‘Be True to Yourself’: Mariah Carey Talks Philanthropy, Longevity & Not Calling Herself a ‘Legend’
['Five Forty Broadcasting']

Nearly four decades into Mariah Carey’s still-vital career, three goals have remained constant for her: to love, heal and uplift.
“Mariah Carey’s influence extends far beyond her remarkable artistry,” MusiCares executive director Theresa Wolters said upon the announcement of Carey as Person of the Year.
But Camp Mariah, the youth initiative she co-founded with the Fresh Air Fund — headed today by CEO Lisa Gitelson — was her first charitable project and is still at the heart of all of her philanthropic endeavors.
(Camp Mariah is just one aspect of the work done by Fresh Air, a nonprofit founded in 1877 to provide outdoor experiences for New York children from underserved communities.)
Asked about the strategy behind how she’s continued to level up while sustaining such an influential career, Carey credits a team that includes manager Michael Richardson and Rob Light, her agent and CAA partner/managing director.
