Savvy Girl Spotlight: How Ruby Tilghman started a nonprofit and wrote a book by the age of 16

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. She hopes that this book will inspire children to find something they are passionate about, and bring awareness to the importance of fine arts education. 

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