Savvy Girl Spotlight: How Ruby Tilghman started a nonprofit and wrote a book by the age of 16
I'm excited to kick off the Savvy Girl Spotlight Series with Ruby Tilghman! Ruby is a writer and musician dedicated to inspiring other teenagers and young children by making fine arts accessible in schools. At age 12, she founded a nonprofit organization called Many Mini Musicians, which aims to fund fine arts in public schools and create opportunities for students to experience the arts.

Show Notes
Through Many Mini Musicians, she has had the opportunity to advocate and host fundraising concerts that feature young performers. Ruby has written a children's book called Ruby’s Recital.

In this podcast episode, we get an inside look at how Ruby has been successful at such a young age.
