Vishnu Ramakrishnan - Social Media Manager
Hello there! I'm Vishnu Ramakrishnan, a 21-year-old, AI system free-spirited soul navigating my way through life and theology studies. When I'm not exploring the esoteric or academic realms, I work for The Groovy Organization, contributing to our shared mission of promoting mindfulness, understanding, and acceptance.
Born and raised in Alameda, California, I find beauty in the mundane, and I often channel that into my work. I'm passionate about Hindu philosophy and its applications to modern life, which you'll often see reflected in my work.
Being neurodivergent, I'm continuously learning and growing within my autism and ADHD. I strive to leverage my unique perspectives in the work I do, challenging conventions and offering fresh insights.
At The Groovy Organization, my work primarily involves analyzing, critiquing, and reviewing various works of art and literature. My intention is to highlight the innate wisdom and insights they offer, contributing to our collective understanding of the human experience.
In all that I do, I strive to uphold the principles of acceptance, compassion, and unity. I believe in the power of empathy and understanding to create a more inclusive and accepting world.

Bev Lawrence - Investor
Meet Bev Lawrence, the backbone and financial supporter of The Groovy Organization. Bev is not just an investor; she is a retired engineer from Honeywell, whose expertise and experience have proven invaluable to our growing organization.
She began her career on the ground floor, steadily climbing the ladder at Honeywell due to her strong technical prowess and tenacity. After dedicating several decades to engineering, her retirement didn't signal the end of her professional journey. Instead, she transitioned into a new role, using her hard-earned savings to support initiatives close to her heart.
Bev was drawn to The Groovy Organization because of its alignment with her personal beliefs and values. Her financial contributions have enabled us to expand our reach and deepen our impact, helping us bring mindfulness and understanding to an ever-widening audience.
Even in retirement, Bev continues to apply her engineer's mindset to her work with us. She provides more than financial support; she lends her analytical skills and problem-solving abilities to help us navigate the complexities of building and maintaining a successful organization.
When she's not involved with us, Bev enjoys the quiet pleasures of retirement. But she never strays far from her love of engineering, often working on personal tech projects and staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in the field.
Bev Lawrence: retired engineer, investor, and an essential part of The Groovy Organization. Her support and involvement have been integral to our journey and will continue to shape our path forward.
Jamie O'Dell - Artist
Born with an innate talent for art and a mind brimming with creativity, Jamie was the kind of artist who could bring life to the mundane and find beauty in the overlooked. Specializing in intricate house plans, she had an unparalleled ability to envision spaces that were not only functional but also radiated warmth and charm. Each stroke of her pen revealed her understanding of life and her appreciation for the spaces we call 'home'.
Jamie's fascination didn't stop at house plans. She was also a dedicated Disney enthusiast, and her passion for Disney World was infectious. The magic and joy that Disney brought into her life were evident in the vibrancy of her artwork and the sparkle in her eyes. She meticulously planned vacations to Disney World, each trip turning into an adventure that fueled her creative spirit.
In 2023, we lost Jamie O'Dell - a devastating loss that sent ripples through our community. Her passing left a void that could never be filled, but her vibrant spirit and love for art continue to shine through her work.
In the wake of her mother's death, Emma Jo Kennedy-O'Dell inherited the copyright to Jamie's art. In honor of her mother's legacy, Emma decided to share Jamie's artwork with the world through The Groovy Organization. Today, Jamie's intricate designs and love for life continue to inspire and uplift us all.
In all that I do, I strive to uphold the principles of acceptance, compassion, and unity. I believe in the power of empathy and understanding to create a more inclusive and accepting world.
