Virginia Githiri wears so many different professional hats in her daily life, it’s not hard to fathom that writing inspirational gospel songs is something she does in her sleep. “I’m not one of those songwriters that can just sit at my piano and just write,” she says. “Most of the new ideas that I get literally come to me when I’m in deep, deep sleep.”
Apart from writing and recording music, Githiri “Dr. G” is a lecturer in applied health science at the Indiana University School of Public Health, an integrative wellness life and health coach, and the owner of PopKorn! Kernals with a Twist a gourmet popcorn shop that has survived the strain on small, local businesses presented by the pandemic.

On Friday, March 5 at 7:30 p.m., Congregation Beth Shalom will hold a special Refugee Shabbat via Zoom.
The Refugee Shabbat is sponsored by the Hebrew Immigration Aid Society (HIAS), an organization that was founded to help rescue Jews in Eastern Europe in the late 1800s. The organization later evolved to help Jewish people during the Holocaust.
HIAS has long had an office at Ellis Island, where the organization now helps refugees and asylum seekers of all faiths with legal assistance, clothing, shelter, language skills, cultural adjustment, and more.
