Let's Talk Dreams Sydnee Floyd

Today, for episode 3 of season 2 we are so excited to welcome Reese! Reese is the current  Miss Hub City Volunteer. She will be competing in the Miss Tennessee Volunteer pageant in July. She created the organization called DEAFying The Odds. It is centered around service and awareness for the deaf and hard of hearing community in our state. Alongside this, she advocates for all people with disabilities and executes any service opportunities in her community! 

Meara Kane is a City Year AmeriCorps member serving as a student
success coach at Eugene Field Elementary School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In this
role, she provides academic, attendance, and social-emotional support to
students in a fourth grade classroom. The City Year program requires 1700 hours
of service throughout the school year, and Meara pursues additional service
opportunities outside of the classroom by volunteering with community
organizations such as Iron Gate, the Gathering Place, the Tulsa Garden Center,
the Tulsa SPCA, and the Oklahoma Aquarium. She enjoys seeking out new
experiences and believes that community connection is an essential part of
staying grounded and healthy while navigating challenges.

In addition to her work with City Year, Meara has also been
working on a project called Lemniscate, which she developed with a classmate
shortly after graduating high school. Lemniscate aims to elevate voices from
the neurodivergent community by creating safe spaces for neurodivergent folks
to connect and share their experiences. She recently partnered with a writer
from the Tulsa area to host Lemniscate’s first in-person meetup in March, where
they met other community members who were also interested in the project. They
are currently working on maintaining connections virtually through a blog,
newsletter, and social media channels and are planning a second in-person event
scheduled for the end of May.

Hey Everyone!



Welcome to Season 2 of Let's Talk Dreams! Today, our founder, Sydnee Floyd is here to give all the details on her recent Brazil trip! She also starts our new season of Let's Talk Dreams with her advice on how to make a change! Give it a listen!

For my social science project, I decided to explore the rise of homelessness in Nashville. I interviewed Steven Young, Daniel Craig, and Trayce Tucker to talk about their personal experiences with helping the homeless in the community. 

World Meet Robbie!  



Robbie J. Atkinson, is a Film Director, Editor, and CEO of RPX Media Production as well as the founder of the Foundation for Inter-Ethnic Restoration [aka FIER; pronounced "fire.] After obtaining her M.A. in Digital Production from Georgia State University (2018), she founded FIER in 2020 amidst the countless protests against police brutality and rampant xenophobia stemming from the COVID 19 pandemic. From there, she assembled a diverse team of volunteers and researchers from countries like Nigeria, China, Bangladesh, Turkey and Dubai to help FIER reach its community and achieve its mission. FIER's general mission is to bring ethnic communities together, address racial trauma through education about racial literacy, foster community engagement and host open/inclusive discussion.  



Join Robbie on LTD as we discuss racial inequality, being a woman in the production industry, how to make a difference, and the power of your voice.
