The Care They Never Had Became the Business They Built
Before They Provided Care, They Lived Without It Travis and Latavia founders of Homebridge Healthcare Co I first read the story about Travis Johnson waiving rent for his tenants during the holidays while scrolling through X online . It stopped me in a way few business stories do. Not because of the headline itself, but because the gesture felt unusually sincere. In an era where generosity is often packaged for applause, this act felt fulfilling and personal. That curiosity pushed me to look beyond the moment and into who Travis really was. Waived rent would send anyone on the search for who the landlord is. That search led me to something far more compelling than a single good deed. It led me to a business philosophy shaped by survival, memory, and intention, built alongside his sister Latavia.

A Win Before the Win: Why This iHeartRadio Nomination Matters for Zeddy Will and Hip Hop Culture by NWO Sparrow
Validation Over Virality Zeddy Will Performing Live December 2024 I've covered hip hop culture long enough to know that the word new rarely means what it used to. In 2026, being labeled a newcomer often means surviving multiple cycles in public before anyone in power takes you seriously. That is why this year’s iHeartRadio nomination for Best New Artist Hip Hop Zeddy Will feels bigger than a single awards moment. It feels like confirmation. When the announcement landed, I did not read it as a breakthrough. I read it as validation for Zeddy. In an era where viral success can burn fast and disappear just as quickly, recognition from a mainstream institution is rarely guaranteed. Plenty of artists dominate feeds, charts, and timelines only to be shut out when award season arrives. That history is what makes his nomination matter.
