IF NOT YOU, WHO? — Building Impact From the Ground Up

What does it really mean to give back before you have everything figured out?

In this episode, we introduce the IF NOT YOU, WHO? Foundation a mission rooted in action, access, and self-expression. Our work begins by equipping students, women, and teens with the tools they need to be seen and heard. Through storytelling education, production setup, public speaking, and communication training, we're helping individuals find their voice and share it with confidence.

We also believe that how you show up matters. That's why our foundation includes styling support and clothing giveaways, removing barriers and helping people step into rooms feeling prepared, confident, and affirmed.

This episode pulls back the curtain on the why behind the foundation, how we're creating impact in our earliest stages, and why waiting for "perfect" was never an option. Because change doesn't start with resources—it starts with responsibility.

If you've ever felt called to do more with what you have right now, this conversation is for you.

Because if not you… who?

DJ Fannie Mae joins Ruby at the Roundtable for a powerful conversation on creating with excellence as the standard not the exception. Known to many as a DJ and the Co-Founder of Sainted Trap Choir, Fannie Mae is shifting the atmosphere far beyond the turntables. As an artist, creative director, and founder of Fannie's Hang Suite, she is intentionally building spaces rooted in care, creativity, and excellence especially for the queer community.

In this episode, Fannie opens up about what it truly means to create with intention, how her friends encouraged her to stop waiting for a seat and build a table of her own, and why excellence is a practice, not a trend. She shares her journey of designing immersive experiences, cultivating safe and affirming spaces, and redefining success on her own terms.

Whether you're an artist, organizer, or creative leader, this conversation is a reminder that you get to set your own standard and invite others into it.
