    Conversations with a Songbird, Pt 2 with Dr. Marcus Norris

    We never ask birds why they likes to sing, its what they were made to do. This week we have part 2 of a conversation with a real life song bird- Dr. Marcus Norris! Composer and director of the South Side Symphony orchestra takes along his journey of discovering his love for mixing R&B, Gospel, and Rap with orchestral music, the best of both worlds. Through conversations about choosing the arts you love, dreaming bigger than what you've seen, and making sure our community is seen, Dr. Marcus Norris gives us the boost we need to ignore the "safe route" and jump into our dreams.

Join me this Tuesday for a very transparent conversation about where I've been, the burnout I experienced, my newfound avoidance diagnosis, and honestly, a conversation on why its so hard to come back after being away for a while.

    Taking Control of Your Spiritual Diet

    We have all heard the phrase " you are, what you eat." It's a true testimate that what you put into your body, is what you inevitably crave, Its comfortable. That concept doesn't just apply to food. It applies to coping mechanisms, thought processes, and especially spirituality. Join me for a conversation about discipline, spiritual growth, and the impact that my physical diet has had on my spiritual diet.  RSVP our first free Live Podcast "More Than Likes: Consuming Social Media with Intention”   on May 23rd. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/welcome-to-the-classroom-live-podcast-tickets-1303377329679?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl First time joining us?

    What Does it Mean to Come to God Authentically? with Pastor Deitrick Haddon

    This week’s episode was an eye opener for me. We have conversations about interpersonal relationships a LOT, on this podcast, and I have definitely fallen victim to the idea that when someone has trouble adapting to you going to the next level, its okay to outgrow them. But Pastor Deitrick tells us straight up- that doesn’t have to be the case. Our guest, 4x Grammy Nominated singer, tv and movie producer and pastor of Hill City Church, reminds us to extend love and grace to the people around us. That life isn’t all or nothing, but about balance. Join us for this week’s episode “What Does it Mean to Come to God Authentically?,” for a conversation about politics, balance, God’s love as our father, and everything in between.  “So I commend the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany them in their toil all the days of the life God has given them under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 8:15 Connect with Pastor Deitrick  ⁨@DeitrickHaddon⁩   & Come visit Hill City Church!

Join me and child advocate and founder of the 501(c)(3) nonprofit, A Pledge to Children, Julia Davis as we talk about about her experience excelling beyond what she saw in her environment, and how she uplifts and educates young people do to the same.
