Sounds of Hope...

Hello there!

You all have inspired me to not only continue on the authorship journey, but to also launch the Pierce the Silence podcast. I received so much feedback and support with my first book: Ignite Your Faith- Bullies, Broken Wings, and a Bullhorn, that I knew it was not time to place the pen down. IT was also time to pic the mic up!

Get ready to tune into the Pierce the Silence podcast. The podcast will cover topics related to navigating systems that govern our everyday living and how to advocate for a person with a disability. Please also read why I have my God-given gifts, through my story: Ignite Your Purpose-Pierce the Silence.
Who am I? I am simply a mother, who aspires to see cultures changed to where all are accepted with their differences. Why not you too? We all can bring impactful change to our communities; we must PUSH the limits to break the barriers!

Season One - I'll be the judge of that!

On the Pierce the Silence podcast, your hosts are Xila C. Hope and Abstrak Mind (because we cannot move forward without that male perspective!). We will also have special featured guests who can help us deep dive into certain topic areas. The 25 episode topics initially lined up- are for you, our listeners! The silence spoke so loud about the things we encounter when are responsible for a person with a disability. So we want to thank you for inviting us into your space. ☺️

Although we will take a deep dive into some sensitive, yet important topics, our main intention is to provide you with a real world experience that generates an overview on what it takes to advocate for a child and young adult with a disability. We will touch on environments suitable for the educational, athletic, and work places; as well as, what relationships can be like with family and friends. These are the type of discussions you don't want to miss!

*Featured Guests:

Parents of children with disabilities
Community & Family Members
Advocates
Counselors & Medical/Behavior SMEs
Special Education SMEs
Athletic Personnel

philanthropy

C. Hope believes that philanthropy is one way to bridge the gap with systems that impact our everyday living. When the communities within these systems are equipped to help at a micro level, the impact can only be greater at a macro level. So, C. Hope is on a mission to have a pencil bring the change we need to see!

C.Hope is also the founder and principal designer of HIS Wingspan, where they specialize in personalized gifts. While making some moves in silence, C. Hope also does philanthropy. Through her shop, she equips and motivates the youth. In 2023 she received an Unsung Hero award from The Ophelia Foundation for the HIS&HER17K Pencil Initiative. The goal of this initiative is to get 17K pencils in the hands of students who have a need while in the classroom environment. The pencils are not just writing instruments, the pencils also inspire students to get to their next step, regardless of any limitation that they may be experiencing.

The Why: This initiative started because students who have executive functioning limitations may show-up to class appearing unprepared to learn,
when in fact - all they need is a pencil and a little motivation!

I Want to Help!
