Short Summary
I am seeking your support to help "Free Mama
Earth" from the abuse caused by destructive human behavior like ozone
layer depletion (climate change), nuclear proliferation and deforestation. As a mother and
singer/songwriter, the environment, peace and social justice are causes dear to my
heart. One morning I awoke with the melody for "Free Mama Earth" and
the lyrics flowed through my fingers onto a composition book. Grammy award winner Mamadou Diabate is playing on "Free Mama Earth." Once we receive funding and release "Free Mama
Earth," 100% of sales from
downloads and streams of "Free Mama
Earth" will be donated to ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND www.edf.org and NUCLEAR AGE PEACE FOUNDATION www.wagingpeace.org.
Environmental problems like climate change can seem
overwhelming and impossible to solve, but doing nothing guarantees failure.
"It always seems impossible until it's done." President Nelson
Mandela.
The kind of world our children and future generations will inherit depends on actions we take now. "Free Mama Earth" is about saving Mama Earth from abuse like humans cutting down all the trees in the forest, polluting the drinking water, oceans, air, atmosphere... Plus, the music is beautiful.
No one can do everything, but everyone can do
something. United we are rich in ideas. Together we can make an impact. WILL YOU PLEASE JOIN ME BY MAKING A DONATION?

The Impact
The old ocean front power plant in the opening of my video
spews waste into the air & ocean causing pollution and erosion. Normally I would be running as far away from
the power plant as possible, but I'm running towards it to show you the surreal
juxtaposition between the majestic Pacific Ocean and the ugly, dangerous 20th
century power plant located only a few yards from the ocean. We need more 21st century clean energy solutions
like solar and wind, not nuclear or fossil fuel monstrosities.
Mama
Earth is the only home we have. I want
our children & future generations to inherit a garden of eden, not a nuked
out polluted planet. No more Hiroshima or Fukushima.
I am
doing this "Free Mama Earth" campaign for children all over the
world. They are coming. I am going. When my eyes close, "Free Mama
Earth" will continue to inspire and raise money for our cause. THANK YOU.
One Planet, One Blood, One Love...
Risks & Challenges
Like Kermit the Frog said: "It's not easy being green." I understand that the middle class is dwindling all around the world, people are suffering and do not have a lot of money, but we all find time and money for the things that are important to us. Saving our environment is important to millions of people around the world. Your donations will make all the difference in assuring the success of "Free Mama Earth" campaign, so please join me and vote with your dollars.
I have personal knowledge about overcoming adversity. Born African American on a small farm in South Carolina, I overcame racism and sexism to achieve my goals. We can do this!
