I will educate others on the importance of creativity and how to be confident while doing it. I will do this by hosting 4 workshops starting in the late summer/early fall 2025. I will also host a holiday workshop in 2025. In 2026 I will host two spring workshops focusing on Mothers Day and Graduation. The workshops will be me teaching how to make a keepsake box. This is a product I have worked on over the last three years and people absolutely love them and I’m quickly figuring out they also love to make their own. I sit back and watch people look at these when they open them and often times gasp. That’s what it’s all about! In the previous workshops I have hosted I give them creative freedom. I will suggest ways but I always make sure to explain it is your project as long as you like it that is what counts. I never knew I had a creative mind until early 2021 maybe if I had been encouraged I would have discovered this amazing gift prior to 2021. This gift has brought me so much...

"Righteous Gemstones 2" will be the second in a series music releases by local recording artist MRKBH and produced by Vermont native Rico James. The money requested will cover the cost of a featured guest appearance by a formerly major label recording artist on one of the songs on the project. The timeline for recording and release of this p will be 3 months (from April-June) with a mid to late summer release. My audience will be both local and global (I access a global audience via my label's mailing list that I have accumulated over the years). This includes fans in places like Switzerland, France, and Germany. My goal is to release and profit from a successful release rollout and the securing the aforementioned featured guest artist on one of the songs will play a significant role in achieving that goal.
