Good evening, friends.

Welcome to "Vibe 309" and I am your host Blake Wirth coming at you from the WTVP studio once again in front of a great crowd.

Can you hear them?

Can you hear them?

(audience cheering) (audience applauding) I love it, I love it.

You guys know those people who kind of just light up a room?

They walk in with their big smile, infectious energy and just seem to elevate the vibes?

Our first guest tonight is absolutely one of those people.

A big personality, an even bigger heart, a great wardrobe and a fascinating story.

She's an actress, a singer, a director, producer, community role model, and the co-founder and CEO of ART Inc.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Nikki Romain.

(audience cheering) (audience applauding) Welcome.

How are you?

- What's up?

- Incredible.

- I'm good.

- I love your earrings, love those earrings.

Whoo, you look splendid.

Thank you for joining us.

- Thank you.

You mentioned the earrings, this is actually a local lady.

- Who made 'em?

- I can't remember her name.

- Okay, well, not gonna help her business, but she does great work.

- But After Our Creation?

I think that's it.

- Do you think I could pull those off?

- I mean, anything's possible, so.

- I had my ear pierced, I think I was 16 in high school for like two days and I got told to take it out.

But anyway, thanks for joining us.

Who do we have in the crowd tonight from your family here?

- We have ART Inc.

in the house.

- [Audience] Whoo, whoo!

- Whoo, whoo!

- Give it up.

- Whoo, whoo!

ART Inc.

- We have Kennedy Romain in the house, whoo, whoo, that's our daughter.

- That is your daughter, hey Kennedy.

- And Jonathon Romain.

- That's your husband, Jonathon.

- We've got Pastor Deveraux Hubbard and his wife, lovely first lady, Kristie Hubbard in the house.

- Unbelievable, unbelievable.

- I also see Steve Thompson in the house.

- Easter Seal, shout out.

- Easter Seal.

- We got a full house tonight.

Great energy for great people, just a little teaser.

Don't go anywhere because Jonathon Romain will be the second guest in this episode, so do not touch that dial.

Okay, Nikki, if I didn't know you or if I didn't do a ridiculous amount of research on you, which I did both, I would think you're from Peoria.

You're in the community, you're everywhere, you're contributing in a number of ways, but you are not from Peoria.

- I am not.

I am what I call a Midwest girl with a southern twist.

So I was raised, you're like, what?

So I was born in Chicago, but I was raised in Chicago, Atlanta and Dallas.

So I changed schools every year from second grade to my sophomore year in high school.

I was moving around between those three states.

- I read you had a nomadic upbringing, you call it.

- Very nomadic, very nomadic.

- You were the new kid a lot.

- Every year.

- And is that how you got into performing and is that your- - Oh gosh, that's a long story.

So my parents got divorced when I was two.

They're both from Chicago and they moved to Atlanta together.

Then they got divorced, my mom moved back to Chicago and then between there, they just started migrating between those cities.

So I would visit my dad in the summers and back and forth.

I didn't get into theater until my sophomore year in high school and it was a choir teacher, I love to sing, that was like my thing, I love to sing and I had a pretty traumatic upbringing, right?

So things happened and music was my escape.

So when I was in my sophomore year in high school, I just moved from Chicago to Aurora and new girl again.

- Sure.

- My mom was in her, well, it wasn't a marriage, but she was in another relationship.

And, again, I just used music as my escape.

So choir teacher, I'm going out and, mind you, I'm new to this school.

So she comes up and she's like, "I want you to audition for the musical this year."

- [Blake] She had heard you sing though.

- Yeah, yeah, because I was in choir.

- In the choir, right, yeah.

So she was my choir teacher and I'm like, "Musicals?

Nah, I'm good, that's kind of cheesy."

- You thought you were too cool for it.

- Oh yeah, way too cool, way too cool.

So I was like, "Yeah, no, I'm good."

And she's like, "Whatever, I will see you at three o'clock."

So I was like, "Okay."

I showed up at three o'clock.

The musical was "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat."

- Classic.

- I didn't know about Joseph and his stupid coat, I didn't care.

So I was like, "All right."

I sang and I did my thing and then I got the part of the narrator, which was split between two other girls, but that's like a lead role.

So I'm like, "Okay, this is pretty interesting."

So then we go on and we do all the rehearsals.

And when I stepped on stage, I was like, "This is it, this is what I wanna do for the rest of my life."

- You knew?

- Oh yeah.

- You knew right away.

- Absolutely.

- Okay, and you eventually found your way to Peoria, but you found your way to Peoria because of love.

- Yes, because of love.

- Talk me through that.

- (laughs) So okay, whoo, where do I start, right?

- At the good part.

- Because there's so much in between there, I mean, yeah.

So I grew up, I went to college, I graduated with my theater degree, and I went off to LA at 19, packed my bags, didn't know anyone.

And anyway, spent a lot of time in LA.

And then I come back to Chicago, my mom had lupus and I was at home, trying to help take care of my mom and do other things.

And so, I go to this art show in Chicago.

There's this guy there and I wander into his booth and he's got really dope art.

I'm like, you know, "Okay, I'm feeling this art."

And I was actually pitching my one woman show to him, I had just written a one woman show.

So I'm like, he was talking about a jazz band that he wanted to bring there.

And I was like, "Do you only bring jazz bands?

Because I got this one woman show that's pretty hot.

I think you might want it in your gallery, right?"

And so, he's like, "Okay, lady.

(laughs) Sure, okay."

Then my boyfriend comes in.

- Whoa.

- Mm-hm, my boyfriend comes in and we're all just sitting there, we're chopping it up and just loving it up, talking, because he was a filmmaker.

So we're chopping it up and talking about the arts and stuff like that.

So then I follow up with him, "Hey, remember the lady from the show?

I'd love to come talk to you about doing my one woman show at your gallery."

Long story short, I actually came out to view the jazz band that was at his gallery.

And from that moment on, we have not been disconnected since that moment.

- You were into him.

- No!

- That's why you went to check out the jazz band, come on!

- You sound like him, no!

- Ah, I don't buy it.

- I totally, I was trying to pitch my show, okay?

- I don't buy it.

We gotta fast forward, I wish we had a three hour special for you guys.

You deserve it.

- Jonathon will love that you said that by the way.

- He does, I saw him nodding, I'm looking at him.

ART Inc.

a great, great nonprofit.

I love the mission behind it.

Can you real quickly in 90 seconds kind of tell the people what ART Inc.

is all about and up till this point right now, the vision?

- Absolutely.

So ART Inc.

is basically Jonathon and I, I am a performing artist, he is a visual artist coming together.

And because we were both saved by the arts, we said, "What can we do to make an impact, a sustainable impact in our community here in Peoria?

This is our home.

What can we do to make a sustainable impact?

And what can we do to change the mindset of people?

What can we do to change?"

There was an article that came out that Peoria was the worst place for blacks, in Peoria.

What can we do to change that, right?

So we came together, Jonathon saw Greeley School, sat out there, totally did the secret visioning everything, right?

And he came home and he's like, "Hey, you wanna buy a school building?"

I'm like, "Yeah, let's do it."

- [Blake] Just like that?

- Just like that.

And so we came up, we had a completely different vision.

- [Blake] What year is this?

- This is 20, oh gosh.

So maybe 2016 that he does that.

Then we had to court the school district because we had to buy the school from the school district and that we did with our own money.

So we put down $30,000 on the building of our own money.

And then, again, that took a while too.

So by 2018, we closed on the building and then we spent that next year renovating and doing all, I was at home, he was renovating, I was doing all the legalities and building the board and doing all the administrative stuff, but I wasn't in the building because there were bats in there.

So I was like, "I'm good."

- Don't wanna deal with bats.

- Jonathon was in there getting it all together.

He was doing the grunt work, okay?

- [Blake] Yeah, yeah.

- So he's the visionary, he's doing the grunt work.

I'm at home trying to get funding and all these types of things.

But you don't get funding in the beginning because you don't have anything to show for yourself, right?

So anyway, so we came up with ART Inc., which is short for Artists Re-envisioning Tomorrow.

And our mission is to inspire and empower the community through arts, education, and culture.

- [Blake] It's amazing.

- So we built that and now we have wonderful staff here.

It's not just Jonathon and I, and we've grown from us putting our own money in there to a $2.2 million budget.

- It's incredible, truly, like you and Jonathon have done an amazing job.

I love ART Inc.

We didn't get a chance to talk about That's What She Said, which is also something you do.

- It is amazing.

- We are going to go ahead right now.

We got to go take a vibe check break.

The Toddfather and I recently went to GO DAY, which is down in the Peoria Riverfront.

You got sports, you got arts, you got community, you got food, music.

It's a vibe, but don't take my word for it.

See for yourself, go ahead and run it.

- [Radio] Whiskey Tango Victor Papa, you're clear to land.

- Roger that.

Toddfather, can you believe they're letting us fly this thing?

- [Todd] I can't, just keep your eyes on it.

- I will, I will.

Coming up on GO DAY here, folks, we're going down, we're 500 feet, descending down.

We're coming down on sports, arts, community, music.

You don't want to miss it, folks, so go ahead.

We're gonna show you the vibes, we'll see you down there.

I can't believe I actually landed that thing.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to GO DAY.

Now that we are here on the ground, it is time to go have some fun.

Toddfather, what do you say?

Let's go.

(upbeat music) Allison Kieser everybody, talk to us, please explain the vibes here today.

- Yes, okay, well, the vibes are immaculate here because we have the most perfect day down on the waterfront here and we're excited to be on the riverfront for GO DAY, which our team is so thrilled to be a part of.

Choose Greater Peoria really worked so hard to put this event together and partnering with the Big Picture Street Festival, we have art, we have sports, we have all the fun things that you can think of, a helicopter, I mean, you name it, it's here.

- I actually kind of got choked up as I was walking down here because this is free for everyone and you have families from all over the region.

You can get into art, you can do sports, you can listen to music, you can check out a Chinese dragon boat.

You've got free admission to the Cat Visitor Center and free admission to the Peoria Riverfront Museum.

So there is truly something for everyone.

And there's a big bar right there in the middle, the parents need a refreshment.

- Oh, this is a great event, so much fantastic energy.

We couldn't have asked for a better day to be outside and enjoy a lot of what Peoria has to offer.

- Not every community can say they have opportunities to come out here for free and participate, meet people, get their kids introduced to the community as well.

So it's just really a blessing to have these opportunities.

- They said at 12:30, this thing's going up in the air and everyone can jump out with a parachute if they want, but they have to have their parents' consent.

- I'm from Connecticut, I love it, it reminds me a lot of back home and everyone in the community come together.

It's nice to be back.

Last year we did the same thing, loved it, love coming back here, do it again.

- The vibe is amazing.

There's so much energy, so much to do.

Food, bounce houses, I mean, an amazing helicopter.

It's fabulous.

- I actually landed that in here.

- Wow, you really can do it all.

- So, two ladies, young ladies, who are not from here, give me your first impressions of Peoria and this event.

- Hey, this is a wonderful venue.

You've got so much room.

The river's gorgeous, you have wide open space, free parking, and I hope this can continue to be an annual thing.

- I've been to Peoria multiple times playing rugby with my son, various other sports, it is the place to be for outdoor activities.

- Any of your friends that aren't here right now, what would you tell them if you got on FaceTime?

- I think I would tell them, hey, they don't know much about Peoria, I'm from California, so, I mean, I would immediately show them the bridge and then show them around and what Peoria has to offer.

- We have Mirandas, we have Brick and Ember, we have Tin Roof, we have HISRA, we have the National Guard.

We have so many people here.

Peoria Playhouse, the Riverman, you name it, they're here, and so many artists are here as well.

So the beautiful mix of art, meeting sports, and how our community is the heart of all of that and how we have a little bit of everything for everyone.

- You're amazing, thank you so much.

- We are the... - [Both] Greater Chicago Dragon Bowl Club, the Chicago Blades and we cut you up.

(people cheering) (audience cheering) - Thank you.

Gotta love GO DAY, man, I love GO DAY.

I had a blast, obviously.

Okay, thank you very much.

Our next guest has quite the story.

Just weeks after graduating from Bradley University, his life took a turn that landed him in prison, and it was there that he discovered a talent that would completely change the course of his life.

Today, he's a nationally recognized artist whose work has been seen and celebrated across this great nation.

He's also the co-founder of ART Inc.

He's also her husband, and he's the reason I'm wearing this Richard Pryor shirt right now, which we'll get into in just a moment.

But, first, please welcome Jonathon Romain.

(audience cheering) (audience applauding) - Well, hello handsome.

(both laughing) - How you doing, brother?

Thank you so much, thank you for being here.

- My pleasure.

- We wanna start with the shirt because if you guys have been to the Peoria Riverfront Museum, you've seen the unbelievable portrayal of Richard Pryor, but there's a lot that goes into it.

There's a lot of intentionality.

It's not just Richard Pryor, the comedian.

- Right, right.

So I was first honored to have the privilege of recreating his image for an organization as significant as the Peoria Riverfront Museum.

And when I did the piece, the reason it was particularly significant for me is because if you looked at Richard's life, where he came from and how he overcame so many obstacles, it paralleled my life.

And to be able to represent that because of the path that I live made it extra special for me.

- And you've gotten to know a lot of his family.

Did you get to meet some of his family through the process?

- Yeah, well, I'd already known his son for years.

- [Blake] Okay.

- I just met one of his daughters recently when she was in town.

- Wow.

- Yeah, that was cool.

- Are you working on anything special right now?

Is there anything you can tease that you're working on?

Anything big?

- It wouldn't be significant to Peoria.

(laughs) - Okay.

- I'm doing something for a lot of places, but.

- Okay.

- But it's not here, yeah.

- You get commissioned around the country then too?

- I do.

- Wow, so you travel quite a bit or you do the work here?

- I do the work here and then I take it wherever I got to go.

- Wow.

Okay, so you brought Nikki Romain to Peoria.

Thank you very much for doing that.

- I did, I did, I did.

- Then you guys, he did do that.

I read something that, this was before ART Inc.

even got stood up, a reporter asked you guys both individually what you would do if you each had a million dollars.

I think you guys had the same exact answer, which was build a community center, I think.

- [Jonathon] Right, right.

- And you did it, by the way.

Can we give it up for them, by the way?

(audience cheering) They did it.

They talked the talk.

We got cut off because we had to go to the vibe check.

I want to give you guys a chance to talk about some of the programs you guys have at ART Inc.

- So it has evolved over the years into more of a wraparound facility.

And when we started, we primarily dealt with young kids from first grade to eighth grade.

And then our operations director came in and said we need to do a violence prevention type of program.

And I was like, "I don't know if we have the capacity to do that.

I don't know if that's in our wheelhouse."

And then she just gently reminded me that we were already doing it.

Many of the kids that we deal with, they're coming to our center with all of these traumas anyway.

Mom is in jail, dad is on drugs, brother just got killed.

So we're dealing with that element anyway, so why not just extend it and deal with the entire family?

And so, now, aside from the ASALA program, which is the After School Leadership Academy, we also do a Pathways program and we do a Solve program, which is dealing with victims of violence and perpetrators of violence because, today, you could be a victim, tomorrow, you're the perpetrator.

- [Blake] Sure.

- And then, Pathways actually helps the 15 to 24 year olds get into college or a career.

- [Blake] Okay.

- And so, we discovered that with one of our programs that that is a path that they need.

So we also are a trauma-informed center, we have an onsite counselor and we have a GED program.

- No kidding, one more time, could we?

One more time.

(audience cheering) (audience applauding) That's unbelievable.

How many children, how many kids or young adults do you guys have in your mentorship that you look after?

- Go ahead.

- No, you go ahead.

- It fluctuates.

At our peak, we were having like 150, 60 kids a day.

And depending on the grants, it fluctuates anywhere from 60, 70 kids a day to 150 a day.

- Are you open every day?

- [Jonathon] Monday through Friday.

- Monday through Friday, what time?

- And then we have special things that we do on the weekend.

- 2:30 to 6:00 PM.

- Yeah.

We have an Empower Our Girls program and the Save Our Sons program.

- [Nikki] Which is Saturdays.

- [Blake] And That's What She Said.

- And That's What She Said.

- Can we real quickly tell the people that's not just a joke from "The Office?"

It's an actual incredible event and I've been a few times, please explain it.

- So I kind of coined it as TED Talks meets "Vagina Monologues," right?

- That's how I say it.

- Yeah, exactly.

And so, it's women here in Peoria, (laughs) it's women that we know and we love and they're telling these stories, these intimate, funny, crazy, heartbreaking stories about their lives.

And they're not talking about work, they're talking about literally their lives.

And we're getting to know those things about those women that we can relate to.

So it's an amazing show.

I pour my heart into it every year, produced and directed, but it is not mine.

There is Jenette Jurczyk is the national director and it started in Champaign and it's now across the country.

- Yeah, and I'll say, I've been lucky enough to come a few years and it's a vulnerable process.

- [Nikki] It is.

- From what I understand.

- It is very.

- And it's a strenuous process.

- It is.

- It's weeks of meeting and crafting your story.

And like you said, some of these stories are incredible and heartbreaking and joy.

I mean, they're across the board, every spectrum of emotion.

So thank you for bringing that to Peoria.

It's one of my favorite events to attend.

- Wonderful.

- Okay, I wanna transition because we are in a TV studio.

We got the lights, the cameras.

You guys are opening something I hear through the grapevine, a production studio.

Talk to me about this.

- So we just acquired the old Ashley Furniture Store that was across the street from UFS.

- [Blake] Okay.

- We're going to put a production studio and it's going to be public facing, which means basically it's going to be accessible to anybody in the public and it's going to be affordable.

So for content creators of all types, of all walks, they'll have a place where they can come in and they can just really explore the depths of their creativity and talents because they'll have a place where they can do it.

- Is this membership based or is this you just- - No, it'll be a fee based, but it'd be a nominal fee.

- [Blake] Yeah.

- And I anticipate people coming literally from all over the state because it will be that accessible.

- That's the goal, the vision?

- That's the goal.

- Along with workforce development for our own students and our own kids that we work with, helping them experience all facet of filmmaking.

- I really wish that were a thing when I was around.

- [Nikki] I know, me too.

- You got a group of friends who have a TV show idea, they come to you, they say, "We want to tape a pilot.

We think we got something."

They can do it.

- Well, that's it.

Yeah.

- Exactly.

- We'll have a place where they can actually build the sets.

So we're going to have a wood shop on the premise, we'll have three main stages.

- No bats though, there'll be no bats.

- No bats, no bats.

- Not yet.

- Not this time.

- We'll get 'em out though.

- We haven't seen them yet.

- You'll get them out if they're there.

- Funny you say that because I got rid of one today.

- Oh wow.

(audience laughing) - You want me to edit that part out?

There'll be no bats when you open.

- No bats, no bats.

- No bats.

- When are you gonna open?

- Well, we're hoping to open within the next year.

- That's awesome.

- It's gonna take a while to develop it up, but that's what we're hoping.

- I would love to help out and volunteer my time anyway, so please reach out.

- Absolutely.

- And I want to play a game with you guys now.

- Okay.

- The couples game, we've done it one other time on this show.

These here are chalkboards, as you can see.

Your name is on each side.

- Okay.

- I'm going to ask you a series of questions in no particular order, and you are going to simply show the name you think represents the question.

- Got you.

- Are we ready, guys?

- You gotta lay it down flat.

- You guys might want a drink.

Hope I don't cause any trouble at home between y'all.

You ready?

- Yep.

- Who made the move?

The first move back in the day.

- Not even.

- We're disagreeing out of the gate?

- No, no.

- Go ahead, go ahead.

- Well, I told you, I approached him about my one woman show.

- [Jonathon] Who made the move?

Who made the move?

- And she came to see the jazz.

- And then he made the move.

- Right, right.

- He made the move.

- All right, whatever, Nikki.

- I was all business.

- Look, look, look.

- I don't know if I wanna interject myself in this.

- Listen, I said, "Nikki, I'm having this jazz thing.

Come to Peoria, check it out, I'll get you a room.

You ain't got to worry, relax, whatever.

- Yeah, make all those moves.

Come on.

- And, listen, I told my best friend, I said, "If she comes without that guy, it's over."

(audience laughing) - [Nikki] And he made a move.

- She came without that guy.

- And he made a move.

- I feel like driving two and a half hours is a move.

- You both made the move, that's incredible.

- No, he made the move.

- Who's more likely to be late?

- Be late?

- Yeah.

Okay, because you're trying to get those earrings on?

- I mean, you know, I try not to be.

- But you are.

- But, eh.

- [Blake] That's all right, that's okay.

- [Jonathon] It's a ladies thing.

- Who's a better cook?

Okay.

What's your go-to dish?

If you had company over, what are you whipping up?

- I'ma grill.

- Okay, just anything?

- I'm going to throw some jerk chicken on the grill.

- [Blake] Yeah.

- Some lamb chops.

- He does a really great seafood boil, yes.

- When the kids want something, when Kennedy wants something, who is she more likely to go to first?

- Ah, no, you're not.

Stop.

(audience laughing) We already know.

- So she's going to Mom to get what she wants.

- She's a mama's girl.

- She's a mama's girl, I'm a mama's boy, I get it.

- He would like it to be.

- Who is more adventurous between you two?

- Adventurous?

- Yeah.

- I'd say Nikki.

- Nikki, moving to a new city, several times, adventurous.

- For sure, I would have never done that.

(audience laughing) - Who is more patient?

- I'll say.

- Well.

- No, you, you're more patient.

- Okay.

- I think it depends on what's happening.

- We got time for a couple more.

Who's more likely to embarrass the kids?

- Oh, that's definitely me.

- Me.

- No?

- Embarrass the kids?

- You both embarrass them quite a bit.

- Oh yeah.

I'm gonna embarrass, yeah.

- And you like to do it.

- I like it, yeah.

- It's fun.

Okay.

This is the last one, I have a terrible sense of direction.

Who's more likely to get lost between you two?

(audience laughing) I'm gonna ask one more and I was going to reframe myself, but I want to ask, who is the better- - I don't get lost.

- If we were to get lost, it would be you, not me.

I put my GPS on.

- Me too.

- Okay, you guys are incredible.

I want to thank you all for coming out.

Make sure, thought I saw John Morris down there.

- Oh, hey John.

- I got a couple "Vibe 309" hats for Jonathon and Nikki.

Guys, please give it up for 'em.

(audience cheering) - Thank you.

- I wanna take you guys back in time to the pilot episode of "Vibe 309."

My guy, John Morris, A.K.A.

J-Mo, described Peoria as the city of gratitude, actually said, "The city of gratitude."

He said, and I quote, "The vibe of the city is that we're very giving people, and giving is the action that comes out of gratitude.

When you're grateful for something, you tend to give."

And I love that.

I think one of the best ways we can give and do give in this community is by pouring into our young people.

Show them what's truly possible.

Give them opportunities to explore, reasons to believe they can do something big time with their lives.

We just saw an incredible example of this in the news.

I don't know if you saw Polly Barton and her family established a $5 million endowment at the Peoria Riverfront Museum.

(audience cheering) (audience applauding) It's the largest ever individual gift in the history of the museum, ensuring generations of kids have free access through its every student initiative.

Just think about what kind of access that can do for a kid, what that can unlock in a kid.

Nikki and Jonathon Romain have made that same idea their life's work.

They give young people access to art, a place to create, a place to be weird, a place to find their voice.

And let me tell you something, that stuff genuinely matters, it does.

Who knows?

Maybe one of those kids becomes the next Richard Pryor.

Whatever they do become, I know it starts with giving them the opportunity to discover who they are, whoever it is, and have people around them who believe in who they could be.

Peoria's always produced people with big ideas, big personalities, and the guts to be authentically themselves, just like Mr.

Pryor here.

It's our responsibility to make sure that continues.

Peoria can't be anything we're not, but we can be this, a place that bets on its people, a place that values creativity, a place where we don't just talk about opportunity, gosh darn it, we create it.

As the saying goes, "The people make the place."

So let's keep pouring into our people.

Let's help them achieve their wildest dreams because when you build up the people who call a place home, you build one hell of a place to call home.

And that is my take, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you for tuning in.

It has most definitely been a vibe.
