Speaker, Pastor and National TV/Podcast Host Sam Collier Releases A GREATER STORY, Revealing His Journey From Poverty to Purpose Collier Reunited with Birth Family On “Steve Harvey Show”, Launching His Gripping Story of Hope Despite Adversity. Sam Collier didn’t have an easy start in life. When he and his twin sister were born, their biological mother gave them over to foster care, leaving them mistreated and rejected as infants. After being adopted by a loving family at an early age, Collier still felt that crucial pieces of his life were missing until he learned to lean on his faith. In 2014, with the help of The Steve Harvey Show, Sam and his twin sister were reunited with not only their birth mother, but also their three other siblings, confirming to Collier that God is the best author of our lives. Despite the splashy family reunion on a national television show, however, there is plenty more story to tell, revealed in Collier’s book in a winsome and warm way. In his deeply personal and universally relatable upcoming book, A Greater Story: My Rescue, Your Purpose, and Our Place in God’s Plan (August 2020, Baker Publishing Group), Collier tells the inspiring journey of his experiences of abandonment, sacrifice, rescue and gratitude that led him to discover his purpose and place in God’s plan. In the book, Collier shares that your purpose is wherever your passion, giftings and God’s provision intersect. “I’ve made my living telling people that despite what they believed their story was about abandonment, addiction, graduating from high school, getting a promotion, finding true love, being adopted, reconciling with a loved one, or getting fit in the gym—I believe it’s all a part of God’s plan,” writes Collier. “And that by deciding to connect with Him intentionally, meaningfully, and enthusiastically, they will find true purpose.” A Greater Story is full of reminders that God has a better plan for every single one of us. Collier intertwines Scripture and his personal experiences in a way that relates to each reader’s journey of finding their purpose. Whether in hard seasons or times of great triumph, readers can use the lessons in Collier’s new book to see how God is working in their lives. “I look back now and see that through every loss—my music ambitions, my ministry experiences, my nonprofit—God was there to spur me on, always prompting me to keep his main thing my main thing, instead of letting my will, my way, take control.” Collier’s perception of his success and failures has led him to recognize the greater story that can only be written by God. A Greater Story encourages readers to consider that while God’s plan may look different than we’d like at times, His story is always greater than the story we could write for ourselves.

Fresh off his Breakfast Club appearance after having “Lines Drawn” with help from Billboard and successfully migrating From The Hood To Harvard, NOLA native Dee-1 taps Soul singer/songwriter Raheem DeVaughn for “Purify My Eyes.” Continuing his theme of counter-culture centered messaging the timely track, which was produced by Anonymous, urges listeners to replace images of corruption and cynicism with lifegiving content to reprogram our thinking for the better.

“This is easily one the most important songs I have ever done because it provides Hip-Hop with a solution-based perspective meant to combat some of the problems we face as a culture. It’s honest, raw, and transparent. I’ve been friends with Raheem Devaughn for a long time, so to finally collaborate on a song feels great. When I played the record for him, he fell in love with it and instantly added his parts; which took the song to another level,” say’s the David Found His Slingshot author in a exclusive statement to Medium Creative Agency.

Award-winning rapper. educator, host, activist, business owner, and keynote speaker are synonymous with Louisiana’s Dee-1. The Nasir “Nas” Jones Hip Hop Fellow at Harvard University is a Billboard Top 10 charting, game-changing MC with a persona to match his penmanship. He’s transitioned from being a middle school math teacher in The Boot to a Hip-Hop heavyweight with much more to accomplish. He has released 10 albums and 21 projects thus far in his career.

Dee-1’s music is part of a bigger lifestyle movement called Mission Vision, which centers around three core principles: Be Real. Be Righteous. Be Relevant. In 2020, Dee received the prestigious NAACP “Power of Influence Award,” highlighting his community activism and commitment to inspiring the youth. In 2021, he was nominated for an Emmy Award for his work on “The Manhattan Project,” but he lost to Michelle Obama. Later that year, Dee was appointed to the “Louisiana Council for the Success of Black Men and Boys” by Governor John Bel Edwards, making him the first rapper in Louisiana history to become a governor’s appointee.

After addressing critics and fans alike in the official music video for the Danny Beats-produced single for “Lines Drawn” and following his viral interview on Sway In The Morning centered around industry hypocrisy, Emmy-nominated educator turned entertainer Dee-1 released his latest project to date From The Hood To Harvard. The 8-track body of work includes guest features from Skyy Brooks as well as P3RK and is anchored by supporting records “Impostor Syndrome” & “Dr. Freshh.”
