David “Messiah” Stamps is a 56-year-old, LGBTQ+ icon, Black, Different-abled Veteran Artist w/ PTSD.   David’s a 2024 Office Hours Resident for Social and Cultural Impact at The Kennedy Center, due to the social impact of his award-winning (chosen as a finalist for AITAF Bridge Award by Pulitzer Prize winner, Paula Vogel) entitled,” The Black Bullet Dichotomy Aka The BBD.” It dramatically decreases the number of unarmed Black men shot and killed in America.   In the 80s, at the Golden Age of Hip Hop, at 13 years of age, David taught billions of people about Unconditional love on a radio segment on the Frankie Crocker show on WBLS called,” On the phone.”   Mr. Crouch, a dominant-culture teacher at David’s high school, was taking advantage of his classmates, a vulnerable minority population. Stamps used his global platform to have him removed. Two students, no longer being touched inappropriately, led his high school, Flint Northwestern, to back-to-back Boys State Basketball championships from 1983-85. Hence, the title, Messiah.   As an award-winning Writer/Producer of the BBD, a choreopoem, (Think “For Colored Girls by Ntozake Shange”, is the pilot project from his Anthology Series – THE OTHER SIDE – where Conscious Hip Hop meets The Twilight Zone. In association with his nonprofit, THE VETERAN ARTIST ADVOCACY PROJECT, he’s producing a STAGED READING of the screenplay version of the BBD, as a SECTION 8 CREATIVE RESIDENCY the first week of BLACK HISTORY MONTH, 2025. Exact date TBA.   Why?   In 2022, Paula Vogel chose the BBD as The Winner of the AITAF Bridge Award Competition but Adam Driver, Co-founder of AITAF, forced her to choose another play. This unfair decision cost David $10,000, a staged reading at The Public Theatre, and direction under Patricia McGregor, the Artistic Director of TNYTW.   David has created, from inception to completion, multiple high concept screenplays, plays, and TV episodes, and webisodes based on this Intellectual Property. Well-crafted and deeply ironic morality plays infused with his award-winning original poetry and song.   A new sub-genre he created, HIP HOP HORROR.   I’m the Artist-In-Residence, for Senator Leroy Comrie’s Veteran’s Advisory Board, in St. Albans, Queens.

Tayler has been working as a fitness trainer for years, helping clients get their desired results through exercise and strategic macronutrient structure, but her passion and impact skyrocketed after she was forced to dig deeper due to various health battles of her own.   These battles included hypothyroidism, metabolic dysfunction, severe gut issues, anxiety, weight gain, and infertility. When symptoms became debilitating and she finally sought help, she was offered no solution or insight into possible causes. It was implied that these were just the cards she was dealt and her best option was medication to manage the symptoms.   Tayler knew there had to be a different route that could bring her both relief and healing. So, she went back to school to study integrative nutrition and health from a multidimensional lens. She set out on a journey to heal her metabolism after learning its profound impact on each of the battles she was facing. She didn’t dive into any elimination diets or protocols, but healed naturally by getting back to her roots and learning how to nourish her body (on & off of the plate) in a way that worked with God’s design for her body.   She has now overcome every single one of those challenges. She enjoys her life while maintaining an energetic and healthy body that she is confident in. She regained a regular and pain-free cycle, successfully conceived for the first time, and had the most amazing pregnancy.   This freedom that Tayler found propelled her down a new path with her career and she has now helped countless women see these same breakthroughs. She has developed her own women’s health course “Freedom Foundations” to teach women how to confidently make shifts in their nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle based on the communication that their body is giving them. She also works 1 on 1 with clients through personalized fitness & nutrition plans and creates eBooks on various topics such as home cooking, exercise, nutrition, & nourishment off of the plate.

She didn’t dive into any elimination diets or protocols, but healed naturally by getting back to her roots and learning how to nourish her body (on & off of the plate) in a way that worked with God’s design for her body. She has now overcome every single one of those challenges. She enjoys her life while maintaining an energetic and healthy body that she is confident in. She regained a regular and pain-free cycle, successfully conceived for the first time, and had the most amazing pregnancy. This freedom that Tayler found propelled her down a new path with her career and she has now helped countless women see these same breakthroughs. She has developed her own women’s health course “Freedom Foundations” to teach women how to confidently make shifts in their nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle based on the communication that their body is giving them. She also works 1 on 1 with clients through personalized fitness & nutrition plans and creates eBooks on various topics such as home cooking, exercise, nutrition, & nourishment off of the plate.
