If a picture is worth a thousand words, how would you give voice to those words?
This is the mission of Mouth of the Mural.
Mouth of the Mural is an ekphrastic (i.e. visual art into words) event that unites visual, literary and performance artists with business owners in an effort to celebrate community, connection, and conversation.
The initiative is founded by power couple Walter “Wally B.” Jennings and Charmaine "C-Maine" Jennings.
During our interview, we explored how to cultivate a loving, supportive, and long-lasting relationship.
There were so many special moments where Wally and C-Maine shared honest and vulnerable moments from their 20+ year marriage.
Walter “Wally B.” Jennings is an ordained minister, published poet, spoken word artist, MC/Host, instructor and strawberry Fruit Roll-Up enthusiast! A native of Tampa, FL, his poetical talents has allowed him to conduct over 1000 performances, workshops and mentorship sessions in the national spoken word community during his 20-year career.
Charmaine "C-Maine" Jennings is a 20+year leader in education. She is a writer, artist and champion for equity, culture, diversity and inclusion. She has designed and facilitated professional development and workshops for private organizations and K-12 public schools across county and state lines.
At the core of this episode, we discuss the importance of finding the spiritual power source that will sustain you.
I hope you will do yourself this favor, and dive into this week’s episode.
Enjoy.
