Sam Metzger & Colin Cameron

Send us Fan MailIn this exciting episode of The Anna Jinja Show, we shine a spotlight on two extraordinary individuals from Ohio University who are making a real difference on campus and beyond. First up is Sam Metzger, a passionate advocate for foster care-connected students and the chair of OU’s Coordinated Community Response Team. Sam’s leadership and work with the Ohio REACH program provide crucial support for students with foster care backgrounds, creating an inclusive and empowering environment.  Joining Sam is Colin Cameron, our featured artist-in-residence, audio engineer at WOUB, and doctoral student in health communication and digital storytelling at Ohio University. A talented musician and songwriter, Colin discusses the impact of his creative work and his song "Hold My Head" by his band, Beach Novels. The song, a reflection on imposter syndrome and personal growth, resonates deeply with students navigating the challenges of university life, particularly those with complex backgrounds like those supported by Ohio REACH.  Tune in for an inspiring conversation about overcoming obstacles, fostering community, and the power of storytelling through music. Listen now and dive into their stories of advocacy, creativity, and connection!Creative CollisionHold My Head by Colin Cameron Yeah it's all fine and it's all wellWhile you're finding a good reason to stayAnd I've been faking how I stay cleanWon't you love me how I love myself?It's just part of growing oldCounting the seconds 'til you find your ownThey just love me cause I say thingsAnd you hate it, that's the way it goesJust hold my head for the nightWe can sleep while it's rainingAnd maybe I shouldn't know thisMaybe you wouldn't noticeThat I can't seem to focusJust hold my head for the nightWe can sleep while it's rainingAnd maybe I shouldn't know thisMaybe you wouldn't noticeThat I can't seem to focus (that I can't seem to focus)Sometimes I wish I could just stop breathing in and out but I'm afraidCause what if I wake up and I find outThat my stopping was the easy way down?So I'll go another dayOf never sitting still for very longThey all love me in my dreamsAnd you hate it every time I sleepJust hold my head for the nightWe can sleep while it's rainingAnd maybe I shouldn't know thisMaybe you wouldn't noticeThat I can't seem to focusJust hold my head for the nightWe can sleep while it's rainingAnd maybe I shouldn't know thisMaybe you wouldn't noticeThat I can't seem to focus (that I can't seem to focus)Just hold my head for the nightWe can sleep while it's rainingAnd maybe I shouldn't know thisMaybe you wouldn't noticeThat I can't seem to focusJust hold my head for the nightWe can sleep while it's rainingAnd maybe I shouldn't know thisMaybe you wouldn't noticeThat I can't seem to focus (that I can't seem to focus)Support the show
