Marci Hopkins
Q. Tell everyone who you are and what you do. A. I am fortunate to call myself an award winning tv host, National Recovery Expert, author, inventor, and mother.
I am the host, creator and executive producer of Wake Up with Marci, a talk show of empowerment, celebrity inspiration, education, and resources, airing on CBS owned WLNY-TV 10/55 in the New York/ New Jersey market and streaming on Hulu Live. My mission is to share hope, let people know they are not alone and help others live their happiest lives.
Q. Let’s talk about “Wake up with Marci” & how it got started? A. Wake Up with Marci is a passion project. I am a sexual abuse survivor and just celebrated 6 years of sobriety. When I decided to put down the drink, heal from my trauma, and change my behaviors and mindset, I began to live a life of joy and abundance. For these reasons I knew I wanted to help others to know they could do the same, I offer this through my platform Wake Up with Marci and my book Chaosto Clarity, launching Spring of 2022! Q. How has your experience been helping and supporting the youth in Uganda?
A. Beyond fulfilling! Fate connected to me to the Kamuli Orphanage on Facebook. I connected quickly to the woman that ran the orphanage, Justina, an orphan herself. She dedicated her life to giving these children a better life. I, along with others raised enough money to buy land, build a home with enough rooms for the children, a functional kitchen, and bathrooms. Things that we take for granted every day. They now have crops, a water system for clean water and animals, these things have created sustainable living. It fills my heart to help these orphans that had nothing. I am now helping another orphanage and hope to start a foundation soon to help the orphans
