Creator & Head Nut & Founder of Peanut Butter & JAMMusic Sessions for Kids

(pbjamm.org) who sits on the boards of Heaven’s Door Cancer Foundation

http://www.heavensdooropen.com/ and Performing Arts Workshop

http://www.performingartsworkshop.org who does not believe in the terms

“starving artist” (why be one?) or “at-risk-youth” (why allow this?). She believes in uplifting younger artists in every possible way!!

This “QUEEN of REINVENTION” is a 50-year old SF native who was born in the Mission. She also

considers herself an "Entrepren-Artist" as the owner of WAAAHOO Productions,

LLC. (est.1998). She coined the phrase "Shameless Self-Promotion based on

Integrity & Fact" when she started her first networking group called AMP3

(Association of Music Professionals) back in 2003.

Carmen's hard work,

skills, perseverance & theatre background allowed her to "act her way" into

corporate upper management in the Hospitality & Project Management industries

when there were no other Latinas in those positions. However, at the height of

her career she decided to leave it all to pursue her life's passion as an

International Headliner/Performer, while simultaneously reinventing herself &

starting her production company as well!

At the end of 2007, she

re-calibrated / re-designed / re-invented her music & video production company

into a Personal Concierge/Stylist/Design & Property Management Firm that is now

based in SF & Chicago. She has put together her "dream team" to manage & grow

WAAAHOO Productions, LLC. while she pursues her new purpose in life.

She says

“As an ENTREPREN-ARTIST I am always creating something out of nothing, if I am

not writing lyrics & music, then I create art, new products and new companies!

After selling my first tee shirt fashion innovation to two attorneys for

thousands of dollars, I immediately started working on another project and

decided it was time to create my proprietary formulas for an anti-aging skincare

product, a "scrub with a MISSION & a social CONSCIENCE" with it’s ability to

help Cancer Survivors fade away surgical scars & young people with

self-inflicted scars rid their skin of their painful reminders. I decided I

really LOVED the idea of creating something else from "SCRATCH" so I am

launching this line of "fresh hand-crafted" scrubs called Cuerpo Lindo Body

Scrub™, Cara Linda Face Scrub™ & Guapo Men's Scrub™ (Anti-Aging& Anti-Scars)

made ONLY with Wedderspoon Manuka Honey! These scrubs are ALL NATURAL with

absolutely NO synthetic ingredients - NONE. They are made up of all edible

components and nature’s own preservatives

Carmen Milagro relishes her roles as

a mentor, teacher, inventor, activist, writer, entertainer, businesswoman,

designer, spokesperson, philanthropist, start-up pro and most of all

ENTREPREN-ARTIST!
