Do you remember what song made you fall in love with House Music?  On today's episode, I had the opportunity to speak with Ramon Rawsoul, the visionary of Rawsoul Entertainment and House In The Park Atlanta, along with Kai Alce.  Congratulations again to the HITP family on their 17 years of existence! "House in the Park is an annual music festival bringing together innovative musicians, DJs, and a diverse audience in a beautiful outdoor park space since 2005. HITP is held EVERY Sunday before Labor Day".  When I tell you, this festival blesses my soul, and I hope it blesses the souls of so many more.  It was such a lovely day; the sky was blue, not a cloud in the sky, with an abundance of people that came to fellowship and dance.  Are you subscribed to the podcast?  If not, Subscribe so you'll never miss an episode.  Play now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Libsyn, or your preferred podcast directory.   Don't forget to rate, comment, subscribe, share and download your favorites... #ROCKon.   . . .   #ApplePodcasts #Atlanta #BlkCreatives #BlackExcellence #BlackWomen #EmpoweringWomen #EmpoweringMen #HouseMusic #HITP #HouseInThePark #TheATLWeekender #GlamSoulStar  #RCR  #RealChicksRock #RealDiscussions #Lifestylepodcast #NewPodcastEpisode #NonProfitOrganization #Media #Pandora #Podcast #Podcaster #PodcastersofInstagram #Podcastlife #ShePodcasts  #SupportBrownPodcasts #Spotify #WomenEntrepreneurs

Women & The Universal Hip Hop Museum

On this episode of Real Chicks Rock! Presents Real Discussions,  I had the opportunity to chat with wonderful guests Tasha LaRae & Tee ‘Diviniti’ Smith. When I tell you we laughed, learned and lived...  These ladies can sing indeed, and I was so glad they could help me celebrate my 5th year (season) of doing the show. ? They shared how and when they started to sing. For Diviniti, singing found her, and for Tasha, she always knew.  They both had the courage to grow and do the work. Not only professionally but personally. Despite how they felt, they remained humble throughout the process. Thanks to my guest and Status Network / Lyve TV  for the production time and space.

My guest Larry L. Scott-Walker is a man filled with life, love, purpose, and passion. He was kind enough to share his story and how it led him to help others. Once diagnosed with HIV, Larry and 3 of his friends decided to start an organization called THRIVE. It’s where gay men that have HIV can have a safe space to talk, learn more about proper health care, and live life thriving and not surviving. Larry shared so much information that you’d want to listen to this episode and share it with family and friends. The discussion dealt with the typical misnomers associated with HIV - How it’s contracted, the people who get it, and how to move forward with your life.
