In this powerful episode of For A Reason, host Kenny Tenny sits down with his childhood friend Thomas Cotton for an honest and deeply personal conversation about where he came from, the choices he made, incarceration, faith, redemption, and the purpose he discovered on the other side of his past.

Thomas doesn't just talk about his transformation—he has spent nearly 30 years helping others transform their lives and communities.

Today, Thomas Cotton is an entrepreneurial polymath, urban missionary, strategist, and innovator whose work brings together lived experience, faith, community development, public health, research, and entrepreneurship.

He is the founder of Redemption & Advancement Alliance and Next Level Freedom, LLC, and initiated the New G Movement, an effort focused on transforming gangs and communities from within. He is also the author of New G Mentality, a blueprint for leadership, personal growth, and gang redevelopment.

And sometimes, the person who has been furthest from where they need to be can become the person who helps others find their way.

In the Season 2 premiere of the For a Reason Podcast, we welcome back writer, storyteller, teacher, and lifelong creative Stacie Craig for a deeply personal conversation about life, loss, identity, and finding your way back to yourself.

Stacie was born to write. Literally.

Her first novel, All About Stacie, was written at age six. By seven, she had written, directed, and starred in her own play, Magic Shoes. Years later, after earning an MFA in playwriting from Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Stacie returned to Los Angeles with dreams of breaking into television.

She worked throughout Hollywood, gaining experience in casting, art, production, and writers' rooms while pursuing the one position she never quite landed: staff writer.

Then life changed.

After becoming a mother, Stacie stepped away from Hollywood and became a public school teacher in South Central Los Angeles. But the writer in her never disappeared. Between lesson plans, family responsibilities, and everyday life, she continued creating stories and developing original television projects.

In this episode, however, the conversation goes far beyond Hollywood.

Stacie opens up about losing her mother to cancer, the impact that loss had on her life, and what it took to begin finding herself again. We explore what happens when grief changes your sense of identity, how life can pull us away from the things that once made us feel alive, and what it means to reconnect with the person you were always meant to become.

We also dive into Stacie's passion for writing for Hollywood and her determination to tell stories that combine sharp humor with genuine emotion. She shares what she has been creating, including original pilots such as Straight A+Holes, Super Single, and My Boyfriend's a Vampire, and why storytelling remains such an important part of who she is.

This is a conversation about grief—but it isn't defined by grief.

It's about rediscovery.

It's about identity.

It's about pursuing the things that still matter when life doesn't go according to plan.

And ultimately, it's about asking a question that may resonate with all of us:

When life changes you, can you find your way back to yourself?

Welcome back to For a Reason.

The clash between her newfound faith and the spiritual practices of her family sets the stage for a gripping spiritual warfare. Cenia's transformation becomes a battleground, where her unwavering belief in Christ stands in stark contrast to the ancestral traditions that once defined her identity.

In this episode, you'll witness the raw and emotional struggle that Cenia endured as she navigated the treacherous waters of her past and sought to align her life with her newfound convictions. Her story is a testament to the power of faith, resilience, and the human spirit's capacity for transformation.

In this thought-provoking installment, we delve deep into the mesmerizing life story of our guest, Cenia Rivas.

 

Join us for an enthralling conversation that spans a lifetime of spiritual exploration and transformation. Cenia's story is a tapestry woven from the threads of two distinct worlds: the rural countryside region of the Dominican Republic and the intricate web of spirituality that defined her upbringing.

 

Raised by a father who practiced both Voodoo and Santeria, and with a grandmother who stood as a renowned Voodoo priestess, Cenia's early years were a journey through the mystical realms of these ancient traditions. In Episode 9, Cenia opens up about her formative years, painting a vivid picture of the mystical rituals, incantations, and secrets surrounding her upbringing.

She shares tales of the dark covenants, the potent spells, and the connection to the unseen world that permeated every aspect of her life. But Cenia's story takes a profound twist as she embarks on a journey of her own toward Jesus and redemption. The clash between her newfound faith and the spiritual practices of her family sets the stage for a gripping spiritual warfare. Cenia's transformation becomes a battleground, where her unwavering belief in Christ stands in stark contrast to the ancestral traditions that once defined her identity. In this episode, you'll witness the raw and emotional struggle that Cenia endured as she navigated the treacherous waters of her past and sought to align her life with her newfound convictions. Her story is a testament to the power of faith, resilience, and the human spirit's capacity for transformation.

Prepare to be spellbound by Cenia Rivas' incredible journey, as she shares the remarkable experiences that have shaped her life, from the depths of Voodoo and Santeria to the triumphant embrace of Jesus as her Lord and Savior.
