I sometimes surf social media in search of someone I think might be an excellent guest for this show. When I found retired US Army soldier Orvie B. Baker, Jr. I knew I had found true excellence! See, Orvie is a former SARC, Sexual Assault Response Coordinator, for the Army SAPRO (Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office). He has tons of experience as a sexual assault victim advocate and supervised and trained other Army SA victim advocates. Something even more extraordinary about Orvie is that after he retired from the Army, he went back to school and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Digital Cinematography! And now he's using that new-found love of movie making to produce a full-length documentary about the nation's first , located at Boom Island Park in Minneapolis, Minnesota. That was the post I found that made me want to reach out to Orvie…and I'm so glad I did! The fact that there is a Survivors Memorial blew me away! What a phenomenal idea!...but then to have someone with as much passion and zeal for victims and survivors as Orvie to come up with the idea to produce a documentary about the Memorial…boom!...mind blown! I just had to reach out to Orvie to see if he would be a guest on SASS, and fortunately for all of us, he agreed. Orvie goes into detail about how he found out about the Memorial, and what he did to start production of his documentary. This is a fascinating story, so don't miss this episode!! Accompanying Orvie's idea to produce his documentary, he also has a push going to get others interested in this project so that other memorials dedicated to survivors of sexual violence could be built in each state. Think that's a great idea?—me too! Which is why I want to encourage you to donate to Orvie so that he can get this documentary marketed to help get the word out. Orvie has a GoFundMe campaign that you can go to and donate! The link is , and listed below in case this link doesn't work on some podcast platforms. Let's do this: let's honor Orvie's service to this country and to his work as a SARC, and to his amazing idea to produce the documentary, by financially supporting Orvie! He also has a Patreon donation campaign that you can donate to or at the address listed below. On top of all that Orvie has done and is doing, he also wrote a children's book about staying safe from sexual predators called, “Don't Touch Me! Say No to Sexual Harassment,” that can be found on Amazon. I've read it…I highly recommend it! Orvie provided me with his bio...here it is: MR. ORVIE B. BAKER, JR. Orvie B. Baker, Jr. is a Chicago Native who moved to Louisiana at an early age and has been traveling ever since. Mr. Baker joined the Army immediately after High School,attending Basic Training in South Carolina; Army Individual Training and Airborne Training in Georgia; then serving at his first duty station at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Mr. Baker's enlistment offered multiple overseas experiences, including: Germany, Spain, England, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Iraq. In 2003, he attended the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI) and became an Army Equal Opportunity Advisor (EOA). In 2005, Mr. Baker deployed to Iraq as an EOA and, upon his return, transitioned to an Instructor at DEOMI. After twenty years in uniform, Mr. Baker was back in front of troops, in a civilian- capacity, as a Sexual Harassment/Assault Response & Prevention (SHARP) Instructor working to certify Victim Advocates and Sexual Assault Response Coordinators for the Army. Mr. Baker served as an Educator and Presenter for Catharsis Productions where he co-presented “Got Your Back”, a 90-minute interactive SHARP presentation. From 2014 to 2016 he conducted training the world over from the United States to Japan and areas in between . In his most recent position, Mr. Baker served as the 127th Wing Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program Manager at Selfridge from 2017 to 2019 and represented the organization both on and off Base. He was instrumental with standing up the 127th Wing Airmen Wellness Center; always the consummate motivator he earned the nickname, "DJ SAPR". Mr. Baker is the President of The Einmalig Group, LLC Consulting where he specializes as a guest speaker, educator and in climate assessments of workplace areas.

Chicago Native.  Notre Dame Alumni. NFL Vet. Overcomer. Renaldo Wynn can't help that he grew to be 6'3 and 290lbs.  He can't help that his tenacity on the football field garnered him honors in high school.  Renaldo cannot help that this allowed him to attend one of the biggest universities in the country.   It isn't what Renaldo couldn't help that shaped who he was and would become. It was the decisions that he made.   It was the decision to tighten up the reigns when faced with possible expulsion from Notre Dame.  It was the decision to radically change his life to win and maintain the love of his life.  It was the decision to give his life to Christ.  This week's guest teaches us that it is not what you are born with but what you choose to do that makes all the difference.

As Tommy leaves New York after losing Ghost, LaKeisha and the only city he's ever known, he makes a quick detour to close an old wound that's been haunting him for decades. What was supposed to be a quick stop turns into a labyrinth of family secrets and lies Tommy thought were long buried. One step leads to another and Tommy quickly finds himself in Chicago's drug game, inserting himself between the city's two biggest crews. In a city divided by race, Tommy straddles the line, ultimately becoming the lynchpin that not only unites them - but holds the POWER to watch them crumble.

Brooks is an active member of the Writers Guild of America, serves on the associate board of Colour Entertainment, and is grateful for the mentorship of former HBO Executive, Writer / Produce, Kelly Edwards, Writer / Producer Charles Murray (Sons of Anarchy, Luke Cage) and others. Brooks most recently directed 4 episodes and wrote the Season Finale for JOHNSON, which premiered on August 1, 2021 on Bounce TV to a groundbreaking 2.1 million viewers.

The Chicago Native is an active member Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and is no stranger to adversity so Brooks volunteers with the Young Writers Program, which encourages and cultivates young writers' skills. Brooks' experience over the last 10 years in social services not only adds to his storytelling ability but it also exemplifies his passion for cultivating the youth. The Artistic Standard's BEAR THE TORCH: BIPOC Mentorship & Apprenticeship program is where he's able to translate that passion into the entertainment industry, leading an incubator focused on providing Hollywood with rising BIPOC voices and creatives for the upcoming generations.
