Turning Crisis into Creativity
FLINT, Mich. /CitizenWire/ — Jonathan McKay, better known by his social influencer tag RoarJMcKay is a psychedelic multimedia content creator hailing from Flint, MI. Harnessing the influence of psychedelia, McKay has begun to apply concepts of geometric structure and interconnectedness visually in abstract ways. After surviving the disastrous “Flint Water Crisis” and fighting a brave battle with Cancer in his saliva glands, Jonathon had a new vision for life. That new vision was “Keeping Tabs.”
Established in 2017, the sole purpose of Keeping Tabs (KT) has been to bridge the gaps in communication relating to factors of socioeconomic, mental, and physical diversities.
Jonathan has an optimistic personality. Even after surviving such tough battles and handling such trauma, he still looks for the bright side of life. Keeping Tabs (KT) is one of the examples of how important it is for Jonathan to help society in the most innovative of ways.
The brand name Keeping Tabs project is a mobile application doctors use to aid inpatient treatment plans in the prescription process. Its primary focus was the opioid crisis hovering around the U.S. How people are battling with such crises and what guilt they face after recovering from several addictions.
KEEPING TABS APPLICATION
The app includes risk assessment analysis, deviance tests, DSM-5 inventories, and biometrics in a user-friendly format for smooth navigation. KT aims to be a means to combat the growing overprescription epidemic and the opioid crisis. This crisis affects citizens of the United States nationwide. However, McKay has partnered with Midwest community organizations to create hope and spread awareness of proper treatment plans in the pharmaceutical industries.
KEEPING TABS (KT) PARTNERSHIPS
McKay is a registered member of the organization and has previously presented at the American Psychological Association Convention in Chicago, IL, in the summer of 2019.
Volunteer Medication takes back every quarter with Flint Innovative Solutions (FIS) alongside the University of Michigan – Institute of Clinical Health Research (Ann Arbor).

Keeping Tabs began to extend the barrier in multimedia marketing in 2019 through the recording of the Keeping Tabs Podcast. Produced by Whiting Entertainment, McKay interviews content creators on their brands and asks example questions from the mobile application. The podcast was a huge success immediately and opened the door for a feature interview on fellow Midwest creative series “The DoGood Podcast”

Using Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchats interactive stories, LinkedIn networks, YouTube videos, and Google SEO to broadcast visually to the audience, the barriers continue into 2021.
ROARJMCKAY AND MUSIC
“Rotting Rationality,” RoarJMcKay’s debut single as a musical recording artist, released October 30, 2020. The music production was a worldwide hit and reached audiences globally.
The album “Rotting Rationality” highlights the major crisis and issues within the community. It highlights the difficulties people face during a crisis, and the lack of motivation makes them depreciate life.
RoarJMcKay states: “One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned throughout my professional experience has been to accept diversity and respecting other people’s paths to success. Understanding that hard work comes in all shapes and sizes and to never judge a person before you meet them. I’ve met some of my most valuable friends in the creative scene.”
With melodic tones from Kevin Katana of Katana Worldwide and engineered by RIAA-Gold recipients Dre Berg and Duff Didthat of Lifeline Studios located in Royal Oak, MI.
