Gabrielle Montoya gets behind the mic to tell her story. Inspired by the Instagram page, "Love What Matters", she hopes her story will help others, like her, to know they are not alone in the struggle. This is just the first installment of Gabby's story which covers the first 20 years of her life. An absent biological father, raised around drug abuse and business, suffering a miscarriage at 17, and becoming a widow at 19.
"Love What Matters" in an Instagram page where members and followers of the group share their own stories of adversity, trauma, and life experiences aimed to uplift others. Gabby has always expressed her desire to write about her own experiences, but has trouble putting her words to paper. So, we felt it would be a better avenue for us to record her own voice and share a more natural conversation.
Today, I am graced with the presence of a Phoenix-based cultural artist on a meteoric rise. Lucinda Yrene Hinojos, AKA La Morena, is a painter/muralist whose creations help to promote activism within the marginalized indigenous population. As an "artivist", La Morena, uses her platform as a source for funding/awareness campaigns to get more voices involved and to be heard.

Today, I sit with Cesar Fazz. A Mexico-born retired Yuma, Az Lieutenant. During our talk, it became evident how fond he was about his tenured career in law enforcement. With public perception of police at an all-time low, I would implore you to be the change you would like to see. Visit your local precinct or government website to inquire about what it takes to serve your community.

Today, I sit with EoS master trainer, Mark "Thor" Neumeyer. I test his conversational fitness as I rifle through that incredible mind of his. Among a physical trainer, Mark is also a wildland firefighter, has been a stuntman, haunted house designer and actor, and is currently training for the Highland Games. He will also compete in his first Strongman competition, next year.
Mark has also dedicated time to train military personnel, both active and veteran. He hopes to make a big difference for those battling with depression and suicide.

Today, I crash The Upper Strata's recent West Coast tour. I connect with the chameleon-like duo, Johnny and Reg, on their Tempe, Az stop at The Timeout Lounge before their performance. We speak on their most recent album release, "Fog", and the "found sounds" that inspired many of the songs. Currently they call Basel, Switzerland home until their next stop on this pale blue dot. Having lived together in Europe and up and down the North American west, it becomes evident why their musical range is so vast. There is something for everyone to find some favorites combing through their decade-long catalog.
Johnny and Regula also had a local Arizona artist and friend open up for them. I had the honor to meet and interview Jedidiah "Jed" Foster of the band, The Bittersweet Way. They also have quite the musical catalog and lead singer, Jed, has been critically compared to Morrissey.
I really hope you enjoy the conversations and look to support your local artists!
