SUMMER RONA

“Summer Rona is a dynamic performer who has traveled the globe singing and writing Pop & Soul music. Summer creates original music that weaves ambient electronic sounds over old school hip hop beats, ominous timpani’s, and rich harmonies while she delivers powerful, heart felt lyrics with contagious melodies and catchy beats. She pulls you into her real life stories connecting to the human desire to overcome adversity and to celebrate a triumphant life with her sultry vocals ranging from a clear-toned coloratura soprano, to a raw bluesy alto with smooth as butter trills. Summer incorporates her accomplished piano playing skills into her tunes as well her natural vocal ability inspired by her classically trained pianist father and her opera singing mother.

With her curly locks, olive skin and Bohemian funky style she is reminiscent of a young, soulful Teena Marie with some Sade sophistication and Christina Aguilera sass. In touch with her Jewish & French heritage she likes to sing in other languages including Hebrew and French and includes a vast array of worldly instrumentation to expand her ever growing fan base. Summer sets the stage for theatrical performances from epic ballads and haunting melodies to “get up and dance” vintage be-bop pop grooves inspired by The Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder, Pharell, Timberlake, Sia, Rihanna and Lana Del Rey. Growing up singing Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and MJ songs, Summer is a true vocalist capable of hitting any range and style. Summer performs with a twist of Gaga-esque artistic presence and vision and proves to be a well-rounded artist capable of moving a world wide audience.”

With a passion for life and a drive to connect with people on a deeper level, Summer Rona puts every ounce of her energy into creating and performing music. She hopes to inspire others to express themselves as fully as she does. She is influenced by music that “moves me to tears or makes me dance, from Motown to Classical, if it touches my soul, I love it!” Summer says. Her parents met in a band & brought Summer to every rehearsal & gig as an infant. “I had a mic in my hand before I could stand.” Summer says as she flashes a picture of her in a diaper holding a silver vintage mic to her mouth. Her mother was a beautiful singer and her father was a classically trained pianist who’s sudden death last year caused Summer to question her purpose on this earth. “Serve others with your talents, work hard, love and…DREAM” she says. “Dream as big as you can and never, ever give up! That’s what my dad told me.”

As an accomplished singer and piano player herself, Summer has the sound of experience. She performed a duet with the legendary Jermaine Jackson, singing the hit song, “I’ll Be There”, among other Jackson favorites at Planet Hollywood in Vegas. She had the opportunity to perform at the infamous Hollywood Bowl with Evan Ross opening for Diana Ross to a crowd of 20,000. It was a dream come true for Summer to sing with Stevie Wonder at the House Full of Toys Benefit Concert as part of the International Colors of Love Choir in December 2011 at The Nokia Theatre. Summer also wrote and produced a house track for Michael Costello that played for thousands at the NYC Lincoln Center for the Project Runway Finale Show! You can hear her voice on the radio, the American Idol video game, television shows & commercials, jingles, as a guest artist on albums such as: Big Swedes “BS in Da Club” and the new album by UK hip hop sensation, Antix.

Summer has released two EP’s and has a catalogue of hundreds of original songs which she has placed in TV, Film. Her first film placement was with her R&B song, “Ready” in the TD Jakes film, “Woman Thou Art Loosed”. She plans to save a special collection of songs for her first full length album.

Michael Lee Hill is an award winning musician, filmographer and UFO experiencer. His footage of the Lake Erie UFO’s has created a Billy Meier like buzz and Michael seems to have developed an intuitive relationship with these craft. In his home state of Ohio, Michael has been cataloging video after video of UFO’s over Lake Erie. The phenomena consists almost entirely of ‘Pulsating orb’s of light”—unusual lights seen changing colors, converging, and separating over the lake. Stories of the unexplained phenomena date back over 150 years to the indigenous North American Indian Tribes.

Imagine this, if you will…

You experience strange ET Contact & happenings your entire life. “They” begin to communicate through telepathy leading you to Cosmic Spiritual Truths regarding how Thought Create Reality subject matter. They begin to reveal themselves in the Physical in Orbs Of Light/Plasma

over Lake Erie. They allow you to film them. Your footage goes viral gaining worldwide attention.

Your footage lands you on a prime time TV show called UFO Hunters on the History Channel. On the episode, They decide to test your blood and it is revealed you do not have normal human blood, The UFO Hunters uncover a very rare blood anomaly/bloodline that the world’s best military and civilian doctors are at a loss to explain? The host of the show, legendary UFO Researcher Bill Birnes, goes on to say, “I’ve got a funny feeling that you are being recruited and there is a branch of the government that you’re being recruited for – that somehow, some way, you are a hybrid between “ET” and humans. And they are giving you a course of study preparing you to meet your ET higher self.”

Soon after the airing of this show You are indeed contacted by this branch of the government called the Labyrinth Group and offered a course of study. Then you are met by beings claiming to be ET’s and these beings announce themselves as the Anunnaki, which is a term at that point in time you didn’t even know the meaning of. These Anunnaki tell you that you yourself are an Anunnaki incarnated into the Nephilim “Royal” Human/Anunnaki Hybrid Bloodline? And then this secret branch of the government begins to inform and guide you to information to make sense out of all of this?

Welcome to my world!

Called to birth a next step, she and Adrian Batour created Rise Multiversity.  Rise has become a sanctuary in the storm of polarization and disinformation; a space to share, care, and speak one’s authentic truth in a “judgment free” environment.  In three short years, Rise has hosted over 40 webinars, courses and events for those ready to step into their sovereignty.  Sienna wrote Stealing the Moon, which dives headfirst into the Deep Shadow; rediscovering, reclaiming and reintegrating the hidden aspects of Self.

Rise’s mentors include George Kavassilas, Anaiis Salles, Lynn Williams, Carla Fox and other transformational guides, exploring our path to sovereignty on multi-dimensional levels.  Currently, Sienna is expanding Rise to offer more in-depth courses and retreats centering on weathering the current A.I. imposition and increased targeting.  Rise empowers those doing the inner work while creating community and connection with embodied truth.

Cheryl Boyles  tells us her story below. In June 2000 I was 33 years old, working as a wildlife biologist in Oregon, married to a wonderful husband for 10 years, and the mother of two amazing sons that were 1 and 3 years old.  I was loving life; then overnight my life changed.  I began having headaches that felt like my skull was going to explode.  An MRI showed my brain was hemorrhaging.  I went into surgery and an acorn sized grade 4 Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) brain tumor was removed.  I was told I had less than a year to live.I quit my job, and focused on being a mother and fighting brain cancer.  I went through radiation, but chose not to take chemotherapy.  The chemo would only add 3 months to my life, but quality of life would be miserable.

I decided to take more of a natural “alternative” approach, trying to boost my own immune system.  My good cells outnumbered my bad cancer cells! I started eating organic, following a low carbohydrate diet, exercising, simplifying life and nursing a positive attitude, taking acupuncture, many supplements, cannabis, some “off label” prescriptions (like Metformin), and most of all leaning on God for strength which feeds me with hope.

Over the 16 years fighting the terminal brain cancer, I’ve unfortunately was hit with six recurrences. The fact that I have survived is unbelievable.  My doctors even say so.  Most people with the GBM die with their first recurrence, which usually happens within the first few years.  To fight my recurrences, I mostly focused on my alternative actions, but also continued with some of the standard treatments.  I’ve been through six brain craniotomies, 6 week of conformation radiation, over 3 ½ years on the milder chemo called Temodar, and also what is called Gamma Knife radiation.

Taking this approach of combining many alternative and standard treatments, trying to hit the cancer from many angels, has become known at a “cocktail” approach.  It seems to be working for me, not that I’m cured, but I’m still alive and loving life.  Over the sixteen years I’ve had over 100 MRIs, and it’s great to say that my last MRI was clear, no seen GBM.I have become known in the “brain tumor world” as a long term survivor.  Patients and caregivers from around the USA and around the world contact me wanting to know “How do you do it?”  So I’ve put together a web page, wrote a book called Life’s Mountains, and made some videos hoping to reach out and encourage others.

Now my husband and I have been married 26 years, growing stronger together.  My two boys are now 17 and 20 years old, both wanting to become wildlife biologists like mom and dad.   And over the years I’ve been blessed with many things.  Seeing life anew, learning to be content regardless of circumstances, enduring through the challenges, and living life in the moment.
