Mt. Sophia Ideas

Winter is a time of reflection.

Let’s reflect a while on “culture changing”.

Mt. Sophia is all about helping our students maximize their potentials so that they can change the culture.

Through the winter, I will present pictures of Mt. Sophia folks who are engaged in culture changing.

Joanna Tillman graduated from Mt. Sophia and Carson-Newman College. At CNC, she double majored in photography and art. She also worked with Appalachian Outreach, first learning home repair and rebuilding skills, then taking teams out to make homes safe for the poor in Appalachian Tennessee.

Joanna now teaches art and home maintenance at Elijah School, giving skills to students who learn best in nontraditional ways. Mt. Sophia students are learning their artistic potentials under her guidance, also. Our students at both schools are learning to find and express themselves- empowerment to become culture changers themselves. (Note the plywood in the back of the car- on its way to Elijah School to become one home-maintenance project for the students.)

Joanna and a team of her music industry friends are culture changing in music, also. They started a website that gives free weekly downloads of songs from up-and-coming indie groups from around the world.  Look for holidayrecords.net
