Dr. DaBeth Manns (Retired, TL Consulting International) provided the initial seed funding in 2014 to establish the Winston-Salem State University Foundation's Belinda S. Womack Endowed Memorial Music Scholarship with beneficiary funds. This is an investment at a Historically Black College/University (HBCU) in the United States of America. Special thanks to additional donors nationwide and to local performing artists that participated in community benefit concerts and open-mic events to promote the scholarship fund. In perpetuity, dividends from the investment will support WSSU music scholarship recipients during their academic journey.

These independent music projects consist of original spoken lyrics accompanied by an eclectic blend of lofi-neosoul sounds with contemporary soul sentiments and mellow funk vibes. Special thanks to Beats Arranger-Instrumentalist Mr. Christopher Leath (a WSSU music student alumnus), Thomas Hodek (proprietor of Tellingbeatzz) and Emmanuel Archie (proprietor of Don't Worry Studios).
