A Life in Six Songs

Send us a text

On this episode, we sit down with Marissa Huber-East, a creative soul, devoted mom, and connector of people and ideas from South Florida, and explore the songs that have been part of her journey. From the soothing lullabies of "Rainbow Connection" sung during childhood bedtime rituals to the socio-political anthems of Tupac Shakur, Marissa opens up about her relationship with music as a backdrop to her memories and a bridge to deeper connections with others. We uncover how music has been a constant companion in her artistic and familial bonds. Marissa shares her grief and the cathartic power of songs like David Bowie's "Heroes" in processing the personal loss of her brother. Tune in to hear how music not only encapsulates complex emotions but also offers solace and hope during life's most challenging moments. Pull up a folding chair, grab a drink, find a spot “around the fire,” and enjoy the conversation and community.
