Will You Join me in Supporting FASHION FOR R.A.I.N.N.

I've recently had to deal with the issues surrounding sexual assault because of a family member who had experienced rape and turned to me for help.  The life altering effects of such a catastrophic event is the reason R.A.I.N.N. (Rape, Abuse, & Incest, National Network) is giving hope to thousands by providing accredited resources and vital information.  In particular, I've discovered that in the African American community, openly or otherwise discussing sexual assault is taboo.  Thus the value of R.A.I.N.N.'s national sexual assault online hotline that allows a victim to get help in a safe and confidential way is immeasurable and it's free!

EVERY TWO MINUTES SOMEONE IN AMERICA IS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED!!!  Yep, it's true! Check out the facts at www.rainn.org.

A group of close friends, who also happen to be some of the hottest, talented, most respected people in the fashion market, retail, and entertainment industries are showing support to victims affected by sexual assault by participating in the FASHION FOR R.A.I.N.N. initiatives.

FASHION FOR R.A.I.N.N will be a campaign of fashion advertisements used to advocate sexual assault awareness.  I'm personally challenging each of us in the fashion and retail community.  Calling all fashion editors, stylists, buyers, merchandisers, photographers, makeup artists, hair stylists, creative directors, production crew members, designers, retailers, wholesalers, studio centers, marketing exec's and advertising directors!  Each of us can give a little of ourselves to such a worthwhile cause by volunteering our time and talents toward the production of these fashionable messages!

Will you join us?  It's the fashionable thing to do.   Ask me how you can help!

Love & Passion,
