    "Be Amazing" - Overcoming the Past with Elijah Douglas on the Giving Ghosts Project

    The Giving Ghosts project is a collaborative, charitable effort, a dream team of creative people, passionate about making a difference in their communities. We assemble our talents at least annually to raise money and/or awareness for charitable causes. Last year we put on a virtual music festival in benefit of anti-trafficking organization Operation Underground Railroad. This year we have created a full-length album in support of the same cause, released around Thanksgiving. We invite all listeners to take the "signs of trafficking" training offered by Operation Underground Railroad and donate on the fundraising page to help fund a rescue operation. I have interviewed several of the contributing artists as part of this project. Elijah Douglas, AKA I.A.B, is an incredible rapper and lyricist that I have collaborated with on several songs in the past, and who adds two songs to the new album. We had a great conversation about opening up and being unafraid of the things we struggle with.

  8. “Stripling Warriors”- perseverance and teamwork with SPECTRE on the Giving Ghosts music project

    “Stripling Warriors”- perseverance and teamwork with SPECTRE on the Giving Ghosts music project

    Several friends and I have been working on a collaborative album for more than a year now. In less than a month you can see it come to a finish. Along with the full-length album, we are running a fundraising page you can visit to donate directly to rescue organization Operation Underground Railroad and inviting all musicians, listeners, viewers, and all exposed to take an online training on recognizing the signs of human trafficking. I reached out to my musician friend “SPECTRE” about having him feature on the album on a last-minute song a couple months ago and I have to say, I’m super glad I did. We recently recorded a podcast together talking about the song, the training, Operation Underground Railroad, and the Giving Ghosts music project in general. Here is our conversation. We are the “Giving Ghosts.” We represent, honor, and draw strength from those who have gone before. We advocate for the invisible and voiceless.
