"There is so much talent out there but never enough places that nurture, develop and showcase that talent. Specifically for underrepresented young people. I started MM to contribute to changing that, giving young people who dont have enough access or have circumstances that may restrict them the opportunity to grow, challenge themselves and be heard in their own way."
