South African Golf Development Board product Josh Daniels reflects on the role the SAGDB has played in his journey from Kuilsriver Golf Club in his younger years to now standing upon the threshold of his Freshman year at NCAA Division I College, Augusta State University.
This week on the eve of the 2024 Masters Peter dials in from the Press centre at Augusta National and we are also joined by special guest Gary Murphy, a former European Tour pro and Augusta State University student to discuss all things Masters. Is this to be Rory McIlroy's year? Does Shane Lowry have all the tools to be Ireland's first Green Jacket winner? Is the weather going to wreak havoc on day one? Could we see a debutant top the leaderboard for the first time since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979. Is Jon Rahm the most under-the-radar defending champion in years? And who do we have our money on as the 'tradition unlike any other' gets underway?

Episode 3: This week, Shannon Grissom is our fabulous guest! Kurtis talks about what he has done lately to bring his best, and Belinda shares a tasty beverage! Here is a little bit about Shannon: Shannon Grissom Artist Statement I'm woo woo. No two ways about it. I create in the 5th Dimension. Whether I paint a traditional portrait or a band of sock monkeys, my work has always contained a spiritual component. It's not enough for me to get a likeness of the subject. I won't stop until the spirit of the subject leaps off the canvas and speaks to you. No matter what life offers, the intention of all of my creative expressions, is that they focus on the good. Background I was a late bloomer. I didn't discover painting until I was 33! Once I finally realized I wanted to be a professional artist, I was hooked and driven. I'd get up early each day to paint for a few hours before the start of my day job. This demanding schedule was worth the effort. By 1999, I was able to leave my day job and began to create art as a full-time business. And thus began the amazing ride... At 44 I began production of the television series, Give Your Walls Some Soul. The inspirational how-to painting show grew from an audience of one station to over 50 stations across the country. It was seen in over 10 million households, winning numerous awards. It is still airing today. At 46, I published my children's book Monkey Made of Sockies. From that book came a line of licensed merchandise, a coloring book, and the popular Monkey Made of Sockies golf club headcovers that have been carried on tour by several LPGA pros. Today I am an award-winning artist, television producer/host, author, and songwriter. My artwork is licensed and sold globally, and I just launched an online art school "Painterly." So many people have helped me along the way and I am truly grateful. It is my mission to give back by supporting others on their journey. Episode 4: BYOB By Self Advocating with Trigeminal Neuralgia with Belinda Gravel In today's episode, the hosts talk about what they have done recently to bring their best and enjoy a tasty beverage during the interview. Here's a little bit about today's guest: You know her, you love her! Belinda Gravel is the cohost of the BYOB show. She has had trigeminal neuralgia for over 15 years. In today's episode, she is sharing her journey with us.

Christen Engel's Bio: Christen Engel is an award-winning communications and marketing executive with more than 10 years' experience in healthcare and higher education. In her role as interim vice president of communications and marketing for Augusta University and Augusta University Health, she works to drive strategic enrollment and health system revenue growth through brand and public positioning, issues and crisis management, earned and owned media. In addition, she oversees mass internal communications and executive communication for an institution with more than 10,000 employees; the university and health system websites; the employee intranet; and institutional photography, videography and graphic design. Fun fact, Christen and Allison actually went to college together! Aubrey Hinkson's Bio: Aubrey Hinkson prides herself on bringing the work efficiencies of an agency model to the health care and higher education marketing space. During her time at Augusta University, she has been challenged with multiple brand transitions and unique opportunities for process improvement and team transformation. As the AVP for Marketing, she is responsible for the development and implementation of marketing strategies, plans and initiatives for the university. Aubrey is an instructor in the Hull College of Business at Augusta University. She received her Bachelor of Science in Marketing and Master of Science in Marketing from Clemson University. What you'll learn about in this episode: Christen shares why her collaboration with Aubrey has been powerful, especially during the process of navigating the institution's huge rebranding to Augusta University What challenges and opportunities arose from the consolidation between Georgia Health Sciences University and Augusta State University to become Georgia Regents University Why not including the community in the decision on the new name created lots of brand buy-in challenges, and why the institution renamed and rebranded again as Augusta University How, in spite of feeling disheartened by having two years of rebranding work abandoned, Aubrey and her team rose to the challenge of doing another rebrand so quickly How the right partnerships made a huge difference in the success of the second rebranding, and how intentionality and collaboration were crucial resources for getting buy-in Why pushing people to be brand advocates rather than serving as the “brand police” has been an important lesson and mindset shift Why Christen feels the rebrand was a monumental success, and how the rebrand created a unique opportunity to highlight Augusta University's unique offerings How Augusta University is navigating the challenge of tailoring messaging to different groups of students and alumni Why Augusta University isn't for everyone and doesn't try to speak to everyone but instead focuses on students who are looking to break the mold Why authenticity is absolutely critical for addressing today's students, and what advice Christen and Aubrey would share for anyone going through a major brand change Resources: Christen's Facebook: www.facebook.com/christen.carter.engel Christen's LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/christen-engel-25102a26/ Christen's Twitter: @CARTERC5 Aubrey's LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/aubrey-hinkson-2a497316/ Additional resources: Website: www.theundeclaredpodcast.com Website: www.upandup.agency Email: contact@upandup.agency
November is Jimi Hendrix month here on Deeper Digs! For the next few episodes we will be featuring several interviews with people who played with Hendrix, were inspired by Hendrix or have written extensively about Hendrix.All of this is in anticipation of the 78th birthday celebration of the man on November 27th, where the incredible recreation act “Kiss the Sky” will be performing their annual concert event virtually from the historic Bearsville Theater!See why Rolling Stone Magazine has said ""Yes believe the hype! This show lives up to it!” and why AXS-TV crowned Kiss The Sky featuring left handed guitar virtuoso Jimy Bleu, "The World's Greatest Tribute to Jimi Hendrix”.Kiss The Sky recreate Hendrix's most iconic concert moments in full replica wardrobe and gear so well that they have had the honor of playing with all surviving members of Hendrix's own bands including Billy Cox, The Last Gypsy. http://bearsvilletheater.com/events/kiss-the-sky-the-re-experience-worlds-greatest-tribute-to-jimi-hendrix-annual-birthday-celebration/Today we have two amazing guests to kick things off!First up is one of the greatest living drummers, Kenny Aronoff. Voted one of the top 100 drummers of all time by Rolling Stone Magazine, Drummer Magazine have crowned Kenny Aronoff the #1 Pop /Rock Drummer and the #1 Studio Drummer for his unique and emulated style combining finesse and power. The celebrated musician has contributed his talents to more than 60 Grammy® nominated recordings. Over 300 million records sold worldwide feature his work—1,300 of which are certified gold, platinum or diamond records!In his autobiography, Sex, Drums, Rock 'n' Roll! Kenny Aronoff talks about his childhood growing up in both the Berkshires and Mid-West.At an early age, music inspired him. He studied classical, jazz and every style in between—creating a foundation that evolved him into the versatile drummer he is today, with the talent to play anything. While trying to make it in the music industry in his early 20's, fate stepped in with the audition that would change his life—it was for John Mellencamp. His work with Mellencamp catapulted Aronoff to the top of the charts with hits like “Hurts so Good,” “Little Pink Houses,” and “Jack and Diane” paving the way for session and recording work for many remarkable artists.https://www.amazon.com/Sex-Drums-Rock-Roll-Business/dp/1495007936Batting second is Corey Washington with a very important book “Jimi Hendrix - Black Legacy (A Dream Deferred)” is the culmination of a two decade journey of author Corey Washington's exploration of Jimi Hendrix's complex and misunderstood relationship and impact on the Black Community. Jimi's life has been featured in numerous biographies over the years, but very little has been properly documented, when it comes to his influence on people of color. Hendrix was often seen by many to have transcended race, which is a slap in the face to his deep cultural roots, concerning not only his Black musical traditions, but simply growing up as a Black person in the 40's-60's.Corey seeks to add to Jimi's overall legacy, by embracing Jimi's Black culture, including the well known people in Jimi's life, as well as the voices that many do not get to hear from in your traditional Jimi Hendrix biographies.It was always a strong desire of Jimi Hendrix to garner a more diverse fan base. Although he never got to fully see the fruits of his labor, Jimi Hendrix - Black Legacy, will reveal that his wish ultimately came true.Corey Washington is a high school History teacher currently teaching in Richmond County, Augusta, Georgia.

My guest this week is Gaye Morris who lives in North Carolina and was previously based in in the UK and with whom I collaborated about 15 years ago on a book called Theology and Film. We talk about our rationale in writing it and the relationship between the Christian and the secular world. It was a validation of working on popular culture and there is a fascinating moment when Gaye talks about how she got to talk with Linda Hamilton on a plane about a chapter on The Terminator that appeared in a previous theology and film book that she edited. Gaye taught public speaking and media and communication studies, and a few religion and film classes, at Augusta State University and now teaches public speaking to undergraduates. We learn that Gaye’s father was in the military and as a family they tended to move around. She remembers fooling around on a farm as a child and how she thought that Santa was asking her from the basement if she had been good. We talk about her magical memories of Christmas from when she lived in Germany as well as watching Elvis movies at the military base. Gaye recalls watching movies on TV on Saturdays when she was young and we learn how she got into singing. She later became a Beatlemaniac and her fascination developed for all things British. She has an autograph of the band The Zombies from when they were in a hotel swimming pool and Gaye regales the story surrounding the most unusual autograph she has received – from Lauren Bacall. Gaye reveals that she was a ‘religious nerd’ from childhood and we learn that she grew up as a Southern Baptist, why she left it and how she ended up becoming a Roman Catholic. She has worked for Yorkshire Television on religious programmes and ended up lecturing at Ripon and York St. John and doing a PhD at Leeds on the relationship between the Catholic Church and the film industry. Gaye also talks about her involvement with film juries at major European film festivals. Gaye expresses her concerns about the shift to the right in Catholicism and how it led to her leaving Roman Catholicism as she could no longer find her spiritual centre there. She subsequently discovered Unitarian Universalism and was ordained. Towards the end of the interview we talk about the role of nostalgia and how Gaye has boxes of nostalgic materials. We find out why she doesn’t see nostalgia as something negative and we discuss the difference between having stifling negative experiences and working through them. We discuss the relationship between nostalgia and gaslighting with respect to the Trump administration in terms of someone telling us that reality is different from what we think it is. We learn that she once wanted to marry Paul McCartney and write the Great American Novel and Gaye talks about what she still hopes to be able to do in her life and why serendipity is her keyword.

There’s no title big enough to hold the accomplishments and aspirations for Taylor Winkelman. What has this woman NOT done? Just read her bio. Professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine. Legislative Assistant. Veterinarian. Army Sergeant. Advocate for space policy in Washington D.C. In general, Taylor works to make our world a better place for all of us. And, in typical Taylor fashion, why stop with the world? Let’s bring the benefits of the UNIVERSE- the many benefits that space exploration brings us - available to all. Taylor will lead the way. About Taylor, in her own words: I am currently working as a consultant for health security and humanitarian outreach issues in the Washington, DC area. I previously served as a Legislative Assistant in the office of Senator Edward J. Markey, primarily working on foreign relations, military and veterans issues, science and space issues, and global health issues. I also contributed to agriculture, animal rights, and veterinary issues within the context of our office's work. I paid particular attention to humanitarian crises, international development, human rights, the outer space treaty, and global health issues such as cholera, malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS. I spent six years in the Army as a Cryptologic Voice Intercept Operator, leaving as a Sergeant (E5). I led a team of 12 joint service members working a strategic mission, and a squad of 7 soldiers who worked on other missions. I deployed to Baghdad in support of OIF2. Honorably discharged, I attended Augusta State University in Georgia, double majoring in English and Biology. While there, I completed an Honors Thesis in Organic Chemistry under Dr. Thomas Crute, III, studying the synthesis of Persin (a potential breast cancer drug) and derivatives. I volunteered for the humane society and at the local Pediatric Emergency Room, worked as a freelance journalist, a veterinary technician, and an office assistant and tutor for the Chemistry and Physics Department at ASU. In 2011, I interned at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.I graduated from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine's DVM/MPH program, completing my MPH in Public Health Policy in December 2015 and my DVM in May 2016. I completed a summer externship at the Bahrain Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, summer research on Salmonella in backyard chickens in 2012, and an externship with the AVMA-GRD in Washington, DC in 2014. I went to Uganda with Veterinarians Without Borders in 2016, followed by a stint at the mEpi Lab at Massey University.
In this week's episode, we talk all things golf and golf fantasy with the Tour Junkies! Tour Junkies is David Barnett and Pat Perry, born and raised in Augusta, Ga. just minutes from The Augusta National Golf Club. Golf has been a part of their lives since day one. They grew up going to The Masters Tournament every year and seeing their favorite Tour players up close and personal while choking down their $2 Egg Salad sandwiches and $1 Moon Pies (later in life they traded in the Moon Pies for the “Import Beer” in the green cups). David even spent 2 years as a member caddie at Augusta National while attending Augusta State University which only fueled his love for the game even more.
In the summer of 2011, conversations began with the Governor’s office about potential mergers. Toward the end of the year an announcement was made that four mergers would occur. This resulted in eight institutions being merged into four. The most complex merger involved Georgia Health Sciences University and Augusta State University, which created one larger and more comprehensive institution than either had been separately. The University System of Georgia has had waves of mergers. Therefore much of the planning for the merger that resulted in Augusta University was done by the board and the administrative level of the University System of Georgia. Dr. Ricardo Azziz was instrumental in implementing that merger. Azziz continues to analyze the process that was used to create this complex merger. He co-authored a 2017 report for the TIA Institute and a book, Strategic Mergers and Higher Education, published by John Hopkins Press. Higher Ed Mergers: A Leadership Challenge Higher education mergers tend to be tenuous for multiple reasons, the biggest reason being that most mergers are not planned in advance – few institutions take the time to proactively consider the aspects of mergers and appoint appropriately experienced leaders. Additionally, most institutions don’t have access to consultants with this expertise. Azziz believes that many higher education leaders who guide a merger are not anxious to be part of another merger. At the time of the Augusta merger, there was little information available about how to execute a merger between universities. Institutional leaders had no roadmap – only theoretical research about completing mergers had been published at the time, so leaders were in some ways flying by the seat of their pants. One thing that helped was that the University of Georgia system hired a consultant to help with the accreditation of those mergers, as it took something off the already overflowing plates of the merger team. Higher education leaders who are leading mergers make every effort to network with those who have guided these types of organizational change and/or use an experienced consultant to guide the process. This will help leaders access the many tools needed to be successful. Seven Essential Elements There are seven essential elements that need to be in place for a successful merger: Supportive and understanding board The right kind of institutional leaders A vision that encompasses and drives the merger so the university community sees itself as part of the merger A sense of urgency so people understand why this needs to happen A communication plan A robust project management system Resources Most institutions wait too long to begin the merger process. These institutions may be facing a number of serious challenges, including budgetary issues and/or declining enrollment. The University of Georgia System leadership and state leadership took a proactive approach before the eight institutions were seriously in trouble and had reached a point of no return. However, the system officials had difficulty injecting a new vision or a sense of urgency because much of the data regarding the institutional selections was kept at the system level. Reasons for Mergers There can be many reasons for mergers; first and foremost should be to preserve a tradition or programs for students. Therefore, it is important to bring a focus of what’s best for students and how best to develop a higher quality education, experiences and training for students. This is the right focus that creates both a sense of urgency and focus. Emphasizing financial gain as the primary factor in creating a merger is the wrong approach to creating a sense of urgency because a merger is going to cost money. In fact, there will be additional costs in finances and personnel since the mergers need their own staffing and finances beyond what is available in the two institutions that are merging. Success vs. Failure Success is not an exact term when talking about mergers, but the bottom line should be about the students. If leaders keep the students and the quality of their education, experiences, and programs at the forefront of the vision of the merger, it becomes easier to see how the creation of a larger institution can offer more programs for students as well as more sustainable programs than what each smaller institution could provide. Failures of mergers can mean different things. These failures can include the institutions remaining apart because the administrations never fully combined. Even in cases such as these, whereas some institutions fail at merging, they use the experience to rejuvenate because they are forced to examine themselves carefully. Strategic Planning Mergers are usually discounted (or not even considered) as part of an institution’s strategic plan, but they should be. The American Quality Foundation and Ernst and Young published a study several years ago that looked across a number of different organizations in the U.S., Canada and Japan. The researchers analyzed what would create positive growth from a market capital perspective. There were three common findings which align with Azziz’s experiences in mergers: Strategy with good implementation Business process improvement that is focused on the customer Depth and breadth of leadership management practices. When building their institution’s strategic plan, it is important leaders and governing boards consider all options, including mergers, acquisitions and strategic alliances, in their planning process. This allows these concepts to be part of the lexicon and planning. Transformational Change Many mergers are coming as a result of revolutionary change in the higher education sector, such as some institutions offering free on-line courses or a life-long learning process that is cumulative. Higher education also is under significant pressure with societal changes, including technology, the need and ability of individuals to regularly expand their knowledge base as well as rapidly changing demographics. Unfortunately, higher education as a whole tends to be more comfortable with incremental change, and its leaders must expand their understanding and in fact embrace transformational change in the form of a merger. Azziz believes that higher education leaders must now adopt a more proactive and transformational leadership approach to ensure that future students get the best quality of education (which may not – and probably will not -- be the same type of education as they receive today). For example, the current generation of students are hesitant to seek higher degrees immediately – they want to go into the workforce and because they know they will be experiencing a number of jobs during their career, they know they need to take a continuous life-long learning approach to adapt and develop skills and knowledge that haven’t been developed yet. To successfully meet this challenge, higher education will have to adapt by creating different badging and certificate processes, using wider technology and embracing a more diverse range of learning materials. Higher education needs to respond more decisively and planfully in what is happening in the external environment, which is revolutionary. Meeting these challenges requires a visionary governing board and leaders. However, these boards often don’t embrace their strategic responsibilities in relation to the schools they lead – the experience of most boards and higher education institutions is one of times when change wasn’t as radical. In addition, board members often come from different industries and may not understand what is happening in higher education and don’t take the time to educate themselves. Clear Communication One of the critical things in mergers is communications. It is important to have a comprehensive communications strategy with concise messages that allows all members of the leadership chain involved in the mergers to deliver the same messages consistently. You cannot over-communicate, but conflicting messages and wordings are extremely problematic, especially because in academics, words matter. Project Management Project management is essential for a successful merger. Like dominos, a merger needs to have the individual pieces fall in the right direction at the right time to be successful – there can be severe implications for the institution if something is not done in a timely manner. Azziz was fortunate to have an experienced internal project management team who understood the complexity of the transaction, including having the numerous groups from accreditors to financial institutions involved. This comprehensive approach helped smooth the merger process. He recommended that smaller institutions hire an external project management team if an institution does not have one in-house. Resources Mergers require additional resources, both financial and personnel, beyond the needs of operating the two separate institutions that will be merging. In the case of Augusta, they merged a health sciences institution with a liberal arts / masters institution. The health sciences center had resources that could be diverted to fund the merger, whereas the liberal arts institution had less resources to dedicate. Culture The culture of a university campus is special and recognized. It also can be very difficult to cultivate when doing a merger. It takes a long time for a new culture to develop. Leaders need to remember to preserve the original culture so that everyone feels engaged while also creating a new culture that reflects the merger. These two perspectives do not have to be contradictory. Additionally, leaders need to realize that academic cultures in larger institutions tend to be heterogeneous; the culture in the college of engineering differs from the business school, which differs from the college of liberal arts. Leaders should not try to force the creation of a homogeneous institutional culture that has artificial parameters. 3 Recommendations for Higher Education Leaders Azziz suggested three take-aways for university presidents: Consider mergers and acquisitions as part of the strategic planning process’s environmental scanning. This doesn’t mean that they have to merge or acquire. However, they will have taken the idea of the merger into consideration. Understand that the external environment is changing in a very rapid pace. Taking an approach that only focuses on incremental change will no longer work. Bullet Points Most institutional leaders do not have experience in leading mergers, nor are there a plethora of consultants who can assist in a merger. There are seven elements that are critical in leading a successful merger: Supportive and understanding board; the right kind of institutional leaders; a vision that encompasses and drives the merger so the university community sees itself as part of the merger; a sense of urgency so people understand why this needs to happen; a communications plan; a robust project management system; and resources. Mergers should be undertaken for improving student education, programs and experiences. The primary drivers should not be financial. The possibility of a merger should be considered in the environmental scanning portion of a strategic planning process. This enable institutional leaders to begin to think proactively about this process instead of reactively when it is forced onto them by top leaders or external factors. Institutional leaders need to adopt a transformational change mentality, which differs greatly from the incremental change that has traditionally been taken in higher education. Leaders also need to be aware of and take into account the revolutionary changes that are impacting the higher education sector. Clear, concise and consistent communication is key in the merger process. All leaders need to be on the same page and use the same wording. A project management team – whether internal or external – are invaluable since this team will consider the various complexities of a merger. Additional personnel and financial resources are needed in a merger. These are beyond what each merging institution brings to the table. Creating a vital common culture is critical in a merger. However, it’s important to maintain the previous institutional culture for a period of time as well as not attempt to create a homogenous institutional culture that doesn’t fit every college / department.

The rapidly shifting landscape of higher education is bringing changes to a growing number of institutions. In 2015, Georgia Regents University became Augusta University. The name change was the second in three years. (In 2012, Augusta State University and Georgia Health Sciences merged, becoming Georgia Regents University.) Brand strategy is inherently challenging for colleges and universities, especially when it involves a rebrand. But what about the ultimate rebrand – a (second) renaming and a consolidation? On this episode of Marketing Live, Augusta University's associate vice president will take viewers inside the process and share insights.
Based on our recent global survey of more than 100 higher ed brand identity redesigns over the past 2 years, Ken Steele counts down the 10 best rebrandings – those that are professional, memorable, balanced and well-designed, AND that didn’t spark a backlash from faculty, students or alumni. #10: Saint Louis University, Missouri Design firm Olson of Minneapolis created a streamlined new logo using a vastly simplified coat of arms and an “ownable” fleur de lis. The branding system includes specs for consistent iconography, a variety of wallpapers, and a wide range of subbrands – including a new logo for Billken Athletics. This is SLU - https://youtu.be/CYMBLYkEsPQ About SLU’s New Logos - https://youtu.be/oc1tCyzm0_c What is a Billiken? - https://youtu.be/xmaxVk8lakY #9: Belmont Abbey College, North Carolina Another Catholic college redesigned their steeple-focused identity with the help of Rickabaugh Graphics in Ohio. The result is a dynamic shield emblem with fresher typography and a slightly brighter crimson, and a new mark for Crusaders Athletics. #8: Augusta University, Georgia In 2012, Augusta State University merged with Georgia Health Sciences to create Georgia Regents University – and then, apparently after a lawsuit from Regents University in Virginia, it changed its name again in 2015 to Augusta University. The new identity features a slick illustration of a colonial belltower (which doesn’t actually exist) that is simultaneously clearly a letter “A”. Augusta University Identity in Depth – https://youtu.be/CIBKWkF9DMY #7: Stanislaus State University, California It was known by far too many different names: CSU Stanislaus, CSUS, California State Stanislaus, Stanislaus State, Stan State, and even “Turkey Tech.” But with the help of the Jeffrey Scott Agency in Fresno, Stan State unveiled a snazzy new “split shield” logo system in 2015 that standardized its name. Departments and individuals can now choose from “CSU Stanislaus” or “Stanislaus State” logos, and even “Stan State” is officially endorsed for internal audiences. #6: Maricopa Community Colleges, Arizona The 10 colleges in Maricopa County had startlingly different brand identities, but in 2015 the Maricopa System unveiled “One Maricopa,” a new unifying logo system that would create consistent subbrands for each campus, while retaining their former colours and visuals. It was a masterful effort at compromise… but so far, there’s little sign that the colleges have actually adopted the new branding system. That’s the first half of our round-up of the world’s top ten recent rebrands. Next time, we’ll complete the countdown with the top five!

In a world full of turmoil and unrest, Passionate breaks forth with a sound of sheer comfort and ease. Passionate's sound has been known to comfort the heart and strengthen the listener with encouragement and hope for tomorrow. She has been writing music & poetry for as long as she remembers, and has fond memories of writing poetry & songs for her friends and family. During this phase in her early life, she coined the name of Passionate because of the passion and love she intertwined with the lyrics and melodies of her songs.Born May 22, 1982 in a small town of Butler Ga, Passionate soared over her small beginnings and took on a big journey in becoming known as an American soul, pop, poetic singer-songwriter, and guitarist. She has a very unique, but captivating sound that merge emotions, love, hope, and aspirations into the ears of the listeners. Coming from a background of disappointment, heartbreak, and loss Passionate learned how to place her pain in her music and chemically alter it into encouragement for the listener. In hopes of understanding people better to relay her message, she graduated from Augusta State University with her Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Sociology. Then in 2015, she graduated with her Master's degree in Professional Counseling. It is Passionate's hope that her music will be able to capture the heart of the masses through her understanding of their personal struggles.In 2007, she was awarded CSRA spoken word poet of the year. Also, in the selfsame year she began coaching and teaching the at-risk youth in the community poetry and drama. After many years of community performances and volunteering, Passionate decided to get underneath the management of Rodney Tillman of Tillmanagement to direct her business and music affairs. After she made that decision, everything she imagined began to be placed in motion. Underneath Tillmanagement, she dropped her first project, "The Journey-Love, God, and Relationships". This project open major doors for her. She was able to open for artists such as Chrisette Michele, Urban Mystic, Mary Mary, and travel on the BET Music Matters Tours opening for Marsha Ambrosius, Anthony David, and Melanie Fiona. After giving birth to her son in 2012, Passionate was released from former management and was on her own. On her own she dropped her second project "Stronger", which instantly became a community hit. She also recorded her first music video which was exposed to a greater audience by a retweet from world renowned Bishop TD Jakes and supported by Grammy Award winner lead singer of All 4 One Delious Kennedy. Passionate continues to write and create new songs, collab with other artists, and perform on stages. She also continues to pursue her passion and make music for the world to hear.
