Michael Hyacinthe

Michael Hyacinthe is a U.S. Navy Seabee veteran and a social entrepreneur. Following his military service, Michael was recognized as Inc. Magazine’s Top 30 Under 30 Entrepreneur in 2010. Shortly thereafter, Michael founded [Has Heart] to connect with wounded veterans and to help them experience restoration through art. This initiative inspired Michael to create Wimage, a children’s media and tech company that creates digital technology, as well as the popular children’s show titled Wimee’s Words seen around the country on PBS. Originally from the Bronx in New York City, Michael currently lives in Grand Rapids, MI, and enjoys spending time with his four kids, volunteering with various organizations, and playing the drums at musical events and alongside Wimee at his live in-person shows.
