It’s official!!!!!!!!! I’m humbled and honored to officially serve as Deputy Director of Community Relations for the Kansas City Fire Department.

First and foremost, I give all glory and honor to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The last few weeks have stretched me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Late nights. Early mornings. Reading. Rehearsing. Reflecting. Preparing. Trusting God through every moment of uncertainty and pressure.

This moment is bigger than a promotion for me. It represents years of growth, sacrifice, leadership development, service, and commitment to people. Every classroom, every mentor, every difficult assignment, every conversation, every failure, every lesson, and every prayer helped prepare me for this opportunity.

I’m grateful for every person who poured into me throughout this journey. My family, friends, mentors, chiefs, fraternity brothers, instructors, prayer warriors, coworkers, and people who challenged me to think bigger and lead differently… thank you. You all played a role in helping shape the man and leader I continue striving to become.

One thing you’ll always hear me say is:
“All that I am, I owe. I live eternally in the red.” -Carl Holmes Edi

Leadership is not about titles or position. True leadership is servant leadership. As you climb, you should always be reaching back to help somebody else rise too.

To my family especially, thank you for the sacrifices made through the late nights, the travel, the meetings, the studying, and the time away. Thank you for believing in my purpose and supporting my mission to continue changing the community one conversation at a time.

I don’t take this opportunity lightly. I’m ready to serve. ❤️🔥

And honestly… it’s a weird flex as a dad. Growing up in the inner city of Kansas City, I was all too familiar with that lifestyle.

But seeing my son look confused like, “Dad… what are you talking about?” lets me know his mom and I must be doing something right.

Sometimes generational progress looks like your kids not even recognizing the environment you had to survive. 💪🏾

In this clip, Mark talks about the weight that comes with the position he holds. The decisions, the pressure, the responsibility that impacts people’s lives. His perspective was simple. Everything that comes with the role, he gives it back to God. Because he knows there’s no way to carry that kind of weight alone.

When The Popper sat down on Let’s Talk Shop KC Podcast, the story behind his name had everybody leaning in. What makes it even more interesting is that his background doesn’t fit the stereotype people expect. He went to Catholic school, carries himself a certain way, and speaks with a level of structure that catches people off guard.

But Kansas City has always produced individuals who don’t fit the box. Long before the world knew the name Tech N9ne, his first producer IcyRoc Kravyn was working at Seventh Heaven right here in KC while helping shape a sound that would eventually travel worldwide.

That’s the thread. Authenticity.

Hip hop sometimes tries to tell you how to look, talk, and move. But the people who leave a mark are the ones who stay comfortable being themselves. The Popper is another example of that KC energy. Unique. Unapologetic. And memorable because he never tried to become someone else.

When Karis Harrington joined Let’s Talk Shop KC Podcast, we unpacked something real. Too often we let culture, algorithms, and opinions define beauty for us. But beauty was never meant to be graded by shade charts or social trends. God is the true source of it.

Whether you identify as white, Black, brown, biracial, or anything in between, your value is not determined by society’s lens. Self love starts when we reject comparison. Self care deepens when we understand that our identity is rooted in purpose, not perception.

The more we emphasize what connects us instead of what divides us, the stronger our communities become. Unity is intentional. Division is easy.

Let’s continue building bridges through KC G.I.F.T. and Let’s Talk Shop KC Podcast. If you’re serious about collaboration, economic empowerment, and conversations that move culture forward, tap in.

Deona HuSTLe did not “end up” in Kansas City. She chose it. She was intentional about creating a new lane and building space where she could thrive. That is strategy.

Then one invitation to a student led campus radio show changed everything. She did not know it would spark a lifelong love for media. That is obedience.

And through it all, she stays grounded. She knows when to call home. She knows her mom is a prayer warrior covering her in ways she cannot see. That is foundation.

Faith. Intention. Preparation. Positioning.

Shout out to Deona HuSTLe for dropping gems in Carter Broadcast Group with Hot 103.3 Jamz. Let’s keep exposing students to real stories that shift perspective.

Your wreck might be your setup.

I sat down with Craig Donnell Jr. from Intentional Living and this one hit different. He told his wife he wanted to buy a car by spring 2025, but even while saying it, he admitted it did not feel possible. Leaving church in February and he was in a wreck. By March, he was buying his wife a new car.

Proverbs 18:21 says life and death are in the power of the tongue. What you speak over your situation matters. Mark 11:23 reminds us that what we say and believe in our heart carries weight. Romans 8:28 makes it plain that God works all things together for good for those who love Him.

Sometimes what looks like loss is leverage. Sometimes what feels like disruption is divine direction.

Watch your mouth. Speak life. Trust God.

Petey McGee grew up without affection from his mom. The only time he ever touched her was when he found her body. That truth still shapes his life today.

You cannot heal what you do not reveal.

“Woogie” just violated my hairline on my own podcast 😭😂

When I asked Gerald “Hubie” Huston what sets him apart from other comedians, he said it’s his distinctive look, his nickname “Woogie,” and the fact he’s funnier than all his friends.

Then he talked about being a childhood actor, he played Stevie Wonder in a play at church…
Which somehow turned into him roasting how big my hairline is 😭

Bro turned a serious podcast question into a full comedy sketch.

This is why Woogie is different.
This episode had me crying laughing and reminded me that humor always wins.

Kansas City, do you see why Hubie aka Woogie is one of one 😂

Sometimes the scariest thing isn’t the dream, it’s saying it out loud. In this moment, DaJah Marie spoke life into her future without flinching.

When I asked her who was hyping her up when the vision felt bleak, short answer, HER! she answered with clarity and faith. The foundation of this show is rooted in Christ and the Bible reminds us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. Speak life over your future, your circumstances, and let God do the rest.
