Who we are:

Turning Interest into Action

Here at The Waiting Room Entertainment, we see the value in everyone. We want to be advocates and a catalyst for positive change. Since our beginnings in 2000, we’ve been driven by the guiding principles of support, empowerment and progress.

Dealing with the challenges of today requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to take risks. The Waiting Room Entertainment emerged out of a pursuit to inspire and support our community, and a greater desire to turn our interests into action.

Tomisa Starr
I was born and raised in Sacramento, California. My hobbies are: art, mathematics, music appreciation, reading books, and watching films. My favorite film genres are horror, action, science fiction and fantasy. I have diffuse scleroderma, pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Tommy Fields
I was diagnosed in 2019 of scleroderma, but I started noticing my symptoms in 2016. Since then I met a wonderful person to spend this journey with and we haven't looked back.

Monica Espinoza
I am from Los Angeles, CA where it's sunny, but still too cold for us with Raynaud's. I was diagnosed in 2020. I came across one of The Waiting Room Entertainment founders on social media and decided to embark on the mission of spreading awareness.
