Martha Baccchus started her non profit due to the fact she was the sole caregiver for her elderly mother who had dementia, as well as other medical issues for eight years. She wanted to empower families, as well as organizations about the concept of care giving. Until one is actually doing the tasks on a daily basis, one would never grasp the capacity of what it entails. Therefore, Martha facilitates support groups, conferences, educate families, churches and communities, as well as being a development coach for individuals.

Mugzy had to fight through his adolescent years. Struggling with deep internal stress, he found inspiration in Eminem after his first encounter with Hip-Hop when he heard the song 'The Way I Am'. Mugzy felt that he could strongly relate to the lyrics in Eminem's songs & began to change his image to be a true representative of the Hip-Hop culture. Drawing inspiration from the masters of Hip-Hop & armed with the knowledge earned through years of hardship, Mugzy's rap speaks of truth. A raw truth. A truth that will resound with teenagers that have had to endure self doubt & lack of confidence. You can expect Mugzy to continue representing the Hip-Hop Culture, never backing away from any challenge well into the future.
