info_outlineJimmy offers a fresh and unique perspective on topics like public speaking anxiety by blending voice work with anxiety management strategies. As a voice and public speaking coach, Jimmy Cannon belief is simple: whether you're speaking or singing, your voice is your most powerful tool. The key difference between the two lies not in the voice itself but in how we shape it. When we speak, we separate vowels with consonants—how we choose these sounds determines our language, but the foundation remains the same.

Food Insecure Households
For many families in the U.S., the past several years have been difficult. Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don’t have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household.
As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.
SNAP Benefits
More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as “food stamps,” SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.
