Again, my name is Tel Thomas and welcome

0:43
Y'all can clap for that.
0:47
If you didn't know, Celebrate Gospel is
0:49
one of the featured events of a larger
0:51
program called Celebrate Soulfully here
0:54
at Disneyland Resort. Throughout the
0:56
year, we are inviting everyone to
0:58
experience a wide range of unique food,
1:01
music, and crafts, which all pay tribute
1:04
to black heritage and black culture. Is
1:06
that all right?
1:07
Yeah.
1:08
Yeah. We're doing this thing. You know,
1:09
if you know anything about the black
1:12
church is all about call and response.
1:14
God is good.
1:14
God all the time.
1:16
And all the time.
1:16
God is good.
1:17
All right. So, y'all know what I'm
1:19
talking about. Uh you're new to me.
1:21
You're not new to the black church. So,
1:22
let me just tell you a little bit about
1:24
myself. So, I'm from South Carolina.
1:26
Anybody from the south in here?
1:28
Yeah.
1:29
Where y'all from?
1:30
Florida.
1:31
Florida. Okay, we'll take it. We'll take
1:33
it.
1:34
Um, yeah, I'm from South Carolina. I
1:37
grew up in a Baptist church. My mom was
1:39
my Sunday school teacher, my choir
1:41
director, my vacation Bible school
1:43
teacher. Uh, she took me to revivals
1:46
during the summer. So, if you know
1:47
anything about the Southern Gospel,
1:49
Southern Baptist experience, it is very,
1:52
very, very much a part of the culture.
1:54
and I'm so excited to bring that here to
1:56
you today at Disneyland. I'm also the
1:59
founder of Black Excellence Brunch. If
2:01
you don't know what Black Excellence
2:02
Brunch is, Black Excellence Brunch is a
2:04
space that I created to celebrate the
2:05
individual and collective excellence of
2:08
black people. We've taken it all around
2:09
the country and all over the world,
2:12
including South Africa and Ghana. And in
2:15
2024, we took it to one of the most
2:18
esteemed places in the country, the
2:20
White House. The South White House.
2:21
Let's give it up for that.
2:22
Yes.
2:24
And today I'm here with you at
2:26
Disneyland by way of the power of joy
2:30
which is an incredible I got some power
2:32
of joy people. Um which is incredible
2:35
creators program that Disney has that I
2:37
was invited to be a part of and I'm
2:38
super excited to host this day with you.
2:42
Enough about me. I want to bring up some
2:45
incredible friends that I have. Uh,
2:48
please help me welcome Disneyland Resort
2:50
ambassadors Michelle and Aurelia.
2:54
Yeah.
2:57
Thank you, Trell. Good afternoon.
3:00
Good afternoon, everyone. We are so
3:03
happy to see you all here to celebrate
3:05
Gospel.
3:06
Yes, we are. Michelle, Celebrate Gospel
3:08
is a treasured event that helps foster
3:11
understanding and community. And in that
3:14
spirit, Celebrate Soulfully will always
3:16
have a unique place in the Walt Disney
3:19
Company's heart. Also, let's not forget
3:21
an important part of Celebrate Soulfully
3:23
and Celebrate Gospel, the Giving Flowers
3:26
Mall. Yes, the Giving Flowers wall. This
3:30
area is filled with tradition. In the
3:33
African-American community, giving
3:35
flowers is an act of recognition, of
3:38
acknowledgement and celebration of an
3:41
individual's work and contributions. You
3:43
know, historically, specific flowers
3:45
were used for a special signal to
3:48
indicate a safe passage to freedom.
3:50
Culturally, the natural tendency for
3:53
flowers to blossom reflects a symbol to
3:56
perseverance to rise tall and bloom.
3:59
Yes,
4:00
we invite you all to visit the wall of
4:03
giving flowers. I see some of you have
4:04
already done so, but we want you to come
4:07
and experience what it feels like so we
4:10
can all bloom. And if you're moved to do
4:12
so, write what empowers you on one of
4:15
the cards and attach it to the wall of
4:17
giving flowers so that by the end of the
4:19
day, we have a whole tapestry of
4:21
inspiration.
4:24
T, we want to thank you for inviting us
4:26
to come and celebrate with you. Uh, for
4:28
the rest of you, just enjoy a great day
4:31
of inspiring gospel music.
4:34
Yes. Bye. See you guys later. Bye.
4:36
Have a good day. Bye.
4:37
Thank you. Thank you so much. Give it up
4:40
one more time for our Disneyland
4:41
ambassadors, Michelle Ourelia.
4:44
All right. So, now that we've got you
4:46
all like opened up and we remember, God
4:49
is good
4:50
all the time. all the time.
4:52
God is good.
4:53
All right. All right. All right. Y'all
4:55
still with me? I'm loving that. Today,
4:57
we're going to clap, sing, and lift our
4:59
hands and praise and really get our
5:01
dance on. It's a fun day. Our theme is
5:04
the power of song. Because as an
5:07
historian, Alex Lomax once said, "As we
5:10
live, so do we sing." That's the power
5:13
of gospel music. It's etched in every
5:15
lyric and woven into every harmony and
5:18
is the fabric of our story. Um, yeah, we
5:22
got an incredible, incredible group that
5:24
I want to introduce that is coming up
5:26
here to kick things off for us. Are
5:28
y'all ready for our next app or our
5:30
first app?
5:31
Me too. I got my roll on. I'm going to
5:33
go back and zip it up. What if it's me?
5:34
I come back and I'm just singing.
5:37
Um, so the story of gospel means good
5:39
news. So when it comes to faith, the
5:41
good news comes with a message of
5:43
salvation. And when it comes to the
5:45
history of black Americans in this
5:46
country, the good news refers to the
5:48
story of perseverance and joy in the
5:51
face of adversity, which ultimately
5:54
allows us to triumph at over any
5:57
obstacle. Now that sounds like something
5:59
to celebrate. So let's enjoy a
6:02
performance by a choir who's all about
6:05
community.
6:08
Deonte Ducket is an acclaimed choir
6:10
director songwriter leading the
6:13

6:15
stirring performances that resonate with
6:17
audiences worldwide. With a passion of
6:21
music ministry and a gift for song,
6:24
Deonte and his choir inspire and uplift
6:26
through their music. Not only do they
6:28

6:30

6:35

6:38
feel like an outcast. Please help me
6:40

12:27
came to support us. Amen.
12:30
This next song simply says, "When God
12:32
speaks, he'll do just what he said." Do
12:35

12:36
You're going to talk back to me like you
12:38

12:39
speaks, he'll do just what he said.

14:37
Every time.

Every time.
