Jill Scott is making history … broadening the positive experiences and possibilities of Philly-area youth. In addition to programs that enrich their day-to-day lives, Blues Babe’s keystone initiative, a college scholarship program, helps these students claim a greater future. Scott understands the financial pressures of working your own way through college – she worked two jobs as an undergraduate, and she often needed help buying a book or a bus pass. While Blues Babe ensures financial assistance and mentorship for college-accepted high schoolers, Scott insists that they must also help themselves — “They need to have their own work ethic and hustle in their heart.”
