A2H #19 | From Grief to Abundance: Chris Siders' Journey through Loss and Transformation

Art 2 Heart

In this deeply moving episode, we hear from Chris Siders, an LA-based poet, music producer, and activist. Chris shares his experience about dealing with loss, grief, struggles with his health, and how these experiences have been the fuel to produce multiple albums in such a short amount of time. From his near-death experience and battles with mental health to losing so many close family members, including his father, Chris walks us through his grief-stricken, heart-opening journey that ultimately led him to discover the true nature of abundance in life.
Through the content of his work, award-winning Los Angeles-based Poet, Music Producer, and Activist, Christopher Siders, encourages his audience members to think critically about social norms and how we subconsciously affect one another through our everyday behaviors. Within his own experiences as an activist, he is able to share his successes and failures and guide future activists at any institution, to make positive decisions for the community to flourish and teach students to become a better ally for movements or areas of interest. Siders professionally performed alongside poets such as Rudy Francisco, Shihan The Poet, Ebony Stewart, and has graced stages such as Dominican University, Seaside High School, Beyond Baroque, and many more.
