Hi, I'm Angela Rose.

My background is in tech startups and nonprofit organizations, and my passion is blending technology, social impact, and music.

I spent 10+ yrs at a company called mGive, where we brought 'text to give' technology to the U.S. in partnership with AT&T, HBO, NFL, American Red Cross, Comic Relief/Red Nose Day, and others.

In February 2020 I became certified to teach Adult Mental Health First Aid, and Youth Mental Health First Aid in August 2021. I have trained almost 100 people in Mental Health First Aid, including teams from Universal Music Group, 1824, and Beggars Group.

I am now on a mission to make Mental Health First Aid as accessible as First Aid.
Join me. Let's connect on LinkedIn.

2018
My journey in Mental Health First Aid and brain care advocacy started in 2018. I began hosting an informal Mental Wellness Meetup for our local Denver music community.

At the same time I became interested in emerging technologies like blockchain and AI.

I started to attended events in the blockchain and upstart web3 community, and joined the board of Blockchain for Sustainable Development.
2019
I received a grant from the Denver Music Advancement Fund to turn the Mental Wellness Meetup into a nonprofit called Music Minds Matter.

This grant also funded my instructor certification to teach Adult Mental Health First Aid.
2020
In February 2020, I became certified to teach Adult Mental Health First Aid by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing.

In March 2020, the country went into lockdown.

The National Council released the first virtual Mental Health First Aid curriculum in summer of 2020.
2021
In March 2021, I hosted a Mental Health First Aid training for both Beggars Group and Universal Music Group's 1824.

In August 2021, I became certified to teach Youth Mental Health First Aid.

I have certified nearly 100 individuals including artists, managers, venue managers, promoters, concert photographers, music nonprofit employees, and music community members.
2022
In April 2022, I certified Universal Music Group's People, Inclusion & Culture team in Adult Mental Health First Aid.

In August 2022, I hosted my first Mental Health First Aid training for the web3 community.

In December 2022, I launched Hope with Facts.

our values
.01
Curiosity
Curiosity makes the mind active instead of passive.

The mind is like a muscle which becomes stronger through continual exercise, so the mental exercise caused by curiosity makes your mind stronger.
.02
Kindness
Kindness is different than niceness.

Saying what someone wants to hear is nice.

Sharing what someone needs to hear is kind.
.03
Respect
Respect means that you accept somebody for who they are, even when they're different from you or you don't agree with them.

Respect builds feelings of trust, safety, and wellbeing in others and ourselves.
.04
Joy
Joy is fundamentally about “connection” — the primary purpose of joy is to reinforce our important relationships with others.

When we experience joy, our social bonds are strengthened.
