Happy last day of October...or in many places, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! It's been a full year of silence and I'm here to break it during our 4th anniversary month with an episode from the vault. I have a very random schedule but I intend to get back to the mic soon! Love you guys and will share stories later.

Hello, welcome to the show. Or should I say back to the show? Things are back up and running and today I bring you a Veterans Day special feature. Ya girl has finally gotten some gear!!!

Please, stick with me as I learn how to use it.

This episode features three new individuals to the platform!!! All have prior military experiences. The conversations expressed in this episode are just a sample of the WEALTH of information that they have to share. If you have any specific questions you want to ask them, please leave a voice message on our anchor page! You can also write us via email at simplyfirstclasspodcast@gmail.com and we will collect your inquiries until another session with these community leaders!!!

Thanks for your patience!!!

With Love,

CSea

Hi all!!! I'm sooooo excited for this update! Things are probably going to still be a little delayed as we are finishing the semester up, but there will be more content next year! I have been building a home studio for some time now and finally...FINALLY could afford to get what I need to record from home. There's so much to catch up on for missed time. Thank you all for your patience and hopefully I'll be able to meet y'all in real life in no time!

This week I had a chance to speak with Angela. She's the coordinator of "Black Ink", a community expo put on by the Chesapeake Public Library to give local creatives a place to present their abilities!
