Tuesday | 8/11/2020 | Truth, Justice & Expression: A Conversation w/ Jason Ivy.

'Creativity knows no bounds'; that's one of the many take-away's from our discussion with Mr. Jason Ivy. As an R&B artist, academic and NASA SPACEX ambassador, Jason is on the front lines of tangible, positive representation. From 'Learn To Strut' to the 'Remix Project', Jason's talents and passions take on many forms. It was great to learn about all the changes he's seen and has been involved in. Coming from the Southside of Chicago his voice is a welcome and fresh addition to the Aurora scene. As a show, we are fully committed to highlighting those making positive change and helping others. We spoke with Jason about what's currently happening in the City of Chicago and his thoughts on what he sees. One thing we discovered is Sade is a favorite artist of Mr. Ivy's and certain members of our show! That was very cool! Jason is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. At UPenn he majored in Cognitive Neuroscience & on today's episode he stressed the importance of positive reinforcement through representation. It was truly a pleasure speaking to this talented young man and we support him and all of his endeavors. The world needs more positive, like-minded people.  Shout out to the Aurora Public Library and Cape Con happening this week & weekend. Also, a big shout out and thank you to Aurora Public Art, Gin Ingram Art and the West Aurora School District 129. We'd also like to say thank you to all of our listeners and supporters. Shout out to Tredwell, All Spoked Up and Amy Nelson Photo. Good job to the City of Aurora, Northern Illinois Food Bank, Ward 3 Alderman Ted Mesiacos & Marie Wilkinson's Food Pantry for another successful pop-up food drive! We have much much more to come so stay tuned to the 2nd largest city's 1st daily news podcast. Be blessed, motivated, powerful and compassionate on this Tuesday and we'll see you tomorrow morning!
