Generation Motivation: The Podcast

(S6 : Ep 3). I had the opportunity to sit down with talented singer and songwriter Aryee' The Gem. The Saint & Citizen Music Group signee just released her latest single and new video for "To It," which is on track to be a summer anthem. Not only does her passion for her craft shine through in her upcoming EP, but so does her commitment to being a positive force in her community. Aryee' understands that as she continues to walk in purpose and shed light in the darkness, the impact is immeasurable. She states, "Mindfulness is another significant aspect of who I am. I understand that my actions affect everyone around me." Tap in!

To kick off Season 6, I had the pleasure of interviewing fellow NCA&T alumnus, Felicia Bittle. She is the owner of FABstyles, LLC, an image and style consultation business based out of Charlotte, NC. Felicia talks about how following her passion caused her to step away from a lucrative career in accounting. She also touches on the endowment she established in honor of her grandmother, giving back to the community through her various workshops, how she ended up making guest appearances on WCCB's Charlotte Rising television show, and words of wisdom for those looking to make a leap of faith.

(Part II)  Having been featured in the NY Times, ABC 7, on CNN and various media outlets, my next guest is one of the most inspirational individuals I've ever come in contact with. Shot at the age of 13 yrs old and paralyzed from the waist down, Jeff Williams has relied upon the use of a wheelchair for the past 41 years.  While he may be confined to the chair physically, he's the polar opposite mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  He's a motivational speaker, fashion designer, real estate broker and author of the inspirational autobiography "My Feet Are Off The Ground," where he details his journey of healing, faith and forgiveness.  For more info on Generation Motivation and our #powerinyourplatform movement, go to www.GenerationMotivation.com.  Connect with me on IG:  @nicewiththatpen and @generationmotivation_19.  Connect with Jeff on IG:  @shoesbyjlorenzo   #generationmotivation  #podcasterofthepeople # jaysnipes #jefferywilliams #myfeetareofftheground  #podcast #inspiration

I had the opportunity to sit down with Derek St. Hilaire of the G League's South Bay Lakers. He talks about his passion for basketball and the training he puts in daily, making the leap from the NCAA to the G League, aspirations of making it to the NBA, and advice for young ballers looking to take their game to the next level.

I sat down with award winning author Lana Reid as we analyzed her insightfully triumphant book "Basements and Blossoms: A Few Recollections of the Ugliness That Made My Life Beautiful." In the book, she discusses the healing process she went through as she suffered the traumatic loss of her husband to senseless gun violence, along with other life lessons she learned along the way. She is also the host of the "The Male Perspective" podcast, which focuses on highlighting African-American males, giving them a platform to share their stories of success, aspirations, hopes, dreams, shortcomings and other realities of life.  Check out www.lanareid.com to stay in touch with Lana.

I had the opportunity to sit down with Emile from Emile's Creations. He's a dope hip hop photographer/creative out of NY.  Not only has he been able to capture hip hop heavyweights such as Rah Digga, Cormega, Jim Jones, Dave East, Juelz Santana and more through the lens, but he's also creating his own narrative through his faith-based clothing line. He talks about how his faith has helped to keep him on solid footing, as he continues to build a lasting legacy for he and his son.
