Today on Hitting the Streets, I sit down with Amy Hoffman-Shehan to talk about the upcoming Texoma Earth Day Festival happening April 18th!

This year’s theme, “Planet vs. Plastics,” shines a light on simple, practical ways we can all reduce our environmental impact and take better care of our planet.

The Texoma Earth Day Festival is a fun, family-friendly community event where everyday people can learn, connect, and walk away with real tools to make a difference.

🌎 Free to attend and open to the public.

Tune in to hear what you can expect, how to get involved, and why this event continues to make an impact right here in our community.

Welcome to another episode of Hitting the Streets Podcast.

My guest today is MJ Sumrall, a U.S. Army Veteran, recovery coach, author, and founder of triumphantlythriving.com . MJ works with service members, veterans, first responders, and trauma survivors to help them move out of survival mode and into the lives that are resilient, regulated, and intentionally thriving.

Her story is one of resilience, healing, and breaking cycles of generational trauma. MJ openly shares about her own recovery journey, the challenges of living with Functional Neurological Disorder, and how trauma doesn't have to define the rest of your life.

Please tune in to hear her story!

Big thank you to Kim Byler for being a fantastic guest host!

Today on the show, I sit down with Rayce Guess, Vice President of the NAACP Grayson County chapter. We talk about the founding of the NAACP in 1909, the purpose behind its mission, and why its work continues to matter today.

We also bring the conversation local, exploring the history of the Grayson County NAACP and the role it plays in our community. A meaningful discussion about history, justice, and the power of staying informed.
