Summary Shonda Johnson, founder of the Rick Miller Foundation, shares her journey of creating a foundation to alleviate hunger and support those in need. Growing up in a generous household, Shonda was inspired by her father's commitment to helping others. After witnessing the need for food among college students, Shonda started the foundation to ensure that no one's quality of life is compromised by the quality of food they can afford. She balances her full-time job as a crime victim advocate with her work at the foundation, driven by her passion to make a difference. Shonda's future goals include expanding the foundation's reach and establishing a 24-hour warehouse to provide food and resources to those in need. Takeaways Generosity and compassion can be instilled from a young age, shaping a person's desire to help others. Hunger should not limit or compromise a person's quality of life. Balancing a full-time job with a passion for helping others requires dedication and support. Providing resources and support to those in need can have a profound impact on their lives.

Join me for this episode of The Colors of Sound podcast, where I interview the multi-talented Alcy Leyva, for his book: “The silent, subtle, ever-present perils of life”. This audio was taken from our Live-Streamed event that took place on Thursday, October 19, 2023, in Manhattan, New York City. Synopsis of the Book: In the silent, subtle, ever-present perils of life, we meet Imajin (his friends and family call him Maji), a sixteen-year-old African-American boy from the Bronx who, during one fateful summer, finds his world crumbling down around him. During his last class of the school year, he feels overwhelmed by the news of a young Internet celebrity taking his life in Brooklyn and another of a pregnant black woman held at gunpoint by cops. This is the same day that his favorite teacher and role model announces that he's leaving the school before Maji's senior year. Couple this with him internally dealing with the destruction of his family — his mother suffering from depression and his father slowly pulling away from his home — and Maji decides to run. Run from everything. Run from everyone. Building a small raft out of materials from his neighborhood, and with nothing but the Moby Dick book he stole from his teacher and a few printed maps, Maji sets sail down the Hudson River one night and out to the open sea hoping to find a miracle that would make his life special and worthwhile. #TakeBackMonday, #Purpose, #Service, #Community, #People, #InnerCircle, #QuoteOfTheDay, #community-service, #bronx, #smallbusiness, #newyork, #black, #positivevibes, #learning, #workshop, #intergenerational, #podcasting, #LiveBrave, #intergenerationalprogramming, #technology, #LifeLearner, #ColemanGlobal, #author, #writer, #book, #amazon
