Look Beyond The Clouds W/ Michelle Gano

 Today's Guest: Chazeray Jackson As a teen, my High School Football Coach made a positive impact on me! Through my influences and other mentors progressing into my adulthood, I learned the importance of character, leadership, and teamwork through sports and life experiences... Now, I get to take that same message of hope to students, parents, and educators around the country on platforms such as: Non-Profit Organizations, College level, Middle/High school level, Athletic Sport Teams and Churches!   I was born in Rutherfordton, North Carolina, on May 28, 1987. I grew up in a low-income area, where everyday living had its ups and downs. Throughout my grade school years, I experienced a lot of altercations from incidents such as: being bullied and picked on by other kids, as well as other red flag behaviors at school.  ​ Those childhood experiences affected me progressing into adult years…causing a lot of low confidence, self-esteem problems, developing false identities, substance abuse & being incarcerated due to poor behavior and decision making... Which all contributed to unresolved tragic events and lack of self-love. But, despite all the trials, I always had a strong inner voice that reminded me that I am worthy of greatness!    I can proudly say I love myself, I am confident and I am fulfilled in every department of my life. The difficulties I have overcome, has made me the Godly man I am today!   Join the “Acknowledge Someone” Movement!

Sweet Tea W/ Nick Rhodes

 Today's Guest: Lanie Matula My name is Lanie Matula and I was born and raised in Austin, Texas!  I have been teaching 4th grade for five years and love every minute of it!  My students are my world! They are loving, caring, compassionate, inquisitive, and sometimes hyper! As a class, we build a community so we can rely on one another at any point and time. We build trust with restorative circles and hold each other accountable for our actions! When the day ends, we all know we care for each other and will be there for one another no matter what.    I work with a very diverse population, where most students come from low-income families.  The schools I’ve worked at are considered to be Title 1 schools, meaning that they receive federally funded support. For some of my students, school is the only place they will receive a meal and have as a safe space with someone to trust. Throughout the year I personally purchase my students supplies, backpacks, coats, clothes, books and snacks.  Teaching comes with its own struggles – but being a lesbian teacher tends to have more.  I am out to my students and their parents, and it has had its hardships and challenges, but this year showed me that what I am doing IS right. For me and for those students that might need reassurance that it’s okay to be ‘different,’ that those feelings you have are normal, and that you don’t have to hide if you don’t want to. Here’s why: I had a student tell me that they were scared of life and who they were until they found out I was a lesbian. She smiled at me and said, ‘Thank you. Thank you so much for being you. You made me realize that I wasn’t weird. That something wasn’t wrong with me. You saved me and I can’t thank you enough for that.’  If I can save one child’s life, that’s enough for me. This next year I would like to start a leadership and support program for anyone that would like to join! I want to make sure that the students of my school have a safe place to go to. All children need to learn about acceptance, empathy, kindness, communication and love.    Join the “Acknowledge Someone” Movement!

Wild Bunch Boys W/ Gary Vaden

 FRED KOEPP   Fred is a Speaker, High School Soccer Coach, and Student Success Agent who believes in the power of acknowledgement.   In seventh grade, he was bullied to the point of taking his own life, but joined an amazing student council where he heard a speaker who helped spark a change in his attitude toward the people bullying him. Instead of trying to fight back, Fred said, "If you need anything, let me know." The bullying ended soon after.   Since seventh grade, he has focused on increasing community within the schools he was attending. He led his student council in ninth grade and was class president his senior year of high school. He started doing activities for students every Monday in high school such as "Trivia-Monday", "Life-Saver Monday", and "Selfie-Monday" to help build fellowship between his peers. In college, he was a Resident Assistant that focused on building community through events and connecting in the lunch room. He created a table where he would invite people sitting by themselves or in small groups to come join him. The group caught on and eventually grew to have over 50 members. He called it the Table of Love. Fred is thankful that he was taught the power of acknowledgement and would now like to return the favor and help others find their own Table of Love.    Join the “Acknowledge Someone” Movement!
