D. Channsin Berry
D. Channsin Berry

D. Channsin Berry (Chan) is the thought innovator of a new film distribution platform known as, “Film Tours Entertainment”, a concept and global film distribution company he created that connects the new movement of movie premieres of social value to the audience via open dialogue with the director/producer immediately following a screening. “Film Tours” was created as a direct result of a few negative main-stream Hollywood reviews. Mr. Berry felt that “Dark Girls” was a project created to be seen and experienced by African decedents as a springboard for their healing. “My mission in life is to tell our stories from our point of view. It takes Black consciousness to tell our stories the way we need to hear them, and the way we need to see ourselves. It is all about focusing on us as Black people, and we must not allow others to tell us who we are and what we have experienced. I am an image engineer for our people!”

In between his music endeavors, Mr. Berry has directed independent films and documentaries such as, “A Different Shade of Love”,

“My Father’s Music…Jazz” (Documentary for PBS/Cable) and, “The Black Line: Profile of The African-American Man (parts 1, 2, and 3)”. Mr. Berry also produced, “The Sam Cooke Story: Crossing Over”, part of the PBS “American Masters” series, and is currently working on the sequel to “Dark Girls”, titled, “The Yellow Brick Road”, also with Bill Duke. In 2013, Mr. Berry anticipates production of his self- written dramatic feature, “Martin Lane”, starring Oscar nominated actor, Viola Davis and her husband Mr. Julius Tennon.

Mr. Berry has worked in television as Executive Producer/Director on BET’s NY/LA Entertainment Magazine, “All The People”, a talk show in the San Francisco Bay area sponsored by Fox-TV, “Shaq Jam” Hip-Hop concert, sponsored by DirecTV/Fox, “ReMixed”, sponsored by BET, and the Fox entertainment show, “Poker Dome”.

Mr. Berry is the Founder of the D. Channsin Berry Foundation, a non-profit organization whose purpose is to raise funds for LUPUS awareness.

During our conversation, Chan shares about various subjects including:

– Some of his current projects including “The Black Line: Profiles Of The African American Female”, a documentary of gospel singer Tramaine Hawkins and a documentary on the 1970’s & 1980’s R&B group “The Sylvers”
– Some of the artists he has worked with including Prince, Chaka Chan, Rosie Gaines, Nancy Wilson
– The story behind the documentary series “The Black Line”
– What he has found about Black men
– How does he balance his life
– the story behind “Dark Girls”

Joye Dunkley - The Joye Ride
Joye Dunkley – The Joye Ride

Ernestine Joye Dunkley (Joye) is the founder of The Joye Ride, an organization focused on restoring the hope & hearts of at risk individuals who may have lost direction. Joye lived a high risk lifestyle for many years, while suffering from bullying, poverty, depression, & low self-esteem. Joye thought hanging around a negative, corrupt crowd validated her & continued to do so even after being raped, physically abused & used for illegal transactions. Although she knew what she was doing and the things she was involved in were wrong, without the guidance, self-esteem & scruples she headed straight down a dark road. After losing her mother to Cancer in 2006, Joye knew it was time for change.

As a single mom, who struggled to survive and moved numerous times with her baby boy, Joye was tired. Still battling temptation and involvement with the wrong men, Joye decided to change her life for the better, get a job & try her hardest to live right. Joye created The Joye Ride in 2010, which began with The Joye Ride DVD/On Line video series chronicling “The Fast Life” hosted by Joye herself. In 2011 her past caught up with her and she was extradited from Canada to the US on a major Federal Investigation that back dated to 2005. Although her involvement in the case was minor, she was sent to jail, where she was looking at 18-22 months at a Federal Correctional Facility in the US. Joye ended up at one of America’s worst county jails in the entire country while she awaited her destiny. After she denied the bail offered, held herself accountable and plead guilty to her charge, Joye received a time served sentence after 7 months in jail. While behind bars Joye grew even more passionate towards high risk individuals she was already reaching out to through The Joye Ride organization before her incarceration.

The Joye Ride now has a motivational pen pal program, a program for at risk youth at Falstaff community center, Kool Kicks shoe drive for the homeless, and last but certainly not least an inmate release program in which they provides inmates who have nothing upon release with the basic necessities of life.

Joye continues to visit incarcerated men & women in her community, listening to them with empathy and speaking to them about her success while encouraging them to live out their positive dreams. Joye’s favorite saying is “I Believe in YOU”. Outreach is Joye’s passion.

Joye will be live on our show tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern/6 p.m. Pacific.

The Dr. Vibe Show: Live Tonight At 8 P.M. Eastern/5 P.M. Pacific – Seth Dolcy

Seth Dolcy
Seth Dolcy

Seth Dolcy is a Barbadian industrial arts teacher who is also a comics enthusiast, comic book collector, blogger and promoter of comics and graphic novels as worthwhile reading material. Additionally, Seth is the founder of the Facebook group ‘Comics Appreciation Team’, popularly known as C.A.T.

C.A.T. has been around for nearly 2 years and has a membership of approximately 230 comic aficionados from Barbados and around the world. C.A.T.’s mission statement is: “Reaching out to the masses to unite similar minds in the further appreciation of comicdom in its totality.” In this vein, C.A.T. promotes an in-depth understanding of comics and interest in reading. Themes, artwork, writers, plot and story-lines which all make comics exciting are discussed in the group forum. Moreover, C.A.T. explores the complexity of fictional characters, considering the diverse ways these characters impact people’s imagination and perhaps even their world view.

In addition to older comic enthusiasts, C.A.T. caters to teenagers through a reading club at the Princess Margaret Secondary School in Barbados called Club R.E.V.A.M.P. The acronym stands for Reading Engineered Via Artwork Meaning and Plot. This club was born of Seth’s concern that in this contemporary society, some children are unable to read, write and/or comprehend simple sentences because they are not interested in reading what is available to them. Club R.E.V.A.M.P uses comics to grab students’ attention, meeting them where they are and cultivating an appreciation for reading, while facilitating the development of comprehension and analytical skills. This venture has met with some success and appears quite promising.

Seth’s personal goal is to remove the stigma attached to comics by underscoring the various gains which can be accrued when comics are perceived as worthwhile reading material.

Seth will be live on our show tonight at 8 P.M. Eastern/5 p.m. Pacific. Seth will be talking about comics through the years and their role as alternate reading materials and the elimination of the stereotyping of persons who read comics. He will also talk about his Facebook group (Comics Appreciation Team), why black people don’t read as much and the Reading Engineered Via Artwork Meaning and Plot (R.E.V.A.M.P.) reading club.

During our live interview, you have the opportunity to call in and share with us and ask questions via Skype. If you would like to do this, please call us at: doctorvibe42. If you get through, please be patient and we will get to your call as soon as possible.

Marie Roker-Jones

Marie Roker-Jones of Raising Great Men is on our show tonight live at 9 p.m. Eastern/6 p.m. Pacific.

Here is a little about Marie …

“I am married and the mom of two boys. Instead of Two and a Half Men, I’m living with One and 3/4 Men. (I’m bad at math). I like to think of myself as the black Liz Lemon (30 Rock). I’m nerdy, quirky and funny in my own mind. Thankfully, I have a teenage son to remind me I’m not that funny or cool. Growing up, I hung out with my brother and his friends and thankfully learned a lot about boys and men. As the D.W. in my brother’s life (for my Arthur fans), I began to realize that boys are deceptively simple.

I chose to start Raising Great Men a little over a year ago for two reasons: 1) I wanted to help other moms of boys navigate the challenges of raising boys and 2) I didn’t want my sons to grow and be like some of the guys my friends and I dated. I also wanted to share my experience as a woman who has been around boys and men for over 30 years. ( That may sound dirty unintentionally).

I am a guy’s girl. I enjoy watching sports and instead of chick flicks, I like Judd Apatow and Adam Sandler movies (Don’t judge me). I am a flawed Christian and a work in progress (but who isn’t?).

Anyway, I’m not just some random mom, below is my professional bio:

With more than 15 years experience and current history of providing training and development services with leading Fortune 500 companies, Marie Roker-Jones is a Certified Breakthrough Parenting® Instructor and Intrinsic Coach® in Health and Wellness. She has helped numerous moms of boys navigate the challenges of raising sons, especially the adolescent years. She is the Founder of Raising Great Men™-Real talk about raising boys to become men of character. Marie coaches moms to guide their sons as they journey from boyhood to manhood.

Marie is a graduate of Fordham University and has graduate certificates in Stress Management and Leadership. Marie has taught career development at Leham College and City College.

In addition, she has worked with students and parents in NYC public elementary, middle and high schools and has conducted workshops for: The Harlem Book Fair, The Westchester Children’s Book Festival, Harlem Children’s Zone Promise Academy, The New York City Charter School Center.

Her most requested workshops are:
