Unfiltered Released: Youth Advocate Speaks on what it will take to reach this generation.

Tonight’s show is with the editor of Duval Connect Magazine Tiffney Funches Tiffney Marie & Co. She’s a certified life coach and transformational coach, youth pastor with Refresh Youth- a safe space for teens to fellowship and learn about God.

I’m excited about sharing the conversation we shared which was very open about our experiences within the community. They are not always good and sometimes there are internal conflicts and struggles.

Navigating through them can be hard because it can seem like one false move can lead to the loss of position, support, and future opportunities.

But then there is also an opportunity to bring forth change even though it may not appear to be that way at first.

I’ve known Tiffney Funches for over five years now. I’ve watched her pour into the youth of the Jacksonville community. No matter where she goes, her love for the youth follows.

In our chat we discussed the difficulties and challenges that come with advocating for the youth when faced with corporate, and organizational politics.

Sometimes it can be frustrating to have a heart for the community and not be able to make the impact that you truly want. In this video we discuss our shared experiences and what we’ve learned.

If You Asked Me To

You ever heard a song and it fit your current relationship story perfectly? That's how it was when I rediscovered Patti LaBelle's, "If You Asked Me To." LaBelle, released this song in 1989 from her album, Be Yourself . I remember hearing the Celine Dion version as well and falling in love with the song all over again. Celine Dion is another artist who has hits! I love the way she covers Jennifer Rush's, " The Power of Love. " It wasn't until I was in my late 20s that "If You Asked Me To" began to represent a moment in my love life. I was dating a guy, and we were in the car driving to his family's house because they all lived on one block. They would all gather together on the weekend to play cards and cookout and all the kids could play freely and random games would start, and it was a lot of fun. I loved that he enjoyed spending time with his extended family, and I could see that his nieces and nephews really loved him and enjo

I Could Fall In Love

I Could Fall In Love - The "Seductive Romantic Confessional" I became familiar with the American singer "Selena" Quintanilla after the movie about her life was released in 1997. I remember watching it at home and being glued to the television from beginning to end. While watching the movie I learned that this song was the first song to crossover into the American billboard and that she sung in English. I like this song because it is so relatable. I believe that many of us have stumbled into relationships where we realize suddenly that there could be more, and it could be great but then you question should it be? This song sings innocently about the first moments in love when all is new, and you are wondering what it could be. I love how this song is described as a "seductive romantic confessional. I would not have described it as a "seductive" until I translated the words that Selena speaks midways in the song. "I'm always dreaming o
