From the bottom of our hearts—THANK YOU. 💙🙌

The Hilltop Spring Jamboree was everything we dreamed it would be and more, and it wouldn't have happened without every single one of you. To our incredible partners, vendors, volunteers, artists, sponsors, and the amazing Westgate Farmers Market community—you showed up and showed OUT.

Every booth, every brushstroke, every smile, every song—that was community in its purest form. We are so proud of our community 🌸🎶

Art has a way of saying what words alone can't. 🎨✨

"Always Come Home" isn't just a song — it's a feeling, a story, a reminder. And now it's coming to life through visual art that captures every emotion behind it.

We are so proud of who poured her heart into this piece. This is what happens when creativity meets community. 💙

Home is more than a place — it's a feeling. 🏡💛

"Always Come Home" is our newest song, and it carries the voices of those who know that truth most deeply. Featuring George Barrie Band and created in partnership with Safelite Foundation and Foster Love, this songwriting workshop brought together adults affected by the foster care system — foster children, adoptees, and foster parents — to share their stories through music.

Their words. Their truth. Their song. 🎶

Stream "Always Come Home" on all platforms now and share it to help amplify these voices. 🔗 https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/weamplifyvoices2/always-come-home-feat-george-barrie-foster-love--safelite-foundation?ref=release

When physical walls and a global lockdown keep you apart, how do you hold onto each other? You get honest. 🥀✨

"So Much More" ft. Effee isn't just a track; it's a lifeline. Written over Zoom during the 2020 pandemic, mothers at the Ohio Reformatory for Women and their children back home bared their souls to one another. They took the heavy reality of separation, the longing, and the raw truth of their hardship, and transformed it into music. This song is a testament to the fact that when we are brave enough to be vulnerable about our pain, we build connections that no distance can sever. Listen to their truth, streaming everywhere now. 🎧❤️
