From Hardship to Hope: Sheila Kay's Journey Inspires 'Our Stories'

#TheDayWithTrae - Sheila Kay, founder of Inspirational Productions, recently shared updates on her artistic endeavors and upcoming events on “The Day With Trae” with guest host Alicia Crank. After a busy summer performing in tribute shows for artists like Erykah Badu and Sade, Kay is now focusing on a special edition of her event "Our Stories." This event aims to uplift the community by featuring personal narratives and musical performances from individuals who have overcome significant obstacles in their lives. 

The upcoming "Our Stories" event, happening this Saturday at the Royal Room, will feature La Tanya Horace, a co-founder of Sisters Rock the Arts and founder of the Silent Task Force, a nonprofit supporting the community. Also performing are Jamal “Roc Phizzle” Robinson, a member of the group Lakeside, and Brittany Davis, a blind vocalist and songwriter. Kay expressed particular excitement about this show, stating, "I know these people a little more personally... I'm proud of them and I'm just excited to have them be a part of this. So it's more like family."

Kay also recounted her personal journey, explaining that much of her drive was born out of a period of hardship during COVID-19. After losing her job and experiencing a severe car accident, she found inspiration in the stories of people like Oprah, Steve Harvey, and Tyler Perry who overcame great obstacles themselves. This led her to realize her calling: to create a platform for human stories that inspire and motivate. She emphasized that these are not fictional tales but real-life experiences shared by courageous individuals, designed to provide hope and encouragement to the community.

The upcoming “Our Stories” show is happening this Saturday, September 27 at 8PM. You can buy tickets at theroyalroomseattle.com. In addition, Kay is participating in a "Ladies in Blues" concert at The Royal Room on October 2nd. More information can be found on her website, inspirationalproductions.net.
