When I needed services to secure my safety and placement, I had access. Every positive outcome I have experienced is founded on this fundamental truth – sanctuary saves lives and prevents continued or worsening adverse experiences. I was fortunate to have the care of a public-school teacher; Andrea C. Viggiano was my Journalism teacher at Toms River High School South. She petitioned for custody when I ran away, and 3 days before Christmas, I was able to go home with my Viggiano family. The shelter made such an impression that I returned to college in 2010 with the goal of working there. I completed my A.A. at Ocean County College, magna cum laude, in 2013. Shortly thereafter, I began employment as a part-time residential counselor while continuing my degree at Stockton University. In 2014, I was promoted to full-time residential counselor, but in 2015 I had to step aside due to health issues. I returned to Stockton University and completed my Bachelor of Arts degree in 2019, magna cum laude. My major focus was Psychology with a minor specialization in Childhood Studies. My CAPSTONE final project, “Treatment effects for maltreated children and adolescents,” used 2015 data from the Longitudinal Studies of Child Abuse and Neglect (LONGSCAN). I created and tested my own hypothesis using a two-way mixed ANOVA. I continued to learn my life's passion in 2022 at Montclair State University's Child Advocacy and Policy M.A. program (4.0 MA). I completed the two-year program in June of 2024.

Award-winning writer and director Chrys Phillips recently sat down for an inspiring podcast interview with Floyd Marshall Junior, where she shared her journey of overcoming adversity and ultimately becoming a successful filmmaker. Phillips, who hails from Australia, has made a name for herself in the industry with her acclaimed TV drama series "Counter Play" and her debut feature film "Madison and the Happiness Jar." The interview delves into Phillips' early beginnings in the film business, revealing that her path to success was not without its challenges. Phillips recounted a pivotal moment in her career when she discovered that her manager had wrongfully obtained the copyright to her book series, leaving her devastated and unsure of her next steps. This setback led her to pivot towards creating her own web series, which eventually caught the attention of Amazon and propelled her into the world of TV and film production. When asked about her childhood and how she turned challenges into advantages, Phillips shared a poignant reflection on her experiences with abuse and how she chose to view her tormentors not as perpetrators, but as fools. This mindset of resilience and determination helped her navigate tough situations and ultimately shaped her into the fierce and independent woman she is today. The conversation also touched on the theme of adversity being a catalyst for growth and transformation. Floyd Marshall Jr. referenced a quote by a personal development guru, stating that things don't happen to you, they happen for you. Phillips acknowledged the truth in this statement, recognizing that the obstacles she faced in her past ultimately shaped her into the writer and director she is today. Reflecting on her journey, Phillips acknowledged that if things had gone differently, she may have pursued a completely different career path. However, it was the challenges she faced and overcame that propelled her towards her true passion in filmmaking. Phillips' resilience, determination, and unwavering belief in herself have been instrumental in her success as a storyteller and director. The podcast interview with Chrys Phillips serves as a powerful reminder that adversity can be a stepping stone to greatness. Phillips' story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of perseverance in pursuing one's dreams. Her journey from a challenging childhood to becoming an award-winning filmmaker is a source of inspiration for aspiring artists and creatives everywhere. ======== Submit Your Film to Our Film Collective: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ifapfilmcollective.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect With Floyd Marshall Jr: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/floydmarshalljr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@floydmarshalljr0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aconversationwithfm/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aconversationwithfm/support

Do you have an inner knowing that you are meant for more? What are you doing with that thought? Are you stuffing it down? Saying to yourself, “ I'll get to that thought someday”? In this episode, Monette shares an exercise that asks you to look at your life as if you were scripting out a play. You should see yourself as the director, creating your movie where you don't settle, you make it fun and exciting, and you stop taking yourself so seriously. Monette's challenge is that you listen to this episode and experiment with this idea, and create an incredible story.

“Humanity is messy, each of us starts with ourselves, it's horribly messy and then multiply that times millions. And that's an incredible, lovely mess.” So says Joy Harjo, the 23rd United States Poet Laureate, and the first Native American to hold that post. She is the author of nine books of poetry, several plays, and childrens books, and two memoirs—and is an internationally renowned performer and writer of the Muscogee nation, with an innumerable number of prizes and fellowships at her back. Today, we sit down to discuss her second memoir, POET WARRIOR, which just came out. It is beautiful—not only the story of her life, but a vehicle for deep wisdom about language, metaphor, and ritual. We—as individuals, as communities, as nations, and as humankind—exist in a collective story field, Harjo tells us. Everyone's story must have a place, a thread within the larger tapestry—and our story field must constantly shift to include even the most difficult stories, the ones we want to forget and repress. But, as she remarks, the hard stories provide the building blocks for our house of knowledge—we cannot evolve without them. To move forward, we must find ourselves in the messy story of humanity, assume our place as part of the earth in this time and in these challenges. For Harjo, it is when we turn to song, poetry, and the arts that we are able to re-root ourselves in the voice of inner truth, a knowing that has access to stories past, present, and future. And it is this wisdom of eternal knowledge that will help guide us forward—if we only stop to listen.  Joy is also the winner of the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, the PEN USA Literary Award for Nonfiction, the Jackson Prize from the Poetry Society of America, the Wallace Stevens Award from the Academy of American Poets, and the William Carlos Williams Award from the Poetry Society of America. Harjo is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, the New Mexico Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts, the Rasmuson United States Artist Fellowship. She is a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets, Board of Directors Chair of the Native Arts & Cultures Foundation, and holds a Tulsa Artist Fellowship. In 2014 she was inducted into the Oklahoma Writers Hall of Fame.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Finding ourselves in the messy story of humanity…(6:33) Returning to rituals of becoming…(36:14)  The story of mothers…(42:59) MORE FROM JOY HARJO Joy Harjo's Website Poet Warrior: A Memoir More Books by Joy Harjo Upcoming Live Events Follow Joy on Twitter and on Instagram Learn more about your ad choices.
