What does it take to portray a real person who is still living?

This week on I Am Redemption, we sit down with stage and screen actor Morgana Shaw, who portrays my mother, Marcia Livingston, in the upcoming feature film Price of Redemption

Morgana shares what it was like preparing for one of the most unique roles of her career, stepping into the life of someone whose story is real, whose family is real, and who would ultimately watch her performance on screen. We dive into the emotional responsibility of portraying a true story, her creative process as an actor, and the challenges of bringing authenticity to a role rooted in real life

Beyond the film, Morgana opens up about her own journey through adversity, building a career in acting, navigating life as a woman and mother, and the resilience it takes to pursue your purpose

Whether you're passionate about filmmaking, acting, true stories, personal growth, mental health, or overcoming adversity, this conversation offers a rare look behind the scenes of bringing redemption to life on screen

Despite the Jenning's last name, he earned his own story

This is The Real Struggle

Struggle Jennings is this week's guest on the I Am Redemption

Struggle had just rolled into Austin while on his Last Name Tour when we sat down and hit record

We talked about what life was really like growing up in the streets, getting involved in gangs, addiction, prison, and the road that eventually led him to redemption

We also discussed what it means to carry one of the most recognizable names in country music

Taking on the Jennings name comes with expectations, pressure, and a legacy that few people can truly understand

We spoke about becoming one of the pioneers of the country rap movement, building a career as an independent artist, life on the road, fatherhood, and welcoming a new baby girl into the world

Most importantly, we talked about redemption

What it looks like, what it costs, and why it's worth fighting for

If you've ever felt like your past was trying to define your future, this episode is for you
