I'm super excited that this project is finally out! So many talented and wonderful people came together to help create something that will hopefully help the @musicares Covid Relief Fund continue supporting members of the Film & TV Music community directly impacted by the pandemic. Glad i could contribute my part on the PR side 😃 Now through September this special will be available to watch on the YouTube channels of @rollingstone @variety and @recordingacademy 🎶 (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB3u9FAgW5W/?igshid=1efcwjuyqmxg2

Hey folks, this is not your typical post about incorrect quotes.

I want to address a serious issue today, and most of you probably know what’s been going on in the US.

The killing of George Floyd started another serious and necessary debate on Police brutality in the states. (And I think not just there. Every country is affected in some way or another.)

My heart doesn’t ache, no. My heart is bleeding and crying out of pain about what has been going on for days now. What people have been going through for years and years. This is not the first case of police brutality against POC, nor the second, and it probably isn’t the last one.

It happened so many times already that I can’t count them all. Our world has lost so many beautiful souls to this never-ending issue. Additionally to this, we lost so many brothers and sisters of color who were part of the LGBTQ+ community too. Even though it is pride month, I can’t enjoy and celebrate it as much as I want to.

But now is the time to act. Now more than ever! We all have a voice, and I’m sure as hell using mine. And I want you to do the same.

40 Ways you can help right now shows you different techniques and approaches to support the #blacklivesmatter movement in various forms.

Everyone’s able to do something. Even if you don’t have the money to donate, or you’re not from the US, share articles, draw attention to it in some way. Being silent about this puts you on the side of the offenders.

I understand that I will never understand. However, I stand with all of you!!! Credit goes to @sfbucketlist on instagram for these 40 ways you can help right now.

To say this past week or two has been hard would be an understatement. There's so much I want to say, but I'm tired. I won't stop standing up to the racial injustice that has plagued this country for years and I hope you won't as well. It takes ALL of us. I also won't continue to contribute to making many of you feel comfortable about not talking about racial equality. We need to be uncomfortable. These conversations NEED to continue. Today would have been Breonna Taylor's 27th birthday. Unfortunately, her life was taken from her by law enforcement that wrongfully murdered her in her own residence. They still have yet to be held accountable. The lack of accountability in "our" justice system is apalling and needs to be corrected. The protests happening in all forms are vital to this movement. History is being made and there's only one humane side. Which side are you on? #justiceforBreonnaTaylor #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd #JusticeforAhmaudArbery #howmanymorewillittake #BlackLivesMatter #supportUS #getinvolved #protest #petition #donate #VOTE https://www.instagram.com/p/CBEU_glgJ3b/?igshid=13q5g7rnjxxhc

HAPPY (late) 30th BIRTHDAY to my sis, @daonenonly11 🎉🎉🎉 I'll NEVER forget the day we officially met at basketball conditioning freshman year and discovered we've known each other a lot longer. Glad to know you're as crazy now as you were back then 🤪 https://www.instagram.com/p/B5w6P7OgfOF/?igshid=k7tciwcdgwo2
