The GaptoothDiva Show

A pioneer in musical innovation and evolution, Electronica singer-songwriter Janid (Jah-NEED) has been unleashed upon the world since 2006 with her dark, sensual sounds; irreverent yet poetic lyrics; and distinctly commanding voice. After three evolutionary albums, spanning Latin, R&B, Pop and Dance genres, Janid has established herself as a powerhouse in entertainment today.

Recognized as a uniquely gifted and influential artist by thousands of fans, colleagues and the Recording Academy, Janid is often sought after for performances, endorsements and collaborations. She has appeared on projects for Frankie Cutlass, Nocera, Roy’al and Kaydean, movie soundtracks, television and radio commercials, and is the Spanish voice of 1-800-JETBLUE. In mid-2011, Janid is scheduled to make her big screen debut in the 5.2 Films motion picture “Bare Knucklez”.

Janid’s early work has already earned her a list of awards and accolades including the CNet Editor’s Pick for Brown Eyed Soul Artist Award, recognition from the Recording Academy, a nomination for Best Independent Artist of 2009 from Internet Radio Magazine, title of “New York’s Sexiest Latina” from Farandulife Magazine, two nationally televised performances at the New York National Puerto Rican Day Parade in 2006 and 2010, the most requested performer during the Gay Pride Events season in 2009, as well as international performance invitations from Mexico, Japan and South America. Even more impressive is that she has accomplished this without ever being signed to a major label.

Possibly the hardest working independent female recording artist of the new millennium, Janid has managed to forge a path of success where others have failed. She continues to brand an indelible mark by inspiring and encouraging a new generation of recording artists and leaves a sea of mesmerized fans in her wake with what they have labeled “the sound of the future”.

During the New Year season people all over the world develop resolutions towards making positive changes in their lives. Some people want to lose weight, some want to lose people. Some people decide that they want new jobs, want to quit smoking, or start dating again. Whatever their reasons are for wanting to change, a very large percentage of those individuals rarely ever stick to their proposed resolutions. It gets harder and harder every year to stick to the changes that you so desperately set for your self even if you intentions are truly genuine. Sometimes it’s a lack of support or maybe not enough will power, but to truly seek change in your life whether minor or major is going to take a lot more than a to do list and wishful thinking.

GaptoothDiva interviews candidly with Certified Life Coach Ryshonna Addision-Stith.

THE DEFINITION OF A LIFE COACH

These new professionals deal with relatively healthy people who want to improve their lives in specific ways, such as changing careers, finding a healthy relationship, taking their business to a new level, losing weight or deepening their self-understanding, for example. They deal with stress management as well as time management, goal setting and other key areas of change to help their clients lead more balanced lives that better reflect clients’ personal values and priorities. It differs from therapy in that the focus is more on the present and future than the past, more on goals and behaviors than emotions and emotional patterns, and there is a more equal balance of power between the coach and client than between the typical therapist and client.

GaptoothDiva talks with Virginia acoustic musical duo JuniperGreen on how taking a hobby and applying passion into it can develop into a new niche in life.

JuniperGreen was officially formed in early 2010 by Matt Sease and Luke (the Fro) Andrews. When these friends began writing music together, they had no idea what they were getting into. What began as a musical hobby soon turned into a full-on obsession, and small, sporadic school shows were replaced by multiple gigs every weekend. By summer 2010, JuniperGreen was playing all over Virginia.

Based in Mathews County, a small town on the Chesapeake Bay, this acoustic duo is quickly becoming a known name in the Tidewater area. Much of their music is inspired by the scenic views of their hometown, and their music definitely reflects that. Much like themselves, their live performance is incredibly diverse, with high-energy acoustic songs as well as slower, soothing ones. Their lyrics leave you pondering. The music leaves you yearning for more. And their true fans will tell you that they feel like part of the band. Their fans say ” I AM JUNIPERGREEN”.

JuniperGreen has played with the following artists:

Mike Aiken, Nora Jane Struthers, The Steel Wheels, Tim Buppert, Austin Cunningham, Phillip Roebuck, Paul Norfleet, Bavon Atomic, Rob Thompson, and more!

JuniperGreen has played at the following venues:

Joyner Field, Christ Church School, 2010 Gloucester Chalk Festival, Bellamy United Methodist Church, Mathews Market Days, Taste of Suffolk Downtown Street Festival, Squire’s Everyday Gourmet, Jalapeno‘s Mexican Restaurant, The Wild Rabbit Cafe’, Gloucester Main Street Farmers’ Market, The Hunt Club in Gloucester, and Shaka’s

?GaptoothDiva talks about the art of deception in relationships, careers, and life with Author Jackie White. Is it worth it to show someone that your not “the one to mess with” by seeking revenge?

People are not fully aware of the steps to take to avoid and protect themselves from it’s often painful and uncomfortable hold on unsuspecting lives.

Susanna is the 23rd child of 46 children, the quintessential middle child. Growing up in a fundamentalist religious home shaped her life, her values, and her views on literally everything. Although she is no longer affiliated with any polygamous group on a religious level she is surrounded by family and friends who are practicing polygamists. Susanna lives in Bluffdale Utah with her husband, six children and their dog.

Young Susanna didn’t know anything other than the family environment that was created for her; a system without regard for society or man’s laws. Raised in a sequestered home in a busy city neighborhood, everything beyond the front gate was off-limits.

The isolation proved to be a breeding ground for abuse and Susanna struggled to reconcile her desire to escape and her need to belong. The book recounts six critical years of Susanna’s youth during which she struggled to come to terms with the conditions of her life.

This coming of age story is as much a testament to survival as it is to surrender. Pushed to the limits of her coping abilities, Susanna tried everything she could think of to bring about the peace that always seemed out of reach.

In an impulsive moment and an act of daring, she contacted a newspaper journalist and found herself in a predicament that she never before considered. That decision became the impetus that propelled her to where she wanted to be and to finally find personal peace.

Although Ms. Barlow is no longer affiliated with any polygamous group on a religious level, she is surrounded by family and friends who are practicing polygamists. She says, “Although I suffered abuse at the hands of one of “the mothers”, I currently know many decent people who are living this lifestyle.”

GaptoothDiva Radio broadcasting Live from Fonticello park on Southside Repping the community and beyond.

GaptoothDiva talks candidly with Author LaDonna Smith about overcoming what some call a situation so close to “hell”… relationship abuse. If you or someone you know has experienced relationship abuse, whether physical, verbal or emotional, this is the show you need to listen to. The key points that we will be discussing surrounding this book are: (1) the need for continued awareness and education about domestic violence, (2) the need for an international database of marriages which can be accessed and used to verify marital statuses by (at min) state and government officials, and (3) the need for a domestic violence and abusers database. Sex offenders have a database why not those who commit domestic violence, as well as abusers?

For four and a half years author LaDonna M. Smith thought that she was married to the man of her dreams but the marriage turned out to be a four and a half year nightmare, which God made disappear in moments.

On August 14, 2003, LaDonna got married to a man she was prepared to spend the rest of her life. However, after days and months of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual abuse she found the strength to leave him. But she would soon return to endure even more hardships some repetitious some worse.

Finally, a year later she left for good and three and a half years later she filed for a divorce. Only to find out that her spouse had filed for an annulment a month later. How can he file for an annulment after so many years of marriage? Because - before, during, and after their marriage he was still legally married to his first wife.

The book I Married Satan takes you inside the life of a woman who suffered, endured and eventually triumphed through an abusive marriage; swallowed the pain; forgave her ex ____________ (you fill in the blank) and has since become stronger, wiser, and more spiritual than she could have ever imagined.

?Kelly Collins, author, psychic-medium, consultant, musician, artist, writer, teacher, Reiki master, spiritual life coach. First, above all else, she is a very spiritual person.

GaptoothDiva chops it up with Lez, Author and Publisher of “A Lesson Learned”, a life-like illustration of a young woman from Richmond, making hard life decisions on quest to support herself and her child. GaptoothDiva picks her brain on the self-publishing process and ask how new writers embark on the process of putting their first book on the market without the need to submit to small and large publishing houses.

Lez is a native of New Jersey who currently resides in Richmond, Virginia. Her life experiences and observations of others have provided her with the realization that drama is worth learning from.

“A Lesson Learned” is Lez’s self-published debut novel, which is a compilation of her own personal lessons creatively intertwined with those of others that ultimately created a page-turning depiction of life’s harsh realities, complex conclusions, and enough humor to make you laugh.

Lez’s inspirations include the works of others such as J. California Cooper and Sista Souljah. She is very compassionate about reaching out to women who may have struggles in their lives that can be turned into positive experiences. As a result of her outreach, she founded a women’s networking and social group named Shades of Mahogany in Richmond, Virginia. This group provides an atmosphere of trust, community service and positive energy.

The proud mother of two continues to work on many novels to come. Her writings are an easy read and are bound to include at least one character that is walking in your shoes. Be on the lookout for her next novel that will have you turning from cover to cover.
