Uncovered Legacy Curtis Burke

An internationally acclaimed DJ hailing from Los Angeles California, Ronald Turner II aka DJ R-tistic has become the most sought-after DJ when it comes to delivering live experiences; he has hosted virtual parties for established companies such as BET.⁣

“…𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘫𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘧𝘧, 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶.” ~ 𝐃𝐉 𝐑-𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜⁣

Having started making his own beats by 5th grade and raised by prolific musician parents, you would think that breaking into the deejaying scene would have been a breeze for DJ R-tistic. On the contrary, becoming the star that we see today wasn't so smooth sailing.⁣

Tune in to find out how DJ R-tistic went from doing part-time deejaying alongside a full-time IT job and making a tiny fraction of what he earns now, to a successful full-time DJ earning 10 times more.⁣

Exactly 10 years ago in 2012, I joined a class to help me write my one-person show, Stamp of Approval. René Peña, a former guest on this podcast, was also part of this class.

Kimleigh Smith, our amazing teacher in this class also played the roles of our producer, director, marketer, counsellor and so much more. To say we were grateful would be a huge understatement.

That's why it's so exciting to finally have her on the show in this episode, where she talked about her background, and what drove her to start the class, among other things.

Apart from being a one-person show coach, Kimleigh is also an actress, best-selling author, producer, Sexual Assault Awareness Speaker, philanthropist, and founder of Embrace Your Cape.

The sounds of his grandfather's guitar under a clear sky,
the sounds of crickets at night chirping;
recalling how the dirt made circles in the air as trucks drove by while sitting on a porch,
waving to cars because no one is a stranger in New Kent county, Virginia, the legacy in this small town.

That is the foundation upon which my guest in this episode, Dr. Wilmon A. Christian, the 3rd, aka AJ, is building his legacy.

Born and raised in New Kent County, Virginia, Dr. Wilmon is he Founder and Executive Director of Resonance Organizational Consulting and Solutions, LLC. He also serves as the Director of Workplace Equity at the University of Southern California Race and Equity Center.

Our conversation touches on Dr. Wilmon's early life in the seemingly magical town of New Kent County, home of the 1st ever First Lady, Martha C. Washington.

"I come from a family of people who know how to figure it out and make it work."~ Meryl Johnson

"There is something unique, even spiritual, when you have a grandmother, daughter and grandchild under one roof."~ Curtis Burke

For most people, Mother's Day is a day of celebrating and loving on our mothers and mother figures in our lives. Not so much for Meryl Johnson, our guest in this episode. For her, it is a reminder of the two women that were so integral to her life for many years, but are now not part of it anymore. It is a painful reminder of how terribly she misses them.

Meryl has worked at Warner Brothers Entertainment Group, Country Music Association (CMA) and as Vice President of digital marketing at The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.

In this episode, Meryl shares about her grandmother and mother's unique relationship, her experience living with both of them since she was 12, and how their love and mutual respect for each other impacted Meryl's life.

The impact her mother and grandmother have imprinted on her life will never change, only guiding her as she now creates her own family legacy.

Knowing where you start in life does not determine the finish line. Raised in what he refers to as a broken two-parent home by a very hard-working mother and an alcoholic father who worked in the Jamaican police force, Dr. Ryan Wiggan's is not your typical everyday childhood story. The context itself alone sets the scene for plenty of unexpected twists. All that combined with growing up in the "Garrison" —a term used to refer to gang-ridden and volatile neighbourhoods— in Kingston, Jamaica, inevitably led to a very unstable and abusive childhood for Dr. Ryan. Thankfully, those experiences, along with witnessing a dramatically contrasting world as he visited his peers' families growing up ignited a burning desire within Dr. Ryan to break this detrimental cycle that had been handed down and unquestioned for far too long. And if you meet him today, you can clearly see that everything that he faced was building him up and preparing him to use his voice as a powerful tool; and subsequently, help others uncover their own legacy.

Founder of 𝘛𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘜𝘱 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 and 𝘈𝘓𝘚 𝘪𝘯 𝘞𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘍𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, Lara Blume McGee, was born and raised in Little Rock - Arkansas, in a progressive Jewish family. The challenges and cultural shock they experienced during their integration into the South were the driving force behind her father's dedication to helping people by fighting hate, teaching tolerance and seeking justice. These principles of tolerance and acceptance shaped Lara's worldview.⁣

So finding out about her father's ALS diagnosis in 2009 was understandably a huge blow to Lara. His death could have sent her into a total tailspin, but instead, she chose to take that pain and use it to help other families faced with ALS.⁣

Listen to Lara's story and you will walk away much more educated and equipped to help.⁣
