Angel Street: Empowering Memphis Girls
I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Jill Dyson on my podcast, Coffee with Conrad. Jill is an accomplished singer-songwriter from Memphis with a passion for faith, family, music and philanthropy.
During our conversation, Jill shared how her song "Carry the Light" was inspired by Philippians 2:15 and encapsulates her mission to bring hope and the love of Jesus to the city of Memphis, especially through her involvement with Angel Street Ministry.
Angel Street Ministry focuses on mentoring and empowering young girls in some of the poorest neighborhoods of North Memphis. Jill explained how it started with leading a children's choir for a women's ministry Christmas event. The girls were so engaged and excited that it grew into an ongoing program providing music education, mentoring, and connecting the girls to opportunities to develop their talents and leadership potential.
Jill shared moving stories of the transformative impact Angel Street has had on girls in the program, like Jasmine and Terrian, who have blossomed into confident young leaders. Jill's love for Memphis and its people shines through. As she put it, "I can be a part of their lives and have a lifelong journey with them where we become family, we become friends."
My biggest takeaway from this inspiring interview is that one person, fueled by faith and compassion, can make a profound difference in a community. Jill Dyson is a shining example of what it means to "carry the light" and spread hope, one life at a time. I encourage you to learn more about Jill's music and Angel Street Ministry at JillDyson.com.
