Our Linked Prosperity: how local businesses are helping their communities

At The Mommy Center, we’re all about spreading love and support throughout our wonderful community, especially for new parents who often find themselves feeling isolated and lonely after welcoming a new baby.

To be your rock during this challenging time. Our Mommy and Me classes are led by amazing experts who cover everything from postpartum essentials to super practical tips and tricks. But we’re not just about learning; we’re about making friends too! Our meetups are like warm, friendly gatherings where moms can connect and build their own little tribe. Read more>>

One of my themes as an artist is feminism. I would like to share my honest thoughts and experiences as a Japanese woman through my music. I recently released a single called ” Breakthrough”. Will Smith’s incident at the Academy Awards inspired me to write this song. I saw some messages on Twitter (Current X) by Japanese people (including women) that supported Mr. Smith.

Our business helps a lot of people, such as independent artists. We give them a platform to shine when others don’t. We also help artists in the music industry to learn the business. My partner William Howell and I have a management company called “Howell and Gray.” We also have a gospel radio show called “Morning Gospel with Mark” that features a lot of independent gospel, and gospel rap artist. We also have another radio show with William “Dollr Billsko” Howell, it comes on every Saturday after 12 noon. It’s a great show, everyone should tune in.I’m also an A&R and a producer for Moneytree Music Group. Read more>>
As a spiritual healer and trauma coach, my work deeply resonates within the community and the world at large. Central to my practice is guiding individuals towards their inherent freedom – a journey to connect deeply with their true selves, their inner essence. This process of self-discovery and healing has touched countless souls, facilitating profound transformations in many lives. My approach creates a ripple effect, much like a butterfly’s wings causing a cascade of change. When one person embarks on their healing journey, it influences others around them, leading to a collective healing that often extends to entire families and communities. Read more>>
