On the latest episode of Real Chicks Rock! Presents Real Discussions: Real Chicks Rock!. 

I enjoyed this engaging and thought-provoking conversation. 

We explore the world of music with guests Richard Cook and Ron Smith. From our diverse musical backgrounds to promoting unknown artists, we discuss the soul symphony and the importance of storytelling through music.

'The Soul Symphony' will be held at Morehouse College's King Chapel. They chose Morehouse because it is a beautiful and well-equipped venue that aligns with the spirit of Black History Month. They emphasized the importance of supporting HBCUs and giving students opportunities to attend them. Additionally, my guests mention that a portion of the proceeds from the event will go towards scholarships at the university, underscoring their commitment to supporting diversity in education.

I highly recommend listening to the episode to hear more about Ron & Richard's inspiring story.

On the latest episode of Real Chicks Rock! Presents Real Discussions, I had the pleasure of interviewing Barbara Tucker. 

Throughout our conversation, Barbara placed great emphasis on the significance of upholding professionalism, showing humility, and expressing gratitude. 

Barbara's remarkable body of work includes collaborations with notable figures such as Louie Vega. However, what truly stood out to me was her unwavering dedication to empowering women and cultivating a supportive environment. Above all, her steadfast devotion to a higher power serves as her guiding light in life.

Special Thanks to my guest Barbara.

On the last episode of Real Chicks Rock! Presents Real Discussions: I had a wonderful conversation with Sha’ria Thomas. 

Sharia has been a lifestyle consultant, mental health therapist, and certified life coach for ten years. She is passionate about her work and wants to help people, and it shows. 

In our discussion, we talked about indicators, triggers, self-care, and what support looks like. There’s nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. The help that one needs is available. Finding the right counselor or therapist may take a minute, but don’t give up.

Special Thanks to my guest Shar'ia.

It’s always an honor and pleasure to converse with legendary people. On this episode, my guest was DJ Rasta Root. 

Indeed, DJ Rasta Root has made it, and he credits the love and support of his parents, his college roommates, and some really dope friends.

He has experienced some FIRSTS since he was born (Thanks Mom). Finally, a guy who thirsts for learning and achieving his goals has put him in the right places. Hip Hop got his attention, started to quench his thirst, and taught him some things at the same time.

Learning to master mixing and blends, as well as paying attention to the crowd, got him in some circles that, to this day, DJ Rasta Root is humbled by how it all came together. However, his meeting Phife from the legendary Hip Hip Group, A Tribe Called Quest, is the one that resonates with him the most. Not only did Roots become his DJ and producer, but, more importantly, his friend.

Sharing stories about their culture and love for music allowed these guys to connect for 18 years. As we reflect on losing another great Dave Jolicoeur, aka Trugoy The Dove, aka Plug Two, from De La Soul, it continues to humble DJ Rasta Root as he was alongside those that have made contributions to moving the Hip Hop culture.

Thanks to my guest DJ Rasta Root. One of the good ones…FOR REAL!

A special thanks for curating Face Off Fridays here in Atlanta. It feels like home to us Hip Hop heads.

Until next time, take care, be well, and continue to… #ROCKon

I had the sheer delight of talking with Shannon McCollum on Real Chicks Rock!™ Presents Real Discussions.

Shannon is a self-taught photographer who has mastered his craft as a professional tour photographer with over 30 years of experience. 

His ability to bring to life the images he’s captured of some legendary personalities is nothing short of phenomenal. His portfolio includes President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. Coretta Scott King, DL Hughley, and Erykah Badu, to name a few. But, he had a fantastic example from his father, a retired photojournalist who gave him his first camera, lenses, and film.

On this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Demetrius Williams and David Slocomb.

They are great guys who have a passion for photography. But, interestingly enough, they had no intention of becoming a professional photographer; that just happened. Check out the full episode, as it's sure to be informative.

I had a wonderful conversation on this episode with Julius Spates, The Mad Thinker.

Julius grew up with music and wanted to share it with everyone. So, at a young age, he had an idea to throw a party and get 500 people to attend. The party exceeded expectations, with over 600 people in attendance.

With his love of music and his sister's love of travel, they created Mi Casa Holiday based on House Music. Mi Casa Holiday combines a unique travel experience to extraordinary locations with exceptional accommodations steeped in rich history and culture, music from a host of international DJs, and events. 2023 is their 15th Anniversary in Playa Del Carmen - Tulum, Mexico (tickets are on sale now). 

Julius is more than just a DJ; he is a businessman, curator of travel experiences, and producer.

On this episode, I had the pleasure of talking with special return guest Adrienne Allende as she discussed living with Lupus.

Adrienne Allendene, the owner of Aces Custom Clothing, was diagnosed with Lupus at 31 after going to the E.R. It turned into a seven-week stay during which she suffered from kidney failure and lung problems. She also needed chemotherapy, had a blood transfusion, and had heart and liver problems.

After being told she had five years to live because of complications in 2006, 14 years later, not only did she survive, she is thriving!

Adrienne continues to be a staunch advocate for those dealing with Lupus. Her voice and the voice of others are so important.

In this week’s episode, I spoke with Dres Tha Beatnik about a fitting topic: Follow The Hat.  We followed his journey from growing up in Philly to going to Clark Atlanta, living in New York, dancing on Def Comedy Jam, and moving back to Atlanta.

With Dres’ love for the culture, he could offer the community shows and events that weren’t happening then.  He saw a lane and decided to ride it.

Special thanks to my guest for taking the time to talk with me.

In this week’s episode, I had a lively conversation with Michelle and Sean Clark of Double Dutch Aerobics and Bernadette Henry of Make It Fun NYC.

Teaching people how to have fun and not be bored while jumping is what they love to do.  Great instructions, encouragement, and a family vibe are what you get when you let Michelle, Sean, and Bernadette show you the ropes.

In this episode of Real Chicks Rock Presents Real Discussions, Mr. Biggs, Hip-Hop pioneer of The Soul Sonic Force, Bronx native, takes us back to where and how Hip Hop started and the energy on the block. 

Our discussion touched on how it started, who started it, the tours, the people (both shady and legit), and hip hop today. It was so nice to talk with someone from the same block and see how they became successful.

Special thanks to my guest Mr. Biggs for taking the time to talk with me.
