Thumoslang – The Best-Ever New Year’s Resolution

We are Rhode Island Foresight Television (Ri4CTV). The origin of our story can be traced all the way back to a specific stop sign in Texas, two weeks before the September 11 attacks. | Tell me more

Nickantony Quach is the Founder of Ri4CTV. In 2018, he created this YouTube channel to tell the world about his 2017 book, THUMOS: Adulthood, Love & Collaboration. | Tell me more

It took Mark Canny, the other co-author, and Nick two years to write the book. It took Nick two more years to find Ifeanyi Onyekaba, who is willing and able to help and explain its power. This was, in August 2019, done in the second meeting between Ifeanyi and Nick. Neither expected it to last three hours, all were on camera. The film footage is used to produce the six videos in the YouTube series Thumoslang101. This series is the conversation that changes the world | Tell me more

To Elias Turner, a high school senior as of this writing, one of his most influential friends from high school is Jairson Ascencao, who, at the age of 20, still loves to climb trees. He was in the tree when Nick first met him in early September. What took place in the tree was captured in this video.

Jairson’s world was drastically changed when he, few days later, saw the YouTube Series Thumoslang101. His reaction to the series was captured in 21 videos, together known as the YouTube series Thumoslang102. Many of these videos were deemed powerful to Norman D. Baker, a friend of Jairson’s whom he met three months earlier.

Until the last episode was filmed, Jairson could not articulate what he truly wants to become. As soon as he did it, he confirmed the fact that Thumoslang101 is the conversation that changes the world. | Tell me more

On the last summer day, Norm and his cousin rode their BMX to the so-called Trinity Skatepark, formally known as, Adrian Hall Skate Park, in Providence where they first saw Nick. At the time, neither Norm nor Nick realized that they have Jairson as their mutual friend. The encounter is captured by the first scene from Episode 1 in Season 1 of the YouTube series NDBaker93, which is created and produced by Nick and hosted by Norm. | Watch the video

Nick and Norm met one another the second time unexpectedly when they both attended the impromptu music gathering that took place on the first of October at Kennedy Plaza, the civic heart of Downtown Providence. The initial and subsequent events are organized by both Jairson and Elias. Ever since, their organizers kept them going on a weekly basis and named them as, Providence Haven, which is often referred to simply as, Haven. | Tell me more

The final episode, We 4 in PVD, in Season 2 of the YouTube series NDBaker93 will be released on Friday, November 22, 2019. It marks the time when the four–Elias, Jairson, Norm and Nick–became one: #We4inPVD. That was on 2019 Election Day (11/5), five weeks after the first Haven gathering, the first time they four were all together. The reality-TV show NDBaker93 tells the story of how #We4inPVD are on their way to change the world as they help others as individuals become far more powerful than they’ve been led to believe. The story begins with the final episode in Season 2 of NDBaker93. | Tell me more
