Black Graduation is a pre-commencement graduation celebration. It was initially started on college campuses to create a more intimate, cultural, and personal graduation experience for Black graduates. Black graduation connects the Black community and allows students and families to take pride in their accomplishments, while also celebrating the strength, beauty, and resilience of their Blackness. Many colleges today have Black, Latino, Asian/Pacific Islander graduations alongside regular school graduation to celebrate and acknowledge the culture and accomplishments of students from diverse cultures.

Happy Veterans Day!
Let’s Chew The Gum is back from hiatus with an extra special deep dive into the minds of Black veterans and their attitudes and beliefs on a variety of topics. Can you say controversy?
This show is unlike any other and it was inspired by a single statement likely unheard of in Black communities specifically and communities of color as a whole. That statement is, “Young men of color should choose the military.”
Join me and my guest, military veteran and critically acclaimed Hollywood film veteran, Foster Corder, as we discuss unique and extensive experience as U.S. military veterans.
Topics include:
- A near death experience that led him to forge his birth certificate so he could join the navy where he says, “Vietnam saved my life!”
- A rationale behind the somewhat controversial statement that young men of color should, “choose the military.”
- A critique of antiquated mindsets from communities of color.
- We also address questions from the audience live on air.
- And of course a special thank you to our veterans.

This was the second such incident this spring. With so much on the line including mega-millions from his NBA career and sponsorships, why is he seemingly risking it all.

Recently, I was invited to be a guest on the Idon Active Health Show, the Health and Business Podcast, with host Khalil Smith. He invited me on to discuss my entrepreneurial ventures including OnWatch TV, the nonprofit organization SCORE and the podcast Let’s Chew The Gum and the world renowned outreach program, Instagrad2020.

On October 8, 2021 California became the first state to require ethnic studies in high school. This new law has its foundation in the civil rights movement and roots that go back even further. As more school districts prepare to implement ethnic studies courses into their curricula, others still find cause to deter its implementation or at least spur conversations of controversy. I agreed to be a call-in guest on the Project Bridge podcast to discuss some of the concerns as well cause for celebration that the passage of Assembly Bill 101 has fostered in communities across California, the United States and arguably the world. I also agreed to air the interview on Let’s Chew the Gum as the opening episode of season 5. Let’s Talk About It!

We will continue with new episodes after a two week hiatus. Until then please enjoy some of the fan favorites from the first four seasons. This episode was among the top shows and a bright spot of 2020. It remains relevant. In fact the content was so relevant and informing that this episode was adopted as a part of the curriculum for four college courses! Students at the historic Seminole State College of Florida had an opportunity to learn and grow from the experience and expertise of my esteemed guest. I know you will enjoy it.
You truly have to see with more than your eyes. It's not a task easily done. I sat down with the renowned sculptor, Brian Owens for a discussion about his works and inspirations. However, after just a few moments it became about so much more. It became apparent that there are many levels to what makes anyone the crafts-person or unique individual that they are. This conversation turned out to be about all of us, including you, the listener, Don't miss out. I, for one, have been transformed once again. Listen with a friend or alone and then share what will certainly add value to your life. "Art is not what I do, it's who I am." - Brian Owens

When you hear the phrase triumph over adversity, what person comes to mind? My guest, and new favored friend of the show, the multi-award winning Hollywood actor, Eileen Grubba, comes to mind for many. After listening to this episode, you’ll understand why.
Despite many obstacles due to her experience with a spinal cord injury, cancer and uncertainties about her future in the industry, she persevered to not only work in Hollywood among stars but to shine!
She is a phenomenal actor as evidenced by her work on shows such as Sons of Anarchy, CSI: Vegas, Criminal Minds, The Closer, and New Amsterdam. These are just a few of the over one hundred credits in which she's captivated audiences. More importantly, Eileen is an outstanding person. Her dedication to secure inclusion of people living with disabilities is admirable; her determination to uplift all is just as remarkable. She doesn’t mix her words; she shouldn’t have to.
Join Eileen and me as we share stories of human dignity, failure, determination, uncertainty, triumph and more! "Let's Talk About It!"

I was recently honored as a guest on the show, Beyond the Scars. I was invited to share personal stories of overcoming adversity and to discuss how I overcame many of them.
What occurred was personal and reflective discussions on family, love, and joy, as well as stories of persevering over loss, turmoil and tragedy. The trials and tribulations in my life have fortified a gratitude in me for peace of mind and purposeful living for the benefit of others. If my vulnerability in sharing incidents of my life with my audience inspires even one person, I am grateful for having had the opportunity. Thank you for continuing to Chew the Gum with me.

John Moyer is a professional hypnotist who has performed his stage hypnosis show around the United States for corporate, university, and public and private events. He's also performed around the world as a guest entertainer for Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. A graduate of film school, John's combined his production skills with hypnosis to create a YouTube Channel with over 200K subscribers, focused on hypnosis and meditation content, showing people how to harness the power of their minds.
We took time to discuss the process,benefits, possibilities and limitations of hypnosis. It was revealing and surprising. You might be surprised too. I have been a skeptic of hypnosis all of my life and even a bit suspicious of its uses. John helped to dispel the misconceptions I had about it, which were mostly based on Hollywood interpretations. In fact I found out that I have been unknowingly, engaged in and utilizing hypnosis in my everyday life for years. Tune in and “Let’s Talk About it!”

For this final episode in our five part series which highlights Hispanic Heritage Month 2021 we asked a tough question. Which is the correct term; Hispanic, Latino, Latina. Latinx, Chicano, Chicana, or Chicanx? There is arguably no topic more contentious. They all have an origin and a meaning which both solidifies and divides people; this is a rare oxymoronic feat of coexistence. Can such a large and diverse group of peoples be defined by one word? Who decides? My guests today are Socorro Cisneros, Luciano "Lucky" Ortiz, Gretel Rodriguez. Together they dive deep into their personal, professional, and public outlook on the topic. Join us as we navigate the historical and contemporary implications that surround this phenomena. Be sure to catch the podcast video on OnWatch TV (on Roku and FireTV).
*Note: Please excuse the sometimes choppy audio from the host. It does not deter from the very important message of this podcast. It will be addressed before the next episode.
