I am a huge supporter of the arts and wanted to use this platform as an opportunity to give exposure to young artists. I’m so happy to have with us today an up-and-coming vocalist, Anna Yannessa, a Vocal Performance major at the University of Missouri.
As we walk together, she takes us back to the days as a young girl, when her dream to become an elite soccer player and play at a professional level for the National Team seemed all she desired.
A concussion while on the varsity high school soccer team put in motion the twists and turns of her creative journey which led her to follow her passions for art, journalism, and finally, music.
We talk about how important creativity is, especially for young children, and how allowing our children to have a say and take ownership in activities when young will help them to develop, find their purpose, and ultimately, their voice.
Anna provided the vocals for the musical intro to Season 1, and she lends her creative talent once again in Season 2. You'll love this episode and music..wow, what a vibe!!!
She plans on continuing her vocal studies at the graduate level and can be reached on
