    E12: Heroes Illustrated

    On this episode of Syracuse Side Hustles, we talk with London Ladd. A graduate of Syracuse University, he works as a parking attendant for the university and as ramp agent Delta Airlines, but devotes his spare time to his career as a children’s book illustrator. His books demonstrate an interest in using his artwork to tell the stories of famous and not-so-famous African Americans — such as Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King Jr., Oprah Winfrey, and Lilly Ann Granderson, an enslaved woman and literacy champion born in 1821. Ladd speaks about the role family and identity have played in his evolution as an artist and about the challenges on taking on projects for economic gain.

    E03: Five Children and a Microphone

    On this episode, we meet Monique Williams, mom and up-and-coming rapper. According to a 2017 study by Market Researchers OnePoll, if motherhood was treated like an official job, moms would clock in at almost 100 hours a week. Those numbers definitely reflect Williams’ work week. As a mother of five, she spends her days like most stay-at-home mothers — sending her sons off to school each morning, doing chores around the house, and preparing food for her family. But in the evenings and on the weekends, Williams transforms into MoeBetta ThaGoddess, a rapper performing at venues across Syracuse. A few years ago, at the suggestion of a friend, Williams began putting the poems she wrote to beats, creating songs that reflect both the joys and struggles of her life. MoeBetta ThaGoddess has since pushed 20 songs to SoundCloud, including her latest album, Pain for Profit. For more on Williams visit www.SyracuseSideHustles.com

    E02: What About the Other Children?

    On this episode of Syracuse Side Hustles, meet Dut Leek Deng, a man determined to help women and children in Sudan, his homeland. A custodian for the Syracuse University Center of Excellence during the week, Deng spends his free time working on his non-profit organization, South Sudan Initiatives (SSI). The inspiration for SSI comes from Dut’s personal experience as one of the first Lost Boys of Sudan to come to Syracuse. Dut learned the value of education in the refugee camps of his youth and pursued it further after arriving in America. Now, he wants to pay his opportunities forward. Unicef reports more than two million South Sudanese children don’t attend school, and Dut wants to change that. SSI offers educational tuition assistant and business assistance programs for widows afflicted by the Sudanese conflict. For more on Deng visit www.SyracuseSideHustles.com

    E01: Fairytale Enthusiast Inc.

    On this episode of Syracuse Side Hustles, we learn how Amber Nadeau dressed up as Princess Anna at Disney’s Halloween party, the only day the park allows adults to wear costumes, and left the Magic Kingdom with a great idea for a business. Kids thought she was an actual princess working Meet & Greets, and the attention she garnered attracted security guards, who advised her to tone it down. That experience prompted the full-time paralegal and mother of two to create As You Wish Entertainment, a talent agency that specializes in booking princesses and superhero characters for children’s parties and special occasions.
