to look into how social media plays a part in a relationship. Whether that be same-sex couples or opposite-sex couples, either way in this show we learn the cons and pros. Social media has become an outlet for how we express ourselves but we must not forget that social media is always there but human interaction with our partner can be lost in a snap. Enjoy those moments you make with your partner because that is what matters at the end of the day.  There is a saying "never take life for granted." That goes for your partner as well, spend as much time with them instead of being on social media.

Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen,
        In this episode, Millz and I take a look into the Job Market and where it stands as of today. We also share our very own thoughts on government assistance programs and how they're being used for the wrong reason by common people.  I understand that getting a job for most people is hard because you may have other things that are keeping you from working. Trust me I've been in your shoes at least once. Don't ever give up on yourself, keep pushing, and sooner or later some type of work will come your way.  As a way of helping the community here is a list of a couple of Be your Own Boss jobs: 
Please don't forget to share the podcast with your friends, and then have them share it as well.  Thanks a ton! Love you all! Be Smart. Be Kind. Be Different.

Good Morning Community Leaders, 
           I had so much fun recording this episode with a  very good friend of mine Aaron, we work together in the past at Universal Orlando Resort. Aaron reached out to me about doing a show around homelessness and the effects it played on his family. I agreed hands down! Because this a community-based podcast and I wanted to shed some light on issues that not only we face here at home but what most people are feeling and/or facing around our country.  The stats alone on homeless youth is very devastating. Aaron and I spoke about there not being enough resources to combat this issue. And as Community Leaders (what I refer to my listeners as) we should take more of a stand on this issue. Small steps, nothing huge but small enough that we make an impact. 

Be Kind. Be Smart. Be Different.

I had the amazing chance to sit down with one of the Top Influencers in Orlando Fl, Elijah Alexx. We spoke about two things: How to become an Influencer and The LGBTQ Community. Both topics I wanted to hit on for Pride Month. This episode is very close to heart, we wanted to make sure that issues that face the LGBTQ Community were spoken about and we shared our thoughts on those issues. Pride is not just a month-long event is a lifetime movement. It celebrates the achievements and it also looks at the issues The Community sees looking forward. Thank You for listening to the show and please share on your social media platforms as well.

Community Outreach:

In this episode, Millz and I take a look at "The System" (Justice System) and how it affects the Black Community. We give some facts and even some ways on how we (The Community) at home can make an impact. Reform on this topic needs to be addressed from the top. Our government leaders need to take more of a stand on making the justice system not see color. That's easier said than done. This is not the last you will hear about "The System". We will be taking a small break to give the spotlight to the LGBTQ+ Community and learning what it tasks to be an Influencer. I hope you all like the show.  Be Smart. Be Kind. Be Different. Please be aware that the "f" word is said a couple of times.
