On December 6, 2025, in Florida, the very first Speak Now Gala: Survivor Stories will take place — and I’m honored to serve as your host. This unforgettable evening will celebrate courage, resilience, and transformation, shining a light on the voices of survivors whose stories inspire hope and ignite change

Voices I Never Left" is a testament to the power of showing up. For Black boys and Black men, consistency is more than a habit—it’s a promise. It’s the quiet, steady echo that says, ‘I am still here, I still believe in you, and you are still worthy.’ In every season, through every challenge, presence becomes the bridge to trust, hope, and transformation.

We’re proud to sponsor Beyond the Stage — a movement that’s more than poetry, more than performance. It’s a platform where voices rise, stories heal, and communities unite. By standing behind this event, we’re investing in creativity, truth, and the power of words to inspire lasting change.

Standing on that stage at the BBBM Conference in Grand Rapids, I felt the weight and the honor of the moment. This was more than a presentation—it was a space for truth, healing, and empowerment. Together, we explored how faith, wellness, and leadership can shape a new narrative for Black boys and men. The conversations, the stories, the energy in that room—unforgettable. This isn’t just a conference; it’s a movement, and I’m grateful to be part of it.

In preparation for our highly anticipated gathering, Outside '25, I had the privilege of interviewing Caleb Joshua, known affectionately as CJ—a Baltimore-based artist and devoted follower of Jesus. During our heartfelt conversation, CJ shared deeply personal insights about his spiritual journey, emphasizing the beauty of learning through human experiences and the transformative power of boldly living out one's faith.

CJ illuminated the importance of unity among believers and offered practical wisdom on embracing our inherent value and purpose. He passionately conveyed his vision for the event at the iconic Lincoln Memorial, highlighting that attendees—both believers and seekers—can expect powerful moments of worship, prayer, and authentic connection.

This interview promises to inspire and encourage, reminding us all that our individual stories matter and that our collective voice has the power to bring profound change. Don't miss this powerful dialogue as we move closer to a transformative experience at Outside '25.

In the heart of Grovetown, Georgia, a transformative gathering unfolded that left an indelible mark on all who attended. The New Day of G.R.A.C.E, hosted by Dawn Charleston-Green on March 15, 2025, was not just an event; it was a profound journey through the core principles of Gratitude, Resilience, Acceptance, Courage, and Empowerment. Each session peeled back layers of everyday struggles, revealing the luminous potential within each of us to lead a life enriched with grace. This day was a powerful reminder that when we come together to share our stories and wisdom, the impact can resonate far beyond the confines of a single gathering.

“The Called and Dom the Nerd Poet took the stage at Lydia on H, each weaving stories that connected strangers in the crowd like old friends. You could feel the electricity in the air—everyone was there to celebrate creativity and each other. As the words flowed, barriers dissolved, and the diverse tapestry of the audience became one brilliant, harmonious chorus.”

Hey everyone!

Just a quick shout-out as we gear up for the Stellar Awards this August 3, 2024. It's always exhilarating to celebrate the best in gospel music, and this year, I'm thrilled not only to attend but also to remind you to grab a copy of my book, "Mastering the Journey: A Guide to a Spirit-Filled Life." This book is close to my heart, and I believe it can make a real difference in your life.

Also, while you’re marking your calendars for the awards, don’t forget to tune into the Nikki Rich Show. It’s an amazing platform where we dive into all things culture, entertainment, and community. Nikki always brings fresh perspectives and inspiring conversations, and I can't wait for you to see what we've got lined up.

Stay blessed, stay inspired, and remember, the journey to mastering your spirit is just a book (or a show!) away.

Love and light,

Jeremy B Sims

Under the glow of flickering lights, the camera pans across a table scattered with vividly designed cards, each one a portal to strategic depths and fantastical adventures. The clink of a card laid down breaks the silence, signaling the beginning of a game where wits are tested and every move is a brushstroke in a larger picture of cunning and challenge. This video captures the essence of the game—where minds compete and imaginations soar, inviting players to step into a world where every decision shifts the balance of power.

As the sole funder, every decision rested on my shoulders, from conceptualization to the final cut. It was a labor of love, driven by a passion to tell a story that would resonate deeply with others. Every frame of this video is imbued with the sweat and tears of a dedicated team. There were moments of doubt, where the end seemed nowhere in sight, but also moments of pure joy, where we could see the narrative come to life. This emotional rollercoaster is the life of a creative director – challenging yet immensely rewarding.

As the applause washed over me, standing on the stage at the SPEAKNOW Awards, the weight of the award in my hands was palpable, filled not just with the honor it bestowed, but with the gravity of what it represented. It wasn’t merely a piece of metal—it was a symbol of hope, perseverance, and the collective spirit of those who serve without hesitation. This award, while a personal achievement, is truly a beacon for all who dedicate their lives to the betterment of our communities. As we look forward to the SPEAKNOW Awards Reloaded in 2025, let's remember this moment not as the peak of our journey, but as a profound reminder of our mission: to serve, uplift, and transform.

Stepping onto the set of "Brighter Days" was like walking into a hub of creative energy. Hosted by Cindy Hancock, whose charisma lights up the room, the live recording felt more like a dynamic conversation than a formal interview. The crew at Phoenix Rising TV showcased utmost professionalism, making every moment count. Don’t miss the episode’s release on the Phoenix Rising TV app—this is one you’ll definitely want to see!

As we prepare for the next "Can We Talk" Mental Health Symposium in May 2025, I find myself reflecting on last year's event, which was a profound gathering that offered hope and actionable advice on mental wellness. Hosted by Taraji P. Henson, the symposium created a space for honest discussions and personal stories that emphasized the importance of mental health awareness and the need to dismantle the stigma surrounding mental illness. With educational workshops and inspiring narratives, the event was not just a discussion—it was a movement. As excitement builds for the 2025 symposium, we remain committed to spreading awareness and fostering empathy within our communities. Together, we can continue this vital conversation on mental health.
