If you know me pretty well, you know that in addition to loving my family and being outside, I love Baltimore's young people. I have spent most of my career (almost from the time that picture of me on this page was taken 31 years ago!) committed to helping young people thrive; that's why I'm asking for your support now!

This spring, Wide Angle Youth Media welcomed 5 talented emerging creatives onto our team as year-long apprentices & interns. Over the course of a year, they will receive 500- 1,000+ hours of on-the job-training. To support all 14 older youth on our staff, during the month of May, we’re raising $35,000 towards their summer wages. We believe strongly that young people should be equitably paid for their time and talents.

For my 50th birthday (which happens this month), I invite you to donate any amount that has a 5 or 9 in it:) Helping Wide Angle reach its goal so that emerging professionals can be paid for their work and deepen their skills would be the greatest gift I could receive:)
