Live Your Dreams, Don't Chase Them

Storyteller: Karl St. Jean

Karl created a story to relate an experience getting some very personal advice from a good friend Danny. It includes some great audio mixing around a reenactment of the phone conversation where Danny encourages him to take his music and life seriously. Although he didn't know it at the time, it would be the last time Karl would speak to Danny; and Danny's advice gained immediate importance in Karl's life plan as an rap artist, production company owner, and college student.

Storyteller: Jade Gardner

A tribute to her "father, aka Grampa," Major E. Brooks, Jade's story varies in narrative and lyrical style, dramatically interwoven between the music and lyrics by her Grampa himself and The Sophomores. This story reflects on his role in her life as a father figure, and how her family is coping his death through remembrance and prayer.
