With more than 19k social media followers, Music Artist, Actress, Model, & Mental Wellness Advocate McKenna Camille had quite a journey as an artist and is dedicated to rising above the haters by empowering others. McKenna has a strong passion for becoming a music artist and writing, journaling, and music led her to become an advocate for mental wellness. The challenges she faced helped her incredibly. She was severely bullied for most of her school experience and, coupled with dealing with mental illness, was really hard. One of her previous singles, "Bad One" is actually about the bullying that she dealt with for years.
She overcame her challenges by focusing on work, school, bettering herself, and reaching her goals, instead of focusing on what other people were saying to her.

Word With Ty Brownlow Ep.#66 Jenelle Simpson
Commitment To A Deceitful Liar” is a look inside the life of the author, raised in a West Indian home with all its beliefs and myths. How to unlearn instilled toxic generational cycles and relearn how to move to new levels in our lives. Simpson kept all the images and experiences of her growing up, close. Her armor. The first-time author struggled with telling all for this book, but truth is the story and Simpson reveals all of hers. Sexual abuse, rape, experiences surrounded by drugs and strippers and, various struggles within the black community, and her struggle to escape repeated generational cycles passed down. Simpson readily admits, her truth is not always pretty. Her old self would have worried what people thought, but her new self believes that only the raw truth speaks to people. The truths, you find through the growing and healing process, remembering, no one takes the same route to get to the same place.
Simpson uses some Jamaican Patios dialect to bring the Jamaican culture and its effect alive for her readers. The author masterfully intertwines the different cultures as a background for “Commitment To A Deceitful Liar.” The title first came from the shock and pain Simpson felt from a deeply personnel experience. In the moment, she was numb, but it was not a place the strong-willed Simpson was going to linger. The title, today, serves as much more than one life incident, but an inclusive umbrella of sorts. Lies come from many different sources throughout our lives. They can be dangerous. Once we begin unraveling those lies, for answers, we don’t always like what we find. But, through truth, we learn to forgive and create our own walk-through life, not in the eyes of others… but our own.

Henry's word play pulls you into his message and talks about the reality of getting caught up in a whirlwind in the streets.

Wearing pink in the month of October is a nice representation of and acknowledgement of breast cancer, but if you ask the patients who battle the disease year-round, they’d beg to differ and that’s why Jacobs has made it his life's mission to create an organization and safe space for women and their families ALL year and not just during the month of October. “All of the hard work and dedication in my community over the past six years through Not Just October has led us to this momentous point. Words cannot simply express the excitement flowing through my body as we embark on the journey that is the Kim Jacobs Breast Cancer Resource Center! I can feel the presence of my mom in the walls and I know that she is here with me and smiling down from heaven. My mom was the catalyst, passion has been the fuel, and the strength of all of the women currently battling breast cancer has been the driving force of our mission at Not Just October. I’m looking forward to making a huge difference now and forever!” says Lavar Jacobs, Founder of Not Just October.

Coble's Landing is the only Black-owned private nature preserve in the South East and second on the entire East coast.
The 25 acres of land are owned by husband and wife, Rex and Shawanda Coble in Polkton, NC, the hometown of Rex and his maternal family. The Coble's who have two children have always participated in outdoor leisure such as camping, 4-weelers, and hiking; but during COVID they increased their enjoyment of the outdoors for family morale.
As they spent more time outdoors, they noticed the disparities among treatment and the basic feeling of being welcome in the outdoor leisure space when it came to people of color. Rex accounts for times when he and his family were asked to leave certain parks or offered less than adequate camping spaces.
After hearing similar stories from other families, the Coble's decided to create a safe space for POC who wanted to enjoy the outdoors for leisure, holistic practices, ceremonies, etc.
The land currently boasts a fully mapped out ATV trail, a catch-and-release fishing pond, cleared camping spots, and hiking trails. The Coble's are expanding on the area to include fully equipped cabins, a guest center available for rental, a sustainable community garden, and a ceremony/performance area.

QUOTE ON MENTAL HEALTH:
"We can (and should) beat mental health to the punch. We can gamify mental health in a way to strengthen and improve it as early as possible to understand emotional intelligence. Mental healthcare needs to be reinvented to focus on prevention vs treatment. It must be maintained before it becomes a desperate necessity and negative experience. We can circumvent this process and make mental health treatment and maintenance inviting and fun.
It’s so important to simply perform the tasks that can improve our mental. I look forward to reducing the alienation and stigma surrounding mental health via forms of gamification

Word With Ty Brownlow Ep.#49 Kimberly Gowdy (Author/The Colorless Womb)
In The Colorless Womb author Kimberly Gowdy tackles the topic of surrogacy and infertility head-on. The book encapsulates Gowdy’s early struggles to conceive and carry a child to term amidst misfortunes—seven failed pregnancy attempts, three surrogacy attempts, and being trapped in an abusive marriage with her former spouse who valued his drug addiction more than his wife. Her journey in search of alternative ways to have a family is confronted with racial and societal pressures of parenthood but after seven failed surrogacy attempts with only two embryos left, the biggest surprise comes in an unexpected package.
Gowdy’s openness to share her truth is refreshing and brings the reader along for an emotional ride sprinkled with humor, pain, encouragement, faith, and transparency. She proves that help in any form can come in unseen ways and people. “Since this is a true story, it was just a matter of telling my truth. The Colorless Womb shows that even with the racial tensions in our country, love is above racism. The person on the inside matters more than what is on the outside,” says Gowdy.

Word With Ty Brownlow Ep.#48 George Johnson
Most kids growing up in Northside Richmond knew there were only three ways to “make it out” – balling, rapping, or selling drugs. George Johnson went another way. With unwavering dedication, a little business savvy, and a lot of hard work, he found himself at the helm of several businesses and multiple six-figure income streams by his early twenties. He became a lighthouse for family and friends, providing both an example and a means for many to rise above the challenges of the inner city.
But along with the lofty highs have come many crushing lows—backstabbing family members, future-crippling injuries, being indicted by the U.S. government … and even those weren’t the worst.
Now, with his new memoir "Double Crossed", George is breaking down mental health stigmas in his community and shedding light on the importance of rejecting norms of violence and turmoil in order to prioritize yourself and your mental wellness

Coming from a musical family, she launched her singing career at her grandfather’s church where she lent her gift until relocating to her current home church where she serves as Worship Leader alongside her husband Tobias Miles, the Minister of Music.
One of the most sought-after vocalists in contemporary gospel, her sultry, soulful, and extraordinary vocal prowess has mesmerized musicians and artists alike.
Her gift has opened many doors and was recently used to soothe the souls of many onlookers and family members attending DMX’s funeral service where she sang the Clark Sister’s “You Brought the Sunshine” with Kanye West’s Sunday Service.

JI’s life experiences, both personal and professional will guide you on how to stay on your path, never someone else’s and how important it is to keep destructive people and thoughts that come your way… from getting in the way. Ignore the negative. Learning to deal with and embrace these experiences, constructively, is a part of who we are and who we become.
