At Organic Business Network, we’re proud to help cultivate impactful collaborations that elevate entrepreneurship, community, and innovation. Today we announce our first ever “Co-Stars of the Week.” And it only feels right to spotlight a special duo who's powerful voices represents everything this network stands for.
B DOPE Water is not your typical beverage company. Founded by entrepreneur and mental wellness advocate Jackie Wallace, the brand was built on the idea that hydration can be more than physical—it can be psychological, emotional, and communal. The name B DOPE is an acronym for Daring, Original, Purpose, Esoteric—and each element serves as a compass for everything the brand creates.
From their mental health campaigns like Sit With a Stranger Day, to their powerful Dream Wall that invites individuals to share and manifest their goals, B DOPE operates as a lifestyle company rooted in emotional wellness and social impact. The brand’s identity is not built on hype but on healing, and that’s precisely what attracted their now-longtime partners at Melodic Playground.
Years before Melodic Playground became an influential hub for indie music, culture, and conversation, it was an idea in motion—a grassroots project powered by DJ Meladik and Queen Meladee, two independent creators with a clear vision and unstoppable momentum. In those early stages, B DOPE didn’t just offer encouragement—they offered real resources. Water, merchandise, motivational materials, and perhaps most importantly—unprompted belief.
B DOPE sponsored early episodes of The Mind of Meladik podcast, long before the show had a wide audience. They backed one of DJ Meladik’s albums without hesitation. They provided the first “official” gear that gave the Melodic Playground brand a public face. This wasn’t corporate branding—it was authentic partnership. And that authenticity created the foundation for a bond that continues to thrive.
Mental Health, Creativity, and the Indie Artist Blueprint
Both brands have always shared a common mission: to uplift independent thinkers and give voice to those often overlooked by mainstream systems. B DOPE focuses on emotional and mental empowerment; Melodic Playground amplifies artistic talent and cultural storytelling.
That shared mission comes full circle in the launch of a new creative resource: “Like a Boss: The DIY Strategy Book for Indie Artists.” Co-authored by Jackie Wallace and legendary Motown/Death Row producer T-Money Green, the book is a comprehensive blueprint for independent creators navigating the complex world of branding, self-management, and growth.
Unlike many books in the creative business space, Like a Boss doesn’t trade in abstract inspiration—it delivers tangible strategies. It explores how to clarify your mission, protect your mental health, build an audience, and monetize your craft while staying true to your values. It's not a book about chasing industry approval—it's about building your own platform with intention and courage.
In selecting B DOPE Water and Melodic Playground as our first-ever Co-Stars of the Week, we’re not just honoring their individual achievements—we’re celebrating the powerful ripple effect of shared vision. Together, they show how brand alignment, community-minded strategy, and authentic collaboration can create long-term impact.
They remind us that real partnerships don’t need permission from the marketplace. They just need shared values and the courage to lead.
In a time when business often favors speed over substance, we applaud these two for choosing depth, direction, and the long game. They’ve already inspired countless artists, listeners, and creatives—and now, we hope they’ll inspire you, too.
