Question
Hello Ms. Canterbury
Hope all is well I have some question about Michael Jackson's Heal the World Foundation? He was the founder of that foundation correct? Also is it still standing if so where is it located? Are there any other Foundations that he founded?

Answer
Kandyce,

MJ was the founder of his Heal the World Foundation. I believe he also started an AIDS charity after his friendship with Ryan White, (a child MJ knew who had and died from AIDS when he was 15 or 16.) MJ also had a charity called the Michael Jackson Burn Center, where he helped burn victims which he started after his hair caught fire during the shooting of the Jacksons Pepsi commercial. Those are the only ones I know of for sure, and I do believe the Heal the World Foundation still exists. MJ would not have let that die, it was his cause he was fighting for, I plan to donate to it myself when I get my MJ book published. If you’re interested in more about that you can check out my channel on YouTube. My username is MJFantasywoman. Hope that all helped!

Jackson, Michael

I can answer just about any Michael Jackson question. I will say this because I've been having problms with it....if you are asking a question like...did michel like popcorn?...unless he said he likes popcorn in an interview or somewhere there is no way to know for sure if he liked popcorn. Some questions are based on opinions and educated guesses. We as mj experts are not psychics who know what no one else knows. Please keep that in mind when asking questions because I have had people give me bad ratings for not having a positive answer to things I couldn't possibly know for sure. Other than that ask away!

Experience

I have been a fan of Michael Jackson for many years and have done extensive research on his life as I am currently finishing a book on him.

Organizations
United States Air Force.

Publications
I have written a book on Michael. It's called "Through a Fan's Eyes: A Journal on Michael Jackson." It is meant to be facts about his life, quotes from fans and has a creative twist. It is just what it's called. The book is full of interesting facts and opinions on controversial topics, including input from fans around the world. The book includes creative writing like poems inspired by Michael and short stories with characters based on his life. It ends with touching farewell messages from fans that we only wish he were alive to read so that he could know just how strongly he is loved.

Education/Credentials
I have self published a Michael Jackson tribute book.

Awards and Honors
I have a youtube channel under the name mjfantasywoman. Lots of great tribute videos and dance videos I made. I have over 1 million views from fellow mj fans. Check it out.

Past/Present Clients
many fans of MJ email me everyday to discuss MJ topics.
