OUR MISSION
The Press Play Foundation exists to break barriers and create real opportunities for individuals and families who need support the most.
We are committed to providing access to mental health services, stable housing, reentry support, education, and essential resources—because true change happens when people have both support and opportunity.
Our mission is to build stronger communities by helping people regain stability, rediscover their strength, and create a path forward that leads to long-term growth and independence.
MY STORY
The Press Play Foundation and Press Play 4 Kidz were created from real life—not just an idea.
Everything behind this started with my own experiences, the people around me, and seeing how many families are out here just trying to make it with little to no support. I’ve seen what it looks like when people are struggling, when resources are limited, and when you feel like you have to figure everything out on your own.
I didn’t want to just talk about change—I wanted to be a part of it.
That’s how Press Play 4 Kidz started, creating opportunities for youth through sports, mentorship, and positive experiences. But as I continued doing the work, I realized it wasn’t just the kids who needed support—it was the whole family. That’s when the vision grew into The Press Play Foundation.
From there, everything became intentional.
MeMe’s Pantry was created to make sure families have access to food and everyday essentials. FRII Support was built to help individuals coming home from incarceration get a real second chance. And with our focus on mental health, housing, and overall support, we’re able to meet people where they are and help them move forward in real ways.
This isn’t just something I do—it’s something I live.
I know what it means to push through, to rebuild, and to create something better not just for yourself, but for your community. That’s what Press Play is about—real support, real people, and real change.
At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to make sure people feel seen, supported, and reminded that no matter what they’ve been through, they still have the power to move forward and create a better life.
