It’s a new year and In Demand Entertainment is excited to be able to continue to do the work in the community that needs to be done for us, by us! To be apart of Project Serve meet us tomorrow or select Fridays to be announced at The Center located at 10420 S.

We are asking clients to come at noon, 1pm, or 2pm and volunteers and/or clients to come at 3pm! We will be offering produce boxes and other essentials courtesy of SSHC on a first come, first served basis from noon until 2pm or exhausted. We will also be offering confidential health assessment for consideration to be entered into a paid study alongside offering many other opportunities including sign up for training and subcontractor electives!

Congrats are in order for In Demand Entertainment! IDE was accepted into the 2nd of a now 3-year Nonprofit Management Capacity Building Program at The University of Chicago! This means more support doing the work we have been doing for over 20 years in the Black community in part involving HIV prevention, treatment, and advocacy. Our goal is to secure our nonprofit status (as a 501c3 organization) in order to quality for more grants and other funding opportunities! Here's to another successful year of building with a purpose!

“True faith requires patience and obedience yields greatness.” (Solomon Arnold) Over the years, I’ve mastered these traits and more. In this new year, I am already a testament of what is possible. Imagine being accepted into a graduate program literally 1 hour before class was to start; that was my reality. As daunting as that may sound, I remained resilient for I knew I was being led by the Holy Spirit. With that being said, it gives me great pleasure to humbly announce that as of Monday, 1/9/23 I was officially accepted into and started my Communication and Creative Arts Master to PhD Program at Purdue University Northwest; one of the Big 10 Schools of 2022! It’s my time to shine! (at Purdue Northwest Communication & Creative Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnR-6bELaUy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
