GLOTALKS SHOW S1E2 - ART MEETS FRIENDSHIP W/ MARYSE PANTALONE

" Consideration is the highest form of love." 

I had the pleasure of having my best friend open up the guest episodes for the Glotalks show. In this episode we covered how we met, our carriers, what we're hoping our 30's will be and what we've been able to learn about friendships as adults.

I've known Maryse since grade 9 but I've gotten closer to her in my late 20's. She became a part of my life during a time when I needed a friend in my corner who wasn't afraid to tell me the truth. I was too dependent on people and often times got lost in it. She made it a point to often remind me of who I am and to snap me out of la la land when I started to get too comfortable. 

I truly believe that the closeness of our friendship is a divine intervention. You never know who God will use to change the trajectory of your life.

From the day I met her, she's had a great personality and a lot of confidence. She stood out wherever she was. The way she spoke and carried herself made me want to become friends with her. She was very welcoming and made it a point to defend anyone when injustice was at play. It speaks volume on how she was raised. I remember one time her mother showing up to school and the atmosphere changed. You could tell that her mother was very respected at the school. Nobody played with mama Fran! 

In this episode, we also covered the unfortunate news of her father's health and how the people she relied on to check on her, dropped the ball. She said something that really stuck out to me : " no one is obligated to give you a second chance, even if you're someone who often gives more than one chance." this really hit home because it's true. No one is obligated to accept your apology. No one is obligated to let you back into their lives if they don't want to. But, in this episode, we learn that, that chapter is closed and a new one is opening. That her core circle in this new season, will be the ones holding her up and landing a helping hand when she needs it the most. 

We shared a lot of laughter in this episode. I am so thankful to have her in my life.

Dear God,

I thank you for my friend. I thank you for who she is and I am most thankful for giving me the opportunity to do life with her. You know her heart and see her for who she is. I pray that you keep her. That you protect her. That your divine intervention always changes protocol on her behalf. I thank you for her family. I thank you for her father. I pray for his health and I pray that you cover him in every stages of his sickness. May strength and favor forever be on their family. 

Amen

GLOTALKS SHOW - S1E3 - LOVE IS MUSIC W/ JEFF SANON

Image
 " Where do you draw your inspiration from? " - Gloria M. On this week's episode of the Glotalks Show , I had the pleasure of sitting down with the multifaceted artist, Jeff Sanon . I wanted to delve into his creative journey and get some insights on it. I explored the many roles he embodies in his artistic endeavors and I believe I got answers to questions we've all been curious about. Before I met Jeff, I heard many good things about him. I may be biased but his music really stood out to me. And when I had the opportunity to meet him in person and watch him in his element, I was more impressed because the little time I spent around, made me respect the many hats he wears. He is a singer, songwriter, rapper, producer and executive producer. But above all, he is a student first. His understanding of music is what blew my mind.  I got to watch him turn my words into a beautiful song. I wanted to give him his flowers while simultaneously picking his brain. I really want...

GLOTALKS SHOW - S1E4 - EXECUTIVE DECISIONS W/ GLORIA MWANGE

Image
 " You're in it now! You can't quit!!" - Claudia Etwyse I remember briefly writing about executive decisions about two years ago. It has been something that's been placed on my heart ever since. When I wrote about it, it was a moment of clarity that happened while I was in Congo.  This time, when it was time for a solo episode, I tapped into that and the experience launching the  Glotalks Show  gave me. I used to be someone who needed a second or third opinion before making a decision. I never truly trusted my own instincts and even the decisions I made. But this time, I had to force myself out of the comfort zone and believe that the choices I made, were great and even if they weren't, at least, I get to reflect on them myself rather than blame others.  In this episode, I addressed my desires of answering the famous question " WHY". To know the why, is to understand the trajectory of your life. I also spoke about the story with my videographer, it h...

GLOTALKS SHOW - S1E5 - I WAS BORN WITH IT W/ JESSIE SIMMONS

Image
 " People are full of wisdom. " - Jessie Simmons This week's episode was very special to me. I sat down with Jessie Simmons , a multi-faceted artist from Ottawa, to discuss her journey through the music business. From overcoming industry challenges to the creation of her debut album " AMONI ," Jessie shares her experiences, insights, and the inspiration behind her music. When I was writing down the names of the first 10 guests for the  Glotalks Show , Jessie was the first one on my list. I've always been fascinated by her story and seeing as she continues to break barriers, the story becomes more and more interesting. When we met, she made it a point to scope me out of the crowd and introduce me to her entourage. As years went by, we got closer but, even then, her passion for music always shined through. So when I got the opportunity to sit down with her and talk about her life and journey in the music industry, I couldn't resist going back to the beginn...
