 Our best days can inspire excellence.

I am a healthcare executive completing a dual degree, Master of Public Health / Doctor of Health Sciences, focused on raising awareness about behavioral health, specifically among teens and college students. My dissertation research is focused on raising up the voice of college students beginning with communities of color. I am committed to helping people connect to their purpose in collaboration with mission-aligned leaders. Together we will achieve great things!

Our project is a first step in raising awareness about a national health epidemic. All proceeds are reinvested directly into proactive strategies for improving behavioral health among youth, teens, and young adults in collaboration with community partners.

Our youth, teens, and young adults are reporting the highest levels of loneliness on record according to the U.S. Surgeon General. Our work is going to help change that through simple actions that bring people together for the common good, focused on lifting people up, and creating stronger in person connections.


Let Love Flow (Over & Under)

"Falling Forward" is the debut album by Marqis Mason – a musical journey through restlessness, self-discovery, and hope. Across ten deep and dynamic tracks, Mason blends indie pop, hip-hop, and electronic influences into a sound that feels both modern and emotionally resonant.

The album explores the highs and lows of life – from escaping into nightlife ("Gimmy Dat Bounce"), to the inner struggle between past and future ("Break the Chains"), to the search for real love ("Caught in Your Eyes") and the importance of friendship ("All My People").

With introspective lyrics, powerful melodies, and driving beats, Marqis Mason proves that every step – even a stumbling one – moves us forward. "Falling Forward" is more than just an album; it’s a soundtrack for those navigating their own journey.

Lyrics:
Her Wistful heart stopped her crafty mind
Exhilaration had made her blind
Now she’s stuck in your old photographs
Adorning real things with sweeter dreams
Pushing a needle with creepy keen
But she’s still stuck in your old photographs
She wears a big smile, bigger than her eyes
So you don’t see when she starts to cry

Love me like you never did before
Drive me crazy I’ll keep wanting more
You’re the rose so I’ll be your thorn
Floating, hunting through your dreams alone, with you

You gave her all you could to make her feel
Loved and warm in your little home
But she was carrying a burden made up of air
She bought the flowers you put on your song
But she was fading in her mind of storm
You would not see you’ve drawn off the colours from her cheeks
Your canvas blooms and she fades away
There is nothing left to say

But her mind was not in charge
Pushing pins down her little heart 
I fall apart, with you

Love me like you never did before
Drive me crazy I’ll keep wanting more
You’re the rose so I’ll be your thorn
Floating, hunting through your dreams alone, with you

With you

A sonic manifestation of resilience. Cosmic R&B laced with coded defiance and hypnotic basslines. You either hold the wand or let it break you.

Vapula

When The Moonlight Paints The Sky

blame

[Verse 1]
Woke up late, hit snooze again,
Guess the world’s still circlin’ the drain.
They say history don’t repeat, but hey,
It sure does hum the same refrain.

Check the news—oh wait, don’t bother,
It’s just last year with a different collar.
Should I scream? Should I cry?
Or just refresh and watch it die?

[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to care, but the bar’s too high,
So I’ll sip my drink and wave goodbye.

[Chorus]
Nothing even matters, nothing’s really real,
Spin the wheel, take a guess, see how you feel.
Laugh it off, flip a coin, burn another page,
History’s a rerun, just a different age.

[Verse 2]
Called my friend, he’s doomsday preppin’,
Says the past is future, so he’s steppin’.
Bought a bunker, bought a gun,
Me? I bought some bubble gum.

They built Rome just to watch it burn,
Guess we never really learn.
Same old play, same old plot,
Same old guy who takes the shot.

[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to care, but my brain’s on strike,
Guess I’ll binge-watch my own decline.

[Chorus]
Nothing even matters, nothing’s really real,
Spin the wheel, take a guess, see how you feel.
Laugh it off, flip a coin, burn another page,
History’s a rerun, just a different age.

[Bridge]
Give me liberty or give me brunch,
But don’t expect me to do too much.
If the world’s a sinking ship,
At least I’ve got my soda sip.

[Outro]
So build a throne or build a pyre,
Either way, we’re all expired.
And when it’s done, just start again,
Tell yourself it’s different then.

Nothing even matters

LYRICS

Se un filo dorato ora
O tra pochi istanti
Spuntasse da questa nuvola,
Proprio qui, sopra la mia testa,
E penzolasse, invitante
Suggerendomi di tirarlo verso di me,
Ubbidirei subito all'istinto

E tirerei quel filo,
Ritrovandomi
Da un'altra parte
Dello spazio e della mente

Se fossi lì, con te,
Ti aiuterei a mantenere
Lo spirito leggero,
Col sorriso e la misura
Dell'Eutrapelìa (*)

Direi la verità,
Ripudierei le furberie
E ogni inutile orgoglio
In un mondo in cui
Le falsità
Sottili e accomodanti
Regnano sovrane

Potremmo camminare
Lungo il sentiero
Trasparente e luminoso
Che porta alla città di Parresìa (*) ,
Dove nessuno crea,
O beve,
La menzogna

Adesso
Fai attenzione:
Mentre parliamo,
L'ora già
Scorre rapida

Cogli il tuo tempo,
Fidati del domani,
Meno che puoi

Cogli il tuo tempo,
Fidati del domani,
Meno che puoi

Cogli il tuo tempo,
Fidati del domani,
Meno che puoi

----------------------
(*) Nell'Antica Grecia la Parresía rappresentava il dovere morale di dire la verità; l'Eutrapelìa era la Virtù del comportarsi piacevolmente.

--------------------

Seize Your Time (lyrics)


If a golden thread, right now
Or just a moment from now
Were to emerge from this cloud,
Right here, above my head,
And dangle, invitingly,
Urging me to pull it towards me,
I would obey my instinct at once

And I’d pull that thread,
Finding myself
Somewhere else
In space and mind

If I were there, with you,
I would help you keep
Your spirit light,
With a smile and the grace
Of Eutrapelia (*)

I would speak the truth,
I would reject all cunning ways
And every useless pride
In a world where
Lies,
Subtle and convenient,
Reign supreme

We could walk
Along the path
Clear and radiant
That leads to the city of Parrhesia (**)
Where no one creates,
Or drinks,
Falsehood

Now
Pay attention:
As we speak,
The hour is already
Rushing past

Seize your time,
Trust in tomorrow,
As little as you can

Seize your time,
Trust in tomorrow,
As little as you can

Seize your time,
Trust in tomorrow,
As little as you can


(*) Eutrapelia – The Greek virtue of pleasant and balanced conversation.
(**) Parrhesia – The moral duty to speak the truth in Ancient Greece.
