Families get multiple meals, and you get to see exactly how it happened post-concert.
<a href="https://www.zeponicfarms.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Zeponic Farm(Their Website</a>)&nbsp;and members of their day program will help us deliver the food to a food bank in Ward 7, <a href="https://www.hughesmemorial.org/ministries.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Hughes Memorial United Methodist Church's Food Pantry(Their Website).</a>&nbsp;Zeponic Farms employs adults with special needs, and we will purchase as much of their fresh kale as we can.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.findhelp.org/hughes-memorial-united-methodist--washington-dc--food-pantry/5092495626141696?postal=20019" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Hughes Memorial UMC's Food Pantry(Their Website)</a>, under their Missions Ministry, gives away free groceries on the last Saturday of each month from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm. No sign up is required for their patrons.&nbsp;We have coordinated with them to find out what food their patrons prefer and what they are running low on, so we can supplement their ministry for those in need.
This is an exclusive, live-streamed concert event featuring the pianist and composer, <a href="https://www.musicjoystudio.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Grace J. Reid (Her Website)</a>&nbsp;and the vocalist/dancer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/fromsuna/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Suna(Her Instagram).</a>&nbsp;
Grace Reid is an accomplished composer and classically trained pianist. Her body of original compositions include a series of songs dedicated to <a href="https://www.aoc.gov/explore-capitol-campus/art/vinnie-ream" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Vinnie Ream</a>, a teenager the white house commissioned to sculpt Abraham Lincoln.&nbsp; Grace performed her composition at the Lincoln Bicentennial, a concert sponsored by the <a href="https://www.nlapw.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">National League of American Pen Women</a>. Vinnie and Grace are both members of this historic organization of women artists, writers, and creatives. Grace makes the piano talk, speak to you.
Suna is a multi-disciplinary artist who we are honored to have at our concert. She will be singing&nbsp;"In A Sentimental Mood," originally by Phyllis Hyman. You can find her on instagram here:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/fromsuna/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">instagram.com/fromsuna/.</a> &nbsp;Suna performed an amazing dance at the Releaven Conference to Nina Simone's version of "Strange Fruit." Suna infuses all her art with her entire being, and you don't want to miss her voice in motion.

CHOOSE YOUR IMPACT (The Menu):
$35 — The MEALS TICKET (Meals &amp; Entertainment)
<ul><li>The Concert: Full digital access to the livestream.</li><li>The Impact: This ticket funds&nbsp;as much food as $35 will buy for a family in Deanwood.</li><li>The Promise: 100% of this $35 goes directly to buy food from low-cost wholesale/retail and Zeponic Farms in Lorton, VA</li><li>(This ticket does not fund Meek Earth Studio or the Artist.

$75 — THE SUPPORTER TICKET (Impact + Artist/Studio Fee)
<ul><li>The Concert: Full digital access to the livestream.</li><li>The Impact: Funds the $35 "Meals Ticket"&nbsp;(same as above).</li><li>The Investment: Includes a $40 Artist &amp; Studio Fee.&nbsp;This is the only money that pays the humans running the show (Grace J.

We will hold additional events of this nature using the funds from this ticket.</li><li>Choose this if you want to be a "Co-Founder" of this new model.</li></ul>
OUR TRANSPARENCY CONTRACT:&nbsp;
After the event, every single attendee will receive a public "Transparency Report." This isn't a newsletter; it's a receipt. We will show you exactly how much money came in, and share the receipts for every dollar paid out to Zeponic, the Wholesale Retailers, the Artists, and Meek Earth&nbsp;Studio in this <a href="https://chat.whatsapp.com/Jft88dG4UHwL0WM8MYvK94" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">WhatsApp Announcement Channel</a> and on our website.

Hands-On Home Improvement Workshops - Fair Oaks Mall

TradeWorx Academy

We help homeowners, DIYers, and beginners build the skills and confidence to take on real projects—not just watch someone else do them online.

With small class sizes, every participant receives hands-on instruction, direct access to the instructor, and the opportunity to practice skills in a supportive, beginner-friendly environment. At TradeWorx Academy, our mission is simple: empower people with practical knowledge, help them save money on home projects, and give them the confidence that comes from learning how to do it the right way.
