Good Deeds

Good Deeds presents Author Tanya Harris My goal as an Author is to provide a creative means of entertainment that will inspire a positive change in the lives of my readers. The satisfaction felt from knowing that organized words on a page can influence the thoughts and/or actions of others is immeasurable.  I love writing period whether it be poetry, short stories, novels, etc.  I am inspired by people, conversations, music, life experience, art . . . pretty much anything that tells me a story influences my creative expression.  I have emotional ties to my work not because I can relate to all of the experiences expressed, but because of the emotions I hear from those who can.

Good Deeds presents They've Been Trained.  They’ve Been Trained is speaking to their generation in a language that they can understand. Their platform is Urban/Inspirational, and with all of the youth on youth violence, school shootings, and the racially motivated murders in the last decade; their new EP release comes bearing a message of “LOVE & UNITY”. Not only is the message heard in the lyrical content of their songs, but it can also be seen during live performances as they dance across the stage and use life issue skits to further leave a visual message imprinted in the minds of those in the audience. It is TBT’s desire to see their generation rise to the occasion and prove to the world that they will not be X’d out by youth on youth murder, suicide, and gang violence. Instead, they declare that their generation will revolutionize the world in a profound way.  It was in 2007, under the direction of their parents, AJ & Colette Darby and Elder George and Dr. Jacqueline Stewart of the AGQC, that TBT began to be trained about the importance of using their gifts to positively impact the lives of others. The group consists of four siblings. They are known to be polite, trust worthy, and believers. They have the attitude that you can either work hard and see the manifestation of what God has spoken concerning your life, or you can be lazy and be a worker of someone else’s vision.  “Like so many others, we’ve been called to our generation.” says Christian, the only girl and lead singer of the group. “The message is the same, but our method is just a little different.” Therefore, it is their hope that as people listen to their music and experience their ministry, lives and minds can be changed, people can be healed and delivered, and a dying generation can find hope, happiness, and love through Christ Jesus.

Jonathan Valencia is a 12 year old who loves Jesus.  He was born in Jacksonville, Florida on August 3, 2001.  At the early age of 3, Jonathan’s idea of play was preaching on his Karaoke machine.  He has always enjoyed attending church. Jonathan has always been recognized as being deeply grounded in God’s word and bold about his walk with Jesus.  Many Pastors would often state that Jonathan was a little preacher.  As for me, I refer to him as my tugboat because he has pulled me along in my spiritual walk. Being inspired by God, I began to do what I love to do which is to write.  As a result, my words poured out as a song I titled “Kingdom Bound”.  The song was written for Jonathan to use to inspire other youth to pursue their calling now.  Matthew 19:14 speaks directly to us on how we should prepare children for the kingdom. Jonathan has a deep love for Jesus and wants to spread the good news to the world.  His first release “Kingdom Bound” is for everyone but the target audience is the youth due to Jonathan’s sincere concern for his peers who listen to explicit lyrics.  He understands that many of the words they repeat are not good for their minds and many of his peers are not even aware of the things they are speaking on their lives through the lyrics they repeat. Jonathan continues to rely on his faith in God’s word to overcome obstacles that have challenged his faith. The obstacles have caused him to develop a consistent prayer life and commitment to learn scriptures.  Jonathan is currently ministering his music in churches and various events.  His boldness in serving Jesus is evident when he is on stage professing the name of Jesus.

Good Deeds presents Lorelie Rozzano is a recovering addict. She is also a mother, wife, grandmother, foster parent, family counselor, author, small business owner, sister, aunt, daughter and friend. For Rozzano, a phone call to her parents when she had reached her lowest point, out of work, money and friends due to her addictions, turned things around and brought her to treatment. She has now been living clean and sober for 17 years. And it is this success and desire to share her knowledge and the possibility of help to others that led to the creation of her first book Jagged Little Edges, and then her second, Jagged Little Lies, for she has now found what she needed to soften those edges that were destroying her life.“The relief I had in becoming well was actually what I had been looking for in drugs and alcohol,” Rozzano explains. It was in treatment that she discovered her strong inner core and learned how to examine her life and behaviors in a brutally honest fashion and to admit just how her addictions had ruled her life for so long.Rozzano now works at the center she sobered up in and is dedicated to helping others with the lifelong struggle against addiction. And perhaps for someone reading the bleak, painful truths in the Jagged series, Jagged Little Edges, Jagged Little Lies, or on her blog, www.jaggedlittleedges.com there will come a moment of clarity and self-awareness that can help that person also get ready to change. “After all, Rozzano states, if I can get sober, anyone can.”
