    “I’m teaching kids right at the brink of adulthood, and a lot of kids don’t know that you can do careers that are actually fun,” Sean Winfrey says. “I’ve learned that a lot of kids don’t have confidence in the world, and they’re scared of the future around that age. I’ve just grown more passionate about it. I’ve personally seen some long-term change and impact on some of these kids.”

    The animator, who has created music videos for artists like Al Kapone, was at first apprehensive about teaching but found a supportive environment at Cloud901. “I feel like I work with a bunch of geniuses,” he says. “It is a very strange place, but I feel like, on a personal level, I relate to these kids. The reason why I got the position was because I’m a very good uncle.”

    Musician, Founder of Memphis Women’s Rights Advocacy Group

    The Berklee College of Music graduate has worked in London, New York, and Nashville, but Kady Brown’s decision to move home was vindicated when her single “Strawberry Feels” was embraced by Memphis radio. “I wanted to be able to do what I do from wherever I am,” she says.

    Last summer, as the Black Lives Matter movement was inspiring activism all over the world, Brown started the Memphis Women’s Rights Advocacy Group to help victims of sexual assault seek justice and healing. “I think it’s this idea of impacting what you can impact and hoping to cause a chain reaction. My biggest goal is to do what is within grasp and create a work that can either be continued or inspire another.”
