    9/11: Michael Jackson’s Compassion After the Chaos - with Chantal Obrist

    Chantal Obrist has been a devoted Michael Jackson fan since 1987. In this episode of The Humanitarian – The Real Michael Jackson podcast, she shares her firsthand experience of traveling from Switzerland to New York in September 2001 to attend Michael Jackson’s historic 30th Anniversary Concert. What followed was unimaginable. After the terrorist attacks of September 11th, New York—and the world—came to a standstill. Fans from across the globe were stranded, unable to return home. Chantal recounts how Michael Jackson chose to remain in New York and personally instructed his team to ensure that every fan was cared for and safely returned home. During this time, Michael covered food, accommodation, and transportation for stranded fans, offering comfort and support when it was needed most. This episode focuses purely on the verified events and Chantal’s experience of Michael’s compassion in the days following 9/11. An extended version of Chantal’s conversation, including additional personal encounters with Michael Jackson, will be available on YouTube. For now, this is Episode 15 of The Humanitarian – The Real Michael Jackson podcast—a powerful reminder of humanity in one of history’s darkest moments; 9/11: Michael Jackson’s Compassion After the Chaos You can connect with Chantal on Facebook HERE HumanitarianMJ Twitter HumanitarianMJ Insta HumanitarianMJ Facebook HumanitarianMJ YouTube HumanitarianMJ TikTok Paul Dwyer Insta Paul Dwyer Twitter Support the show Support the show

    Kindness Matters - with Mallory Cyr

    Mallory Cyr is a young lady who works with Children & Youth with Special Healthcare Needs. She has done a lot of work for Disability Justice & Health Equity, but Mallory also has an interesting story from the early 90’s that Michael Jackson fans might be interested to hear. The story features briefly in my book “Humanitarian – The Real Michael Jackson.” In 1993, Michael Jackson sent a letter and a donation to an 8-year-old Mallory Cyr, who suffered from microvillus inclusion disease, which limited her ability to eat. She received intravenous feedings. Michael responded to a letter-writing campaign organized by school children for Mallory. In his letter, he wrote "I am sending you all my loving and caring, Mallory, along with the enclosed gift, which I hope will help nourish you and keep you strong." The donation amount was undisclosed.  Mallory so graciously agreed to tell us about her story, so after a lengthy break from the podcast, I hope you enjoy this new episode… You can connect with Mallory HERE Get the book "Humanitarian - The Real Michael Jackson" HERE Watch the documentary HERE HumanitarianMJ Twitter HumanitarianMJ Insta HumanitarianMJ Facebook HumanitarianMJ YouTube HumanitarianMJ TikTok Paul Dwyer Insta Paul Dwyer Twitter Support the show

    UNCF and the Michael Jackson Scholarship – with Kenya Gray

    Welcome to the final episode of season one of my podcast, "Humanitarian - The Real Michael Jackson."  I'd love to bring you another season and I still have a lot of people I want to speak with to tell their stories of how Michael Jackson helped them in their time of need or contributed to their recovery from illnesses or people that were just first-hand witness to his many humanitarian acts. But to bring you these stories, I really need you to subscribe to the podcast, subscribe on Apple podcasts, on Spotify to my YouTube channel and share the stories. There's so many great stories of Michael Jackson's humanitarian endeavors out there, and they're not something that the mainstream media like to talk about. So please share the stories and support the show and hopefully I'll see you in season two of the #HumanitarianMJ podcast.  Now, I have two very special guests today. Michael Jackson donated many times to the United Negro College Fund and to this day is one of their highest contributors. Kenya Gray was a recipient of the UNCF Michael Jackson Scholarship in the 90’s and thanks to the fund, went on to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Communication with highest honors and in a full circle moment, she's gone on to become the Director of Scholarships for the UNCF and now manages two of the three scholarships that she received, the Michael Jackson Scholarship and also the Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation Scholarship. So Kenya joins me today alongside UNCF's communication manager Roy Betts.
