Every Wednesday morning at 8:30 CST, our Morning Show connects with experts and local personalities for some real talk about keeping our minds and bodies healthy — from staying safe in the music scene, to exercising during a pandemic, to voting and civic engagement. Looking for more resources and support? Visit our friends at Call to Mind, MPR's initiative to foster new conversations about mental health.
Today, Sean McPherson — stepping in for Jill Riley — speaks with Chance York, who The Current listeners know as a local rapper. In their conversation, the artist talks about his work in wellness.
Now, Chance, I've known you personally as a very, very talented emcee for years and years in the Twin Cities. Thanks to social media, I was aware you were involved in the wide world of wellness. I remember seeing Big Zach and you doing yoga in a video at some point, but to be honest I had not thought deeply about that part of your career. I did a little bit of research, and I see that wellness, yoga, and more are kind of at the center of your life — both for yourself, and also with work you're doing at the YMCA for the George Wellbeing Program. That's wonderful. Is that at the center of what you've been up to right now?
