“TRU CHAT”... A Community Podcast & "Today's Temperature"

Hey hey Everybody! Welcome back to another episode of "TRU CHAT"...A Community Podcast a MejIMusyK Production. I am your host JoY of JoYful SoundZ! Still in season 8 and back with our community partners A Journey 2 Manhood's youth program out of one of Chicago's historical parks...Lindblom Park. The youth out of this particular location site are the ones' that are definitely before their time...they speak as though they've been here before, in a childs body. It's always my pleasure to provide a platform for our youth to be their natural selves and express who they truly are and messages we all need to hear. Sometimes hearing these messages can be difficult for the older generations, but we must hear so that we know how to guide our futures in the making accordingly! Thank you to the participants, listeners, and monthly supporters. Your time and interest is very much needed and appreciated. Please continue to support and share the episodes with your inner circles. Let's grow together! Stay tuned for more episodes and what's to come in this "new word" we are all co-creating. Until then...I am your host JoY signing off and out...Peeeaaaccce!!

Hey hey everybody! Welcome back to another episode of "TRU CHAT"...A Community Podcast, a MejIMusyK Production. I am your host JoY of JoYful SoundZ, and this my friends is episode 4 of season 8! We have a new guest out of Englewood, Chicago sharing her story and how she created her brand "The Sandwich Queen." This episode hits hard on our community as we speak on the physical, mental, and spiritual abuse many of the women in our community have and are still experiencing. Yes is may initially feel like a story about victimization, though if you listen you will see how this is a story of a journey to FREEDOM!! The older generations taught us that there was no progress without struggle...well it is time to change that uncessary narrative, which it appears a lot of the youth these days (through use of the internet) have discovered it does not have to be that way...while still trying to figure it all out. I'm here to confirm that it does not! You can choose to struggle, which in some cases is placed there for you to believe that you need to, to prove yourself, to be accepted, and/or to live better lives than those before you. Remember, FREEDOM is a God given gift...more like a passage of rights to just be. If you don not believe...then so it is! Thank you to all my listeners that actually make themselves known by hitting that subcribe button to catch the new episodes as they are posted. And to all the listeners that preferred to Not be supportive and act as though they are not listening and take make words, phrases, and ideas and pass them off as if they are yours... I see you and feel you! Keep spreading the word, just remember, Karma is also watching and waiting on the right time to remind you of your actions :)! So...stay tuned for the next episode to here more words straight from the hearts of the youth of Englewood Chicago. Until nest time, I am your host JoY signing off and out...Peeeaaaccce!!!
