What We Know Now, featuring author, educator, and inspirational speaker Lynnie Vessels

What We Know Now, featuring author, educator, and inspirational speaker Lynnie Vessels

This evening, our show theme is curated from our HUMAN LIBRARY catalog titled What I Know Now. You often hear me say everyone has a story. And you know, I also believe that everyone is a story. Each of our stories reflects a journey, not a destination, a process, not an event. We are continually moving, continually growing, continually becoming. As long as we breathe, the end of our story has not yet been written. That means we have opportunities to edit the plot of our story to reflect our physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional evolution. Author Maya Angelou   says,…

Thank you for your service featuring Brig-Gen, USAF, Ret. Sandra Gregory

Do you go the extra mile? Do you do more than what is expected? Do you expect the best? These questions pertain not only to your relationship with the world but also to how you treat yourself. Do you go the extra mile when it comes to you, or do you think that the least is enough for you? Going the extra mile means taking what you have and looking for ways to expand it— you believe in your ability to make it happen. Going the extra mile means doing just a little more than is expected, being just a…

Thank You for Your Service Then and Now Featuring McLean and Tysons Rotary Clubs Flags For Heroes Team

Thank You for Your Service Then and Now Featuring McLean and Tysons Rotary Clubs Flags For Heroes Team

Today, we find ourselves in the midst of an ongoing season of uncertainty, unrest, unnatural disasters, and unnecessary violence and death. We have all been touched by a fresh sense of fragility in ourselves and in our social systems. In order to survive and hopefully thrive, we must recognize that in spite of all this, we are dynamic. We are a journey, not a destination, a process, not an event. We have options in how we respond to how life presents itself to us. And sometimes, we just have to go the extra mile. Going the extra mile means taking…

A Voice From the Future Featuring Ms. Amira Holland Speaking on L.O.V.E.

A Voice From the Future Featuring Ms. Amira Holland Speaking on L.O.V.E.

I intentionally created Frankly Speaking with Tyra G with an intergenerational, multicultural audience in mind. Thematic content helps keep our stories fresh and relevant. This evening, our story is curated from our HUMAN LIBRARY theme: Voices From the Future. Hearing the next generations’ hopes, dreams, and concerns is always delightful. It serves as a kind of report card on how we are doing. Legacy is an interconnection across time, with a need for those who have come before us and a responsibility to those who come after us. We need to understand that the world isn’t connected by molecules. Stories,…

“Time is the fire in which we burn” –Gene Rodenberry. Join our conversation with Hollywood screenwriter Christopher Derrick about the impact of AI, mediocrity, and exposure in storytelling.

"Time is the fire in which we burn" --Gene Rodenberry. Join our conversation with Hollywood screenwriter Christopher Derrick about the impact of AI, mediocrity, and exposure in storytelling.

“If man is to survive, he will have learned to take delight in the essential differences between men and between cultures. He will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life’s exciting variety, not something to fear.” “A man either lives life as it happens to him, meets it head-on and licks it, or turns his back on it and starts to wither away.” “Star Trek was an attempt to say that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate but take a special delight in ideas…

Were it not for those who care featuring developmental psychologist Suzanne Le Menestrel.

Were it not for those who care featuring developmental psychologist Suzanne Le Menestrel.

My thoughts are agitated when I look at our nation today, the one for which we are leaving a legacy. What will it look like? I think of the young girl in middle school who wants so much to escape the personal assaults she finds on social media. I think of the young man addicted to violent video games. I think of parents who see their child as lazy and distant; not understanding those behaviors could be a sign of depression. I think of the teacher who has so many children in her classroom that she cannot adequately address their…

Legacy is for the Living featuring Mr. Bruce Wesley Owner of Chicago's Wesley's Shoes

Susan V. Bosak of the Legacy Project suggests, “Legacy is about life and living. It’s about learning from the past, living in the present, and building for the future. It is an interconnection across time, with a need for those who have come before us and a responsibility to those who come after us. A legacy may take many forms – children, grandchildren, a business, an ideal, a book, a community, a home, or some of ourselves. How many of us live so that our legacy reflects all we genuinely hold, most near and dear? How many of us are…

Living in a space called dreams have hope with Chelsea Townsend

Living in a space called dreams have hope with Chelsea Townsend

If by chance no one has told you that they love you today. I would be honored to be the first to say, I love you today! I love you because you are and have been so willing to grow. And my how you have grown! You have grown from struggling to searching. From “trying to”  to “learning how to” . You’ve grown from fear to having faith, to demonstrating your courage. You have grown in many ways, consistently demonstrating your willingness and courage to take the next step —the step toward knowing more about yourself. That is exactly why…

Legacy is about life and living, featuring poet, author, artist, and creator of The Urban Legend Series, Paris White

Legacy is about life and living. It’s about learning from the past, living in the present, and building for the future. A legacy may take many forms – children, grandchildren, a business, an idea, a book, a community, a home, some piece of ourselves. Our legacy naturally intrigues us. It’s perfectly understandable that we would want to know how the world will remember us after we’re gone. How many of us will be surprised? How many of us are living our lives so that our legacy reflects all that we truly hold most near and dear? How many of us…

Chocolate After Midnight: Own Your Magic featuring Deb Beroset

Chocolate After Midnight: Own Your Magic featuring Deb Beroset

Chocolate is an excellent metaphor for life. It’s rich, full of energy, and joyful to the senses. It also represents some of the struggles in life: guilt, complexity, and unrelenting desire for more. Midnight is the transition from one day to the next, a point in time. Today, Frankly Speaking with Tyra G invites all listeners to Chocolate after Midnight. Each time we share Chocolate after Midnight, we walk out of judgment and into a space of acceptance. We walk out of fear and into a place where “impossible” is merely a word to describe the degree of difficulty. Here…
