New Shoes for Leo
Written by Lauren Deedy Noonan
Narrated by Gary Tiedemann	

William's Mami and his Tía Ana are busy packing a big box of food, medicine, and clothing to mail to their family living in Cuba.

But something important is missing.

They have no zapatos, no shoes, to send Cousin Leo!

"Which cousin is Leo?" William asks.

Tía Ana answers him with a thin paper tracing of Leo's footprint. She nudges him out the door to find someone in the family with spare shoes in Leo's size. But finding shoes for Leo is not as easy as it seems.

With warmth and tenderness, Lauren Agra Deedy and Susan Gal have created a rich, colorful story of a tight-knit family - and the love that grows as they care for those living far away.

New Shoes For Leo - Audiobook Clip

Playful and unique, this light, eclectic pop track conveys fun, originality and a spirit of youth. The arrangement is energetic, keeping its energy with the help of instrument variety (vocal synth, 808 bass, trap drums, trumpet, pad, and acoustic guitar) and pushing drums. Its enthusiasm and eclecticism make it a handsome fit for comedies, light-hearted shows, positive self-help themes, dramas, travel, financial and tech-centric programming. Multicultural and Genre-defying.

Big Dreams Are Possible

John Starcluster - Many-Splendored Rays of Hope

Known as Chap, this Puerto Rican Chaplain in Georgia is focused on church unity and diversity, and showing our faith with works, hence the name of the church he's the founder and pastor for: Love in Action Outreach Ministries. He's also the organizer of a special event this weekend called "March for Jesus Columbus." You can learn more about both at https://www.facebook.com/loveinactionoutreachga.

(2:33) Chaplain Emilio Rosa first talks about his call into ministry, that started with translating his dad's sermons into English for a church at age 8. 

(8:26) He recalls facing racism while growing up as a minority in the 1970s in Brooklyn NY. Rosa opens up about pet peeves about churches separated by race, but what can be done about the divided body of Christ? He says we have to be intentional about being with those that don't  look like us, amidst a push lately for multicultural churches.

(13:45) The event March for Jesus will happen in downtown Columbus GA - for a 4th year - on Saturday March 15, with gathering at 9am at St. Luke church then heading out on 3 mile march at 10am, with a break in the middle for a brief message and worship. Part of this is praying for local cities and leaders. Columbus' mayor is scheduled to be involved again. Rosa talks about why being part of this is so important, getting out of your comfort zone, showing a diverse group that has a message of hope for those seeing this march.

(27:05) The chaplain also breaks down the ACTION part of his church "Love In Action Outreach." Most of Jesus' work was outside the church. He talks about how he/we can identify needs. Part of the way Rosa does it is through being on the Columbus Hispanic Outreach Committee - sharing resources, networking, then doing. For more info, you can send an email to loveinactionoutreachga@gmail.com or call Rosa at 770-837-1421.

He closes us out in prayer. Thanks for listening to the #RunTheRace podcast, which I hope you'll subscribe to! Share it with your friends. Also, write a quick review about it, on Apple podcasts. For more info and listen to any previous episodes, go to www.wtvm.com/podcast/.

A slow opening emotional cinematic track with a simple piano melody and a large string ensamble orchestration. Minimal drums and analog sub bass give this track a modern feel, while orchestral elements bring a sense of an epic crescendo. Great for motivational videos, emotional trailer or investigation / mystery / crime.
