Host Tyrone Tony Reed Jr. interviews Debra Stackins, Wo/Men's Resource and Rape Assistance Program (WRAP) Domestic Violence Response Specialist and Valerie Conley, WRAP/Department of Children Services liaison.

WRAP is an agency in West Tennessee providing services to both sexual and domestic violence survivors. The program coordinates its efforts with those of local law enforcement agencies, attorneys, hospitals, social services agencies, state agencies, and court offices so that it can work together to provide the best services possible to the clients it serves.

In this episode of "Hub City Now" host Tyrone Tony Reed Jr. interviewed world-renowned, award-winning illustrator, author, comic strip artist and songwriter Guy Gilchrist (best known as Jim Henson's cartoonist).

In this episode of "Hub City Now with Tyrone Tony Reed Jr.", the host interviewed Mehr Mansuri and Eric Doizer, who spoke about the award-winning Children’s Theatre Company of New York, a non-profit 501c3 organization which has a social-justice imperative at its core. Committed to a theater making model that intentionally builds inclusive and empowered communities, the program cultivates an understanding of the personal, cultural and spiritual forces that shape society.

CTC’s musical experiences explore the theater’s power to impact diversity, to develop empathy and compassion for the human condition, and to allow us to learn from lives we’ve never lived.

CTC's mission is "Utilizing the power of theater as a tool for moral reasoning, the Children’s Theater Company is rooted in the belief that through the magic of theater youth can become the voices of positive change and agents of healing in their communities."

Mansuri and Doizer were in Jackson, Tennessee, during the week of March 6 through March 12, for a Jackson Theater Spring Break Camp at the Ned. Children in the camp performed at The Ned at the end of the week.
