The JVY Podcast

I decided to use this episode as not a reflective one, but one of thanks. Besides my family, close friends & loved ones, I wanted to thank all of you, the audience, for listening to my stories and growing with me. With that being said, I’ve included not only a few songs/beats that I’ve put out, but also introduced a new segment called “The Poetry Hour”, where I’ll share original poems & ideas throughout my years, as a gift from me to y’all.
