Description

What if the thing standing between someone and a fuller life was simply the ability to get up and move when they want to? To go where they want to go? In this episode of The Ripple Effect, Jenna Kim Jones sits down with Nuka Hart, CEO of Free Wheelchair Mission, to talk about the power of movement, dignity, and being seen. From rugged wheelchairs designed for dirt roads to the quiet moments that happen when someone can finally sit up and roll outside, this conversation reminds us that freedom doesn’t have to be flashy—it just has to work.

Barbershops That Save Lives? With Eric Muhammad, Marcus Byrd, and Dr. Natalie Bello

What happens when medicine stops asking people to come to it—and starts showing up instead? In this episode of The Ripple Effect, Jenna Kim Jones dives into the Los Angeles Barbershop Blood Pressure Study, an innovative program from Cedars-Sinai built on one essential ingredient: trust. Cardiologist Dr. Natalie Bello, barber Eric Muhammad, and study participant Marcus Byrd share how a familiar, trusted space became the setting for honest conversations about health, fear, and survival. Together, they unpack why Black men are disproportionately affected by untreated high blood pressure, how pharmacists embedded in barbershops changed outcomes, and what happens when care feels personal instead of clinical. This conversation isn’t just about better health results—it’s about what becomes possible when communities are respected, listened to, and empowered to lead.

What Happens When Tailgates Get Nice? Cougs Care with Michael Johanson and Kim Marsh

In this episode of The Ripple Effect, Jenna Kim Jones dives into Cougs Care—a program that turns football tailgates into service projects. Football season usually means rivalries, trash talk, and a lot of yelling. But BYU Alumni leaders Michael Johanson and Kim Marsh share how fans across the country are collecting food, coats, shoes, and books before kickoff, transforming competition into community. From a massive book drive in Texas to unexpected friendships between rival fan bases, this conversation proves that kindness travels just as well as a football team.
