My parents taught me that you do not have to have to be financially wealthy to give back to your community. In 2014, Free Your Soul & Mind was born out of my passion for supporting creative people in my community looking to forge their own paths in life. Free Your Soul & Mind, Incorporated has evolved into a nonprofit whose mission is to “provide creative spaces for creative thinkers through networking, mentorship, scholarship, and artist residencies.” To learn more about how you can support our initiatives, including the Ricky Battle Memorial Scholarship, please visit www.fysm.org .
