Image
Today our guest is Summer McGaha from North Carolina. She has been storytelling for most of her life, but only really discovered it was her passion in 2006. She began writing an age-gap love story named The Adoption Elopement. The story grew for four years, by which point, she's changed the name to Myrian's Journal and after almost a decade, a new plot for the characters have begun to grow. She is currently writing the sequel. We have conducted an interview with Summer. How did your story's title 'Myrian's Journal' evolved from "The Adoption Elopement"?

Interview with rapper Flame Kizzle

We have conducted an interview with rapper Flame Kizzle from Phoenix, Arizona. Where did you get your inspirations to create your newly released Single, Corrupt? My inspiration behind my Single Corrupt. Came from, how I felt when I found out who had won the Presidential Election for 2017. Why did you name it 'Corrupt'? What is your story? I named my song Corrupt because Donald Trump portrays he cares so much about America. In my opinion all reality everything he's doing or has planned is only to better himself financially. Donald Trump disrespected people with disabilities, he makes sexist comments toward women, he's banning transgender military recruits. My single Corrupt is also helping with Hurricane Harvey relief by purchasing independent music. I was in Willy Northpole "Back To Mexico" music video. So watching Willy get signed to Disturbing the Peace, motivated me to want to make my own music and create my own style. How di...

Majority ...
