Living Life to the Fullest

After meeting Leanda at World Championships Powerlifting, we knew further conversations had to happen. As a woman who has been plagued with illness she has a zeal for life many may never understand. The number of times that her doctors have told her she is done and she kept going is unreal. And not just living everyday, but breaking world records in Olympic weightlifting and competing in at world powerlifting. Leanda is a force to be reckoned with and she brings joy with her wherever she goes. Follow her @cfaloha [https://www.instagram.com/cfaloha/] on Instagram.I am C. S.

Restarting, Rebirth - We're Back

After a much longer than intended break, we are back. I had lost access to this channel but now it has magically (because I don't know how) been returned to me. That said, enjoy my 12 minutes of ramblings about the past the future, and a bit of the present as we roll back into real human conversations.

Facing Death, Creating Life, and Making Art

With the subdued spirit of lo-fi hip hop and a flow reminiscent of hip-hop’s golden age, Kaesevyn - real name Ju-Marri Sims - uses a history of trauma and social ineptitude to give a voice to those who need one. A Cleveland native, Kaesevyn adopted his persona after his father passed away in 2010, and felt like now, more than ever, was his chance to finally find the voice that had eluded him in his formative years. You can follow Kaesevyn on IG @keasevyn [https://www.instagram.com/direct/t/101430694591105/]and check out his album Underground Heart here.
