Episode 50: GREETINGS! Welcome to the 50th episode of 3RD Degree With James Major Burns. I sit down with Hans and Elsa of Frozen Jr. who will be played by Wayne Bonner and Natalie Kovacs respectfully. Ive watched these two grow from children to young adults who continue to inspire those around them. Both are playing characters with traits they haven't had to exude on stage before. Wayne will have the opportunity to play his first villain while Natalie will play a more complex character in Elsa. A superhuman Queen who can't control her powers which causes harm to her kingdom and sister. They both share why these experiences mean so much to them. Wayne will be the first African American in this region to play Hans. Natalie will be playing a character that made a huge impact on her life from being so relatable and not the average Disney Princess.

Episode 51: Merry Christmas Everyone. This season always brings back that childlike joy and spirit we experienced growing up. This episode is special to me because of the two subjects we'll touch on. Entrepreneurship and Incarceration. Saqoyia and I discussed her journey of becoming an owner of multiple businesses. She has a hairline (www.shopbundlelife.com) and she's the co owner of Diamond Braiders Hair Boutique. She's always helping and encouraging others to follow their dreams of becoming a business owner and will be holding a business class I 2020. On this day we found out one MAJOR thing we have in common. We both have a sibling currently serving time in prison. We shared the stages of guilt, pain, and anger that we go through from time to time. From arguments to long periods of time with no contact. Saqoyia expressed how the holiday seasons are the absolute worst. Sending love in any form that you can is always needed but a little more around this time of year can really help the days go by. Not a day goes by that we don't count down the days until we can love on our loved ones.

We were having a normal conversation when we realized it deserved more than just an exchange over the phone. So we sat down to chat about several things starting with my most recent episode " YOU GAY? YO MOMMA KNOW YOU GAY?"( User-jamesmajorburns – You-gay-yo-momma-know-you-gay ) . She gives her perspective on how she felt about my emotional response and the Facebook post that started it all. We then discussed giving up your passion for a price. As artists we do what we do for ourselves, for love, for happiness. It's our talent that we choose to share if we would like, but at what cost does our passion become a job that loses the value from where you started? Lastly we discuss the " Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez".
