ABOUT LISA HAMILTON

As an inspirational author/speaker Lisa’s passion is to encourage women to live life to the fullest with her newest release of her candidly inspirational book UNSTICK YOUR STUCK LIFE .

After a life changing experience earning her a M.B. degree, Lisa speaks from the heart about
finding your Core Essence and living a proactive life from the inside out. She believes “a woman
should have it all. It is her God-given destiny to live an abundant life in health/beauty, on purpose,
in passion, with prosperity, in loving relationships and connected to God.

Anything less than that is Stuck! As a philanthropist, Lisa’s latest case is a story about a boy who recently underwent an urostomy surgery where he is destined to live with a urine bag just after graduating from high school.“ There is one doctor , though not covered by insurance, that can operate and perform a reversal.
“ I have absorbed the costs of the books, as well as all the profits from my book sales at the recent ESTHER PROJECT CONFERENCE at Fashion Island. I have raised $3500, with my final
goal $10,000. I will do anything to get this young boy an operation, and I will not quit until I do.

I want to give him a new life, as his life has barely begun.”

Broadway Star, Valisia LeKae Joins the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition to Break the Silence on Ovarian Cancer®

Grammy and Tony Award Nominee, Valisia LeKae, will appear as the Keynote Speaker at the NOCC's 15th Annual Conference, March 6-8, 2014, at the M Resort Spa & Casino, in Las Vegas.

Valisia LeKae

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) February 07, 2014

Grammy and Tony Award Nominee, Valisia LeKae, was starring in the Broadway role of a lifetime, playing Diana Ross in "Motown The Musical." Then Valisia was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer.
Now, one of Broadway's brightest lights has joined forces with the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition as National Spokesperson, to play one of the most important roles of her life, and plans to win!
Valisia understands the need for women to be proactive about their health, and that early detection saves lives. "It's another way for me to use my voice and be an advocate for this disease that I now have. I want to talk about it. I just want people to be aware."
Currently, there is no early detection test for Ovarian Cancer, and pap tests do not detect the disease. Unfortunately, most cases are diagnosed in the later stages, when the prognosis is poor.
For this reason, spreading awareness and promoting education about Ovarian Cancer is particularly important. If detected early, the five-year survival rate is over 90%. People must be aware of the disease and understand its impact on women, families, and communities.
"As a 34-year old, African American woman," Valisia says, "I feel that it is important that I share my story in order to educate and encourage others about this disease and fight against it. God has given me another role to play, and like all my previous roles, I plan to go all in, only this time I plan to win!
Valisia will continue to deliver her message of awareness about Ovarian Cancer as the Keynote Speaker at the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition's 15th Annual Conference, March 6-8, 2014, at the M Resort Spa & Casino, in Las Vegas.
About National Ovarian Cancer Coalition:
The Mission of the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC) is to raise awareness and promote education about Ovarian Cancer. The Coalition is committed to improving the survival rate and quality of life for women with the disease.

Ron Judkins, two-time Academy Award® winner for his sound work on Jurassic Park and Saving Private Ryan, and Director/Writer of Finding Neighbors joined me this morning!

If you missed Ron Judkins on today's show,
listen to our conversation here!

Ron Judkins, two-time Academy Award® winner for his sound work on Jurassic Park and Saving Private Ryan, joins me on today's show! And just recently, he wrote and directed, Finding Neighbors, which just screened at the Newport Beach Film Festival.

Filmmaking is Ron's passion, and Finding Neighbors is his second independent feature film as a writer and director. It's the story of a formerly acclaimed graphic novelist who goes looking for true connection outside of his marriage and... over the fence. It has often been described as a "coming of age film for middle-age."

This film has screened at several festivals around the country, always to very enthusiastic audiences. Recently it won "Best of Festival" at the Richmond International Film Festival in Virginia. Finding Neighbors just premiered at the Newport Beach Film Festival!

This is a film that was made on a shoe-string by friends and neighbors in the Atwater Village area of Los Angeles. The creation of the movie is a great story about how a small group of people with a vision can pull off a miracle -- against all odds. It stars Academy Award® nominated Michael O'Keefe (The Great Santini, Michael Clayton, Caddyshack), Catherine Dent (TV's The Shield, 21 Grams) and Sean Patrick Thomas (Save The Last Dance).



ABOUT FINDING NEIGHBORS

FINDING NEIGHBORS is a comedic drama about the relationships that develop between three sets of next-door neighbors as they explore creativity, aging, mortality, sexuality, and friendship.

Plot Outline

Finding Neighbors is a comedic drama about LA neighbors searching for true connection.
Six months late on a book delivery, once famous graphic novelist Sam Tucker has succumbed to a mid-life crisis. Instead of writing, he immerses himself in ice cream, television, and encounters with the provocative girl-next- door, Sherrie.

But it’s the unlikely friendship that Sam develops with another neighbor, Jeff, that finally begins to reconnect Sam with his creative thread… yet also unravels his home life.

As his wife Mary becomes suspicious about his mysterious metamorphosis, Sam may lose the one thing he has never doubted: his marriage.
