🌻 Sustaining Rocktown Realness: Why Your Support Matters

💜 Real work needs real funding.

Rocktown Realness operates on community-driven support, keeping Little Rock-centered stories, projects, and resources flowing. This page has had so much love, so much impact, but here’s the truth: outside of sporadic donations, I'm running this on my own dime and my own time. If I want to grow and if you want to see this grow, I need support. I give a lot—and I need to do better at asking for help. So here I am!

If you love Little Rock and have been doing the work, our paths have already crossed.

I have spent years in the nonprofit world—fighting food insecurity, working in the arts, supporting education, and helping small businesses grow.

  • 🌍 Arkansas Rice Depot – Fighting food insecurity.
  • 🎭 Arkansas Repertory Theatre – Supporting community theatre.
  • 🏛️ Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts – Supporting young artists and coordinating volunteers.
  • 🐶 Central Arkansas Rescue Effort – Running spay/neuter clinics.
  • 💡 Winrock International – Helping small businesses grow online.
  • 📢 Apptegy – Helping schools tell their stories.
  • 💻 The Iron Yard – Helping people train for tech jobs.

I was made for this.

🎶 Glow State: My Anthem for Little Rock

💡 When dark times come, the real ones shine even brighter. That’s the Glow State. I wrote the lyrics to this song and crafted a prompt for an AI songwriter as part of my work in an AI certificate course with Cornell University. No matter the tool—technology, storytelling, or community action—everything I do is about elevating Little Rock.
This song is just one example of that.
