Welcome back to BrownVintage Radio Show. We are back with a new season, and I'm ready to give you more of what you don’t hear in mainstream. This show we will talk to Eddie Connor Jr., a noted author, evangelist, motivational speaker, and TV correspondent on CBS/CW 50 who is a walking testimony. At 15, he experienced pain that most teens at that age don’t go through. He was diagnosed with cancer, but Eddie defeated all the odds. The doctor’s said the cancer was terminal BUT God said it wasn’t. Eddie realizes that he was not born with a "silver spoon" in his mouth but was raised by a strong mother, who instilled in him life long values and the importance of governing himself as a positive individual. He proclaimed from Psalm 118:17, “I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord.” Eddie affirms that he was "Destined to Overcome the Odds." A graduate of Eastern Michigan University, Eddie has earned a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education. He is a recipient of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Humanitarian Award and continually inspires young people with messages of hope, healing, and determination. Eddie Connor talks about his life and purpose in three books, ‘Purposefully Prepared to Persevere,’ ‘Collections of Reflections: Symphonies of Strength, Volumes 1-3,’ and ‘E.CON the ICON: from Pop Culture to President Barack Obama.’

On this show we will talk to one of my favorite artists in the business, Steph Jones. He's a singer, songwriter, model, actor and HUGE comedic personality. To see more of that personality, checkout his Youtube page at Youtube.com/mocityalien. Steph has a refreshing sound that's needed in such a wanderlust musical industry. Right now, we can sort of see a good shift in the industry, but how long will it last? How can we keep artists like Steph afloat? We will discuss the ways he plans to change the way people see the music industry. Visit www.stephjonesgalaxy.com [http://www.stephjonesgalaxy.com] to learn more about him.

This is an IMPORTANT show because while Black women are highlighted on such a broad scale for their work, contributions and leadership, there are positive men who are doing the same thing but not as recognized as we would like to see. This show will be a smorgasbord of different kinds of leadership in Black males from across the globe. You will tap into their worlds as to what brings them joy. You will hear from author and motivational speaker Tony A. Gaskins, Jr., who has appeared on the Oprah Show and Tyra Show; Durik "Prince" DaJour, former host of the legendary BET show "Teen Summit," and "Rap City," who is also a radio personality and a personal growth developer. In addition we will hear from Tolton Pace, who is no stranger to the show. He has worked in radio, TV and has worked alongside radio personality, CoCo Brother. He is currently working in those areas along with educating the youth. Please join me on this show as you don't want to miss this treat!
