Marley interviews Brandon Vega to discuss his journey from athletics to celebrating the upcoming book release.  Check out Brandon's bio below:  Born and raised in Miami, FL. Vega is an author, poet and educator. In his spare time he's  involved in public speaking, coaching and mentoring children in both scholastic and athletic capacities. Vega continues to serve as a positive resource to those around him, by remaining active in his community. Being a former athlete taught him many valuable life lessons. Basketball gifted Vega opportunities to explore the world—gaining a more fulfilling outlook on life. Adversity is not something he is unfamiliar with, as he has embraced the element of change and its challenges.  His experiences and environment helped him create EATN which is known as the acronym for Exist Above The Noise. His survival enlightened his commitment to help the community. At times self doubt played a major role in his life. Just as many others may have experienced at times. Through a conversation about community and upbringing, and the motivation to make it,  Vega was bestowed the gift of the idea. Then EATN was born.  Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ey_8zDTAOHg  To Contact Brandon Vega:  Email: [email protected]  Website: https://www.starteatn.com/home    Contact Marley:  Website: www.marleneholmes.com  Email: [email protected]  Instagram: @yupshesaidit @the_bfca_experience --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/yup-she-said-it/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/yup-she-said-it/support
