 Pierre Showalter aka “Big Pop” is a country-grown, cornbread-fed, can’t get-out-the bed, drank like Ned, now has a clear head (A BIG one:) fun-loving guy from Roanoke, Virginia. 

Being encouraged to do a Vegan Challenge by his God-niece (forced if you ask him), who follows Tabitha Brown, Pierre finally understood the “big deal” surrounding plant-based lifestyles. “Your brain/body unhealthy really looks and works differently than when your brain/body is on Vegan Food.” 

He will help you "let laughter be your medicine" as he shares some experiences in his life and a testimony about how he survived some serious addictions.

Dom Rafael Rodriguez aka DJ SHANGO of The Organic Mindz Tribe brings indigenous vibrations to uplift, enlighten and open the chakras through the sounds of AFRO beat drums, Latin and world music. 

 DJ Shango’s vision is to bring everyone together through ART & MUSIC. Utilizing ancient shaman techniques with futuristic technology he is continuing to create a Playlist Of Ascension. A combination of these tools helps activate and remind our audience of self(mind, body & spirit). The intention of doing this is to help build up self - confidence and self - love through expression. Shango’s ancient futuristic art form creates a constant flow of physical and ethereal release within the audience, purposefully increasing the power and influence of the healing energy directed toward the crowd each event.
