THE HEROINES CHOIR improves the mind, body and spirit of breast cancer victors and their supporters while inspiring audiences through the healing art of chorale.

Professional Bunhead from NYC, travelled abroad extensively via her art form and escaped the limitations of her neighbourhood, family, culture and socioeconomic predisposition at an early age. Having first-hand knowledge about the power of transformation through the arts, Alice, used her training to create opportunities for others to have similar experiences. She founded her non-profit agency, Heroes Unite in 1990 as a response to the community need in Miami due to the lack of services and resources for underserved populations ranging from the HIV populations, terminally ill children, families of domestic abuse, underserved youth, poverty-stricken, oncology patients and most recently breast cancer victors. With a strong theatre background, using the arts as a viable method for empowerment was a natural fit. From the first organic community garden in North Miami to Mobile Micro Theater all offerings under Heroes Unite result in high scoring measurable outcomes delivered with patience, mindfulness and humanism. Over the course of the past 25 years in Miami, we have served thousands of people discover the bounty within via programs, events and projects all based in a variety of well managed, professional arts offerings.

Arts 4 Healing is yet another free contribution to the Miami community to fuse the medical and arts communities in sharing proven tools to for anyone seeking enhanced wellness.

Through Marilyn’s contacts in the community, we have formed a partnership with Your Bosom Buddies, assisting us with our rehearsal space & a stage. As the Coordinator for Buddie for You, matching up trained mentors with newly diagnosed, she has recruited new choir members as well as many of those she is personally mentoring.

S15/21 The Blind Blogger

May 18, 2015April 6, 2018Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Maxwell Ivey Jr originally aired from May 26th on.

untitled-design-1 Never Give Up and Never Give In for you never know what your journey is really about until you walk through your barriers.

I am a 48-year-old blind gentleman who grew up in a family of carnival owners. All I ever wanted to do was to continue in my father’s and grandfather’s footsteps and be part of the family business.

As you can tell by reading this, that isn’t where I ended up. I did help in the business over the years, but couldn’t sustain it after the early death of my father (who had lung cancer). I then turned to helping people sell their amusement equipment. I do that on my other site,

The Midway Marketplace.

I started blogging to promote that site and met a lot of wonderful people in the blogosphere. They told me that I had an amazing story and many commented on how I inspired them. They finally convinced me that I had a bigger purpose in store for myself.

So, I started this second blog, and in it I share more of my personal journey, struggles, and triumphs. I also got noticed by a lot of people and have appeared as a guest, an interview subject, and a motivator on many different sites. My As Seen Online page lists these places.

I do my best to help others, and do so mostly by encouraging them to take steps towards their ultimate goal or to continue on the path they have started.

I am now offering coaching to help people who are stuck and frustrated with not being able to find their passion or follow their dreams once they have determined what they want in their lives.

I am also available to speak to groups. I believe that by sharing the story of my personal growth and transformation, it will motivate and inspire anyone who hears it.

In addition to starting a new business, I have also lost over 250 pounds through a combination of gastric surgery, diet, exercise, positive attitude, meditation, and prayer.

I believe I can help you. If you have questions for me, just ask them via the contact form. If anything, I am known for being too forthcoming!

I want to get to know you and become friends. I want to hear about your dreams and aspirations as well as your fears and concerns. I want to help you to grow to be that person you were meant to

Leading You Out of the Darkness Into the Light: A Blind Man’s Inspirational Guide to Success

This is my first book. It is a motivational one where I share my personal experiences as a blind entrepreneur and the lessons I have learned along the way. It includes exercises that you are encouraged to do and report on as you work through them.

S15/20 The Foundation Of Respect

May 15, 2015November 11, 2017Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Dawn Marie Westmoreland aired from May 19th on.

Dawn Marie Westmoreland author of The Empowered Whistleblower: A Practical and Spiritual Path to Personal Power, prompted the need for a foundation for women being bullied in their workplace.

The Foundation of Respect is a non-profit organisation established by Dawn to help empower women who are being bullied in the workplace. The Foundation of Respect offers women the ability to seek guidance through coaching, speaking engagements, on-line training, and free tips. The Foundation of Respect also offers women the ability to recover and to step into their personal power, feeling more confident and empowered. Dawn is constantly sought out by media to discuss the mission and underlying story of The Foundation of Respect.

Dawn Marie Westmoreland is a speaker, writer, “breakthrough” coach, and hypnotherapist.

She used to be a former leader in hiding! She used to hide from being her greatest self. Why? Dawn was scared of her power and was afraid of failure. She was also disappointing a lot of people because she was not living in her zone of genius, but the hardest critic was herself. After many struggles and lessons, she learned how to achieve everything she set out to do that is alignment with her goals and values. Dawn took her past challenges and made them into triumphs. After working 25 years in the government, she took the initiative and left an unfulfilling career to now help empower professional women who are struggling to get through their “blocks” and realising their zone of genius.

Dawn is a retired Air Force veteran, who worked in many special duties and leadership positions. Learning has always been her forte and she studied leadership, earning a masters in management and human resources. Her curiosity of learning enabled Dawn to earn other degrees and certifications such as horticulture, business, life coaching, and hypnotherapy. With many years of experience, she uses these tools to help women “shift” into their true potential, in a powerful and quick transformation. Women learn how to command respect and step into their personal power in a shorter measure of time than other methods. Dawn is living her life with passion and designing every day with an alignment of her values as she teaches her clients to fulfil their own destiny as they see fit.

TSM P14/28b Veterans Regain their Dignity and Purpose in life

April 13, 2015May 19, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 2 Comments

Originally Aired on July 15th, 2014 on Positive Living Vibrations Roundtable with Sara Troy and her guests Kathy Gambill and Colonel John Pettit

The dignity of a veteran should always be honoured for their service to their country. So why are so many coming home to nothing? We should not just celebrate them for dying for their country, but be there for them now in rebuilding their lives. They are shattered, they have had to do things that no man or woman should have to do, they are suffering from post-traumatic syndrome and many are unable to work. They are not the same people they were when they left, how can they be? they need help and support more than ever in that they can find dignity, meaning, and purpose once again in their lives.

Today we talk about the stress and anxiety and depression and what is being done to help the veterans to find a prosperous life again. Kathy Gambill and Colonel John Pettit are helping their soldiers regain their dignity and sanity with support and a nutrient called Q96. I have used this myself and know in how it helps, and if we can help the veterans around the world regain their lives, then let us find a way to do it.

Kathy Gambill

My background with the military goes back to 2006 thru 2010 When I was elected President of the “Everett Navy League”. This was not a paid position, but truly a labour of Love. Fundraising in the community and a very generous group of businessmen and women afforded me to supply our Navy families, with much-needed support.

My latest involvement with the Military is very exciting, but a much different path. A little over a year ago I was introduced to a Micronutrient that was helping restore tens of thousands of people’s lives who suffer from everything from mild and severe stress and depression to ADHD and many other brain disorders. The 25 clinical studies were very impressive, and the people I shared the product with were getting better. One of the people I was introduced to, who was desperately looking for help, happened to be COL Pettit’s daughter in law who was suffering from a severe case of Anxiety and also depression. I worked with her over approximately a 3 week period. COL Pettit was taking notice of her amazing recovery and that is when I was introduced to John. Little did I know that this was the beginning of a new and exciting project to help our Veterans overcome the challenges and the debilitating effects of what COL Pettit calls mind wounds. And our new project began. We have been working with active duty and veterans who are suffering the effects of long tours of combat duty, past and present.
