- Pittsburgh PA
- About Me:
- I am the founder of a grassroots operation called Healthy Music Matters. The organization works with local performers( usually musicians) to support them in their time of need by offering resource information, alternatives to issues that need immediate attention and organizing emergency fundraisers. We have been doing this since 2001. There is a small volunteer staff. Throughout the year we put together programs at community centers and hire local talent. Our biggest fundraiser is usually held in June (Black Music Month) and it is an awards ceremony awarding randomly selected individuals referred by someone who received the award before. On our site (when we get a real one) we hope to sell items related to the organization to help entertainers with emergency situations.

A Comments from one of our readers:
Thank you for allowing a platform of expression for the Home Girl, CEO.
You and your vision are both absolutely FABULOUS!
As far As my home based business, I haven't completely taking the plunge but, I'm 90% there!
Here's my thing:
I can no longer fall victim to a work place that has not set up ample respect for the single mom! My last job wanted me to work from 4pm-1am. In my opinion, they were telling me to forget about my family, and forget about having a life and let someone else raise your child!
To me, that's truly unacceptable as well as, on the other hand, motivating.
I can't continue to do the same thing and get the same results. I think they call that "insanity", right!
For me, that was a serious wake up call. So now, I'm working through this thing called "fear" and it's been a douzie! However, I plan to succeed at all cost.
I have too! I'm not giving myself any other option and you shouldn't either.
Always remember that we come from a background of strong survivors that would do anything for the price of freedom, even risk loosing their lives.
So , on that note, lets expect to succeed. Let's plan, organize, and execute! Let's be that person that we are waiting to show up! Let's do the do! Let's make a committment to hold each other accountable for success. I'll take the stand first.
