Good Morning Nashville ☀️

IT IS OFFICIALLY MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH ‼️

By now, those that have supported us know, the month of May we amp up our platform and brand in a many of ways. Expect new episodes, we’re gearing up for our annual charity bowling fundraising event this month, anything involving mental health in our city we are looking to be a part of. Thank you to our listening audience for rocking with us, and continue to share our platform to those that need it most. With that said … let’s get into today’s first episode for Mental Health Awareness Month ⭐️

We are more than excited to be bringing to the show a true native of Orlando, Florida, and a brother that definitely knows a thing or two about dribbling a basketball. He has had experience both at the collegiate level as well as professionally overseas, and is still actively looking to find a new team to showcase his talent. Presenting to some and introducing to others, our good friend and brother, Mr. Marcus Millien 💫

Marcus comes to our platform and talks with us about his passion behind not only the game of basketball, but the game of life. A lot of his credit was given to his mother, whom he states has been a true pinnacle piece of his life and overall development. Marcus spent some time overseas playing basketball, and told us that his mother’s values instilled in him gave him what he needed to be successful. Overseas, he talks with us about how it’s so important to not dwell on the “highs”, because the same way fans will love you one day, they’ll hate you the next. How many times have we seen professionals play years in their respective sport, but can’t come down from the excitement of what that life brings? So many athletes have allowed their emotions to get the best of them after an extended career, but Marcus has showed us with his story that with faith and a firm foundation … you can bounce back from anything and reinvent who you are. Today’s episode is a good one, please take the time to listen to a black man vent today.
