on a roll!

I'm so in love...
this journey in planning AUTHENTIC has been amazing.
Just today, I personally made some more connections with organizations for our three day October event..and I know its going to be a success.

Sidebar: My homie and I found a place to move into..and we get the keys on Saturday :D *very excited*

Anyway, I wanted to let you know that the three day weekend is going to benefit YO ACAP in Philadelphia. This is their mission statement:

YO ACAP'S MISSION is to provide culturally and ethnically appropriate HIV/AIDS prevention/education and care services for African-American adolescents and young adults in the Philadelphia area. The target population is primarily, but not limited to, African-American youth between 15 and 25 years of age. YO ACAP counselors and peer educators focus on social and health issues such as HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases (STD's), violence, substance abuse, teenage pregnancy, relationships and conflict resolution.

You can become familiar with the organization and the good works they do in the city to help educate our youth by visiting... www.yoacap.org

It hit home for me! And, though AUTHENTIC is a female art and music collective...i still want to give back to my community...so your participation and involvement in my activities are going to definitely help motivate our generation watching us...its a beautiful thing...giving back ;)

Just wanted to share those few words...gotta do some writing :)



ease.
