Kevin P. Henry interviewed Professor Estilla Lightfoot from Tulane University in New Orleans. Professor Lightfoot went into great depth to explain the topic and how it affects People of Color in ways that are similar to PTSD. The professor also talked about how BIPOC parents can educate their children, address their own racialized issues as adults, and how white parents can pro-actively discuss race and social justice issues with their children rather than shield them from reality.#diversity #racialtrauma #intergenerational trauma

Two years ago, Seattle-based actress Ronee Collins packed up her belongings and drove to Los Angeles to expand and grow her career. Made sense.  After all, LA is where the big opportunities are for an ardent thespian like Ronee. But instead of finding new, exciting opportunities, Ronee came face to face with the Covid Pandemic which a few months later pretty much shut down the stage, film, and TV industry.  Today, the intrepid actress is determined to stay in LA and meet whatever challenges lie ahead. She talked to me about the acting process, auditioning, and having the right temperament to succeed in Hollywood. Oh yeah, and she also warned us about scams and those fast-talking, unscrupulous types you hear about. #acting #drama #theatre

Well, Ron Sarchian, of course!Ron Sarchian is a certified personal trainer and a group fitness instructor with a background in football, boxing, kickboxing, road cycling and mountain biking.

Breaking Guinness World Records is Ron’s way of honoring his parents. His father, Archie Sarchian, was stricken by testicular cancer as a young man and died at the age of 33.

Ron broke his very first Guinness World Record the “Punchbag Marathon” and punched a 100 lb. heavybag for 36 hrs. & 3 min. from June 15th-17th, 2004, and dedicated it to his dad.

On September 5th, 2017, Ron was invited to appear on The “Today Show” where he proceeded to break the “Most Watermelons Smashed with a Karate Chop in One Minute” Live at Rockefeller Center in front of over 5 million tv viewers and dedicated this one to his mother, Mary Jane Sarchian. Mary Jane is the one who taught Ron that he could do anything that he put his mind to and he has.

Ron has held 26 Guinness World Records and plans on continuing to break more World Records, as long as he is physically capable of doing so.#ronsarchian #Guinness World Records #personaltraining #stuntwork
