Day4Women & All-Female Soundcloud Collaboration Album
Helloooooo! I am so sorry it is been over a week since my last post! I have been extremely busy working on a new and exciting project that I’d like to share with you all today. For a while now, I have been thinking about ways in which I can could combine my love for music and my love for people. What I came up with, finally, is an event I am organizing called Day4Women to be held on December 8, 2012. It is going to be an online campaign geared towards women. The goal of the campaign is to inspire, inform, and involve women in helping to raise awareness of organizations that are already out there helping women in the following ways:
– Teaching job skills to women in war-torn countries
– Providing services/counseling to women who have been abused
– Providing assistance to women caught up in the sex-trafficking trade
– Providing mentoring and building confidence in women
This event is going to be my priority for the next couple of months, so you may be hearing less from me as far as the music goes. BUT…..
That brings me to the other half of this post, the all-female SoundCloud collaboration album that I am also working on at the moment. The album is going to be with a group of talented, wonderful women on SoundCloud. The plan is to use the album as another way of spreading the word about the struggles women face and to encourage women who are in tough situations to be strong. The people who visit the Day4Women site on the launch date December 8, 2012 will be able to download the album to use for themselves or to give to another person if they so choose. This album is one of the SoundCloud Heroes collaborative projects that I chose to initiate with the SoundCloud community.
So all that said, there are many things on my plate right now. Exciting things! And I cannot wait to share more with you as these projects progress. Please keep checking in as I will continue to post updates here and on the Day4Women temporary blog site as well as on the Day4Women facebook page.
Take care all! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
