Description

The First African American Radio City Music Hall Rockette The First Kick. A Lasting Legacy. History In Every Step As the first Black Radio City Rockette, Jennifer made history with every high kick, beginning a fifteen-year professional dance career that spanned from the 1988 Super Bowl to the bright lights of Broadway. Today, that same discipline and grace fuel her mission as a celebrated author, entrepreneur, and health advocate. Jennifer Jones is a trailblazing professional dancer, author, actor, entrepreneur, and speaker whose career is defined by excellence and historical significance. Most notably, she made history as the first African American Radio City Rockette, breaking a long-standing color barrier in one of the world’s most iconic dance institutions. Her professional debut on the world stage at the 1988 Super Bowl in San Diego marked the beginning of a 15-year tenure (1987–2002) characterized by the precision, discipline, and resilience required of an elite performer. Beyond the Great Stage, Jennifer stands within a long, unbroken tradition of artists who transform performance into enduring legacy. From a Tony Award–winning Broadway production to the boardroom and public arena, she has carried the discipline, courage, and resilience of the stage into every space she enters. As an actor, entrepreneur, speaker, and brand partner, her work does more than tell stories—it reframes them, drawing on lived experience to illuminate leadership, representation, and endurance in ways that resonate long beyond the stage and offstage in everyday life. An accomplished author, Jennifer has chronicled her journey in her memoirs, On the Line and Becoming Spectacular, offering a powerful testament to what is possible when passion meets perseverance. Her story bridges the gap between the glamour of the spotlight and the reality of hard work, showing readers that dreams are built step by step, with courage and resilience. Today, she uses her influential platform as an inspiring advocate for health awareness, focusing on the life-saving importance of colorectal cancer prevention and early detection. Whether she is honoring her professional legacy through museum exhibits or empowering patients and their families to take charge of their health, Jennifer’s purpose is clear: to turn her experiences into a catalyst for change. Being “the first” was not the culmination of her journey, but the beginning of a larger mission—one that has allowed her to move from the iconic kickline to a trailblazing career dedicated to opening doors so that other Black dancers can proudly call themselves Radio City Rockettes. Beyond the stage, she is a steadfast colorectal cancer advocate, using her voice and her story to remind everyone that they can follow their innermost desires, overcome obstacles, and lead a life defined by purpose, possibility, and well-being.

Inconvenient Truths

Inconvenient Truths Tulsi Gabbard announced and provided documents on how Anthony Fauci lied and information about the COVID virus was covered up. We talk about the side effects from Pfizer of the "clot shot" (many of which make that title accurate.) The lies told during COVID are not the only lies citizens have been told. We cover multiple other lies that have been given by politicians and the legacy media. We also talk about other pharmaceutical information, censorship, UK Prime Ministers, and Israel's master plan. We can not forget the lies we have been told and who told them. We need to ensure that open communication can be given with no censorship, so that people can hear all sides and discern for themselves where they believe the truth to be. Look for what is true even if it is not convenient or comfortable. That is how you can protect yourself and your family! www.ODNI.gov [http://www.odni.gov/] Abolish Property Taxes in Ohio: www.AxOHTax.com [https://reformpropertytax.com/]  Get more information about abolishing all property taxes in Ohio. https://citizensforpropertytaxreform.org/ [https://citizensforpropertytaxreform.org/] Our Links: www.RealPowerFamily.com [http://www.realpowerfamily.com/] Info@RealPowerFamily.com [Info@RealPowerFamily.com] 833-Be-Do-Have (833-233-6428)

Then use your growth to positively impact others in your family, business, and community.

History Pop-Up: June | History Books with Ron Tester

Ron Tester is back for another History Pop-Up.

We also cover a short book that manages to squeeze in 500 years of art history + be funny as it does so. Which nicely balances out an enraging book about London. Ron kindly lets me vent. Such an annoying book, such a kind Ron.  Look for more History Pop-Ups - roughly every month Books discussed in this episode: Jefferson, the Art of Power - Jon Meacham In Cold Blood - Truman Capote The Hemlock Cup: Socrates, Athens and the Search for a Good Life - Bettany Hughes Venus and Aphrodite - Bettany Hughes London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City, A Family's Search for Truth - Peter Raiden Keith Empire of Pain - Peter Raiden Keith Say Nothing - Peter Raiden Keith Ron's Website: rontestercoaching.com [https://www.rontestercoaching.com/] ==== If you’d like my help with your Business go to www.lizscully.com/endlessClients [https://www.lizscully.com/endlessClients] ==== And don’t forget to get your reading list of the 10 essential reads for every successful biz owner - these are the books Liz recommends almost on the daily to her strategy + Mastermind clients.
