After reading the book ACRES OF DIAMONDS by Russell Conwell, I am convinced we are all leaving the diamond mines in our own backyards as we travel around the world looking for larger diamonds, when in fact the diamonds we seek are found within us and our hometown, from whence we came. Therefore, we are calling the podcast, #IAMRIVIERABEACH.   As a native resident representing District 3 in Riviera Beach and current grant writer, Councilwoman Shirley Lanier is dedicated to community development, economic self-sufficiency, and job creation in the city of Riviera Beach. She brings to the Council her 30+ years of experience in strategic planning and implementation, housing advocacy, youth service programs and community sustainability. Using her extensive experience in community service, Councilwoman Lanier has successfully implemented a broad range of projects to include jobs for returning citizens, protection of the city’s wetlands, and crime prevention programs to improve public safety. Her ultimate goal is to partner with community stakeholders and residents who have not historically been included in the conversation to identify sustainable solutions for Riviera Beach. She believes citizens must be actively engaged in the political process because they are directly impacted by the decisions made by the Council. Ms. Lanier envisions the residents and the City Council working together to move all of Riviera Beach towards Economic Development and Social Sustainability.

Most of his best memories occurred while living in this city. He realized the potential early on and knew He wanted to open a business one day. He didn’t know what he wanted to do, but he knew that he wanted to be here.   He worked for AT&T for nearly 20 years, and during that time, He had an opportunity to travel and visit many cities across the country.  One in particular that fascinated him was Tulsa, Oklahoma. He heard about the 1921 riots that decimated a thriving black community but was hopeful after seeing what that community had done to turn things around. He visited a plaza where it was predominantly black-owned. The parking lot was packed, and the businesses were booming. He thought- “why not in Riviera Beach?”.  The demographics were very similar, but we lacked business opportunities. He plans to meet with local black-owned businesses to start the Build Back Black Wall Street Initiative. After retiring in December 2021, He decided to be his own boss. He was done with the corporate world, saying it wasn’t for him. The same energy He put into making AT&T money, he felt that he could do the same for himself.

Therefore, we are calling the podcast, #IAMRIVIERABEACH.   Today's Guest: Ms. Terrion Nelson Over the last 33 years, Terrion has been afforded many opportunities and experiences as a music teacher and performing artist. However, the 24 years of teaching music at Egret Lake Elementary School was both rewarding and is a vital part of her growth as an educator. Mrs. Nelson served on various committees including serving as team leader of the Fine Arts Department, with whom she collaborated to write grants and create several school-wide inter-disciplinary units of study to enhance the fine arts program. At the request of the principal, Mrs. Nelson and the art teacher wrote and received as one of three schools, an Arts Integration Pilot Grant and she was instrumental in continuing the arts integration program beyond the three years through strategic planning, fundraising and programming. As a teaching artist, Mrs. Nelson has also presented workshops on the local, state and national levels. Mrs. Nelson is a well-known Gospel recording artist and songwriter. She is often sought after to perform for many events and special occasions all over South Florida and beyond. In addition, she became the first African American Conductor for Young Singers of Palm Beach and was nominated for the 2018 William T. Dwyer Award.  Connect with Mrs. Nelson: 561-385-0487 Call into the podcast dial 661-554-9219.
