Carolyn Malachi: Responsible ARTistry at its best.

We live for ARTists that create music that send a huge positive ripple in the Universal Wave. 
Indie Grammy-Nominated ARTist Carolyn Malachi is that wave. 
Her current single "Free Your Mind" from her upcoming project "Gold" is an 
A+ Ripple with A+ Partnerships.
How can watching a music video in Georgia send kids to school in Nairobi? Each view of Grammy-Nominated Singer Carolyn Malachi's new music video "Free Your Mind" will fund a class hour of education for students in East Africa. This is the #IAMCampaign with The School Fund.


Album ARTwork "Beach Ball Fantasy" is by World Renowned Visual ARTist Synthia SAINT JAMES who Designed the 1st US Postal Kwanzaa Stamp.
Musicians such as James McKinney & Tarus Mateen 
also make for a phenomenal melodic piece of work. 
Dancers from the Taratibu Youth Association are the sprinkles of live energy
that give this project a quantum leap into the future of our youth.

The Power of Words MixTape

The Power of Words MixTape
by Mahoganee
Friends
Whether within our own thoughts, spoken or written, 
words have the power to transform the world we live in.
Language is at its best when used to inspire others to find the best in themselves.

“There is music in words, and it can be heard you know, 
by thinking.”
― E.L. Doctorow, Homer & Langley

“I have hated words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief
Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind
“There is something about words. In expert hands, manipulated deftly, they take you prisoner. Wind themselves around your limbs like spider silk, and when you are so enthralled you cannot move, they pierce your skin, enter your blood, numb your thoughts. Inside you they work their magic.”
Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale

We Support the 

OG Cares Foundation recognizes that there are youth who are living without the resources necessary to become leaders in their communities and beyond. Every youth has the potential to become a leader but in order to be successful in the long term they need support and guidance from those who have experienced success. 
OG Cares is going to bridge the gap between youth who believe that they have no future with the skills they need to be successful in life. We realize that there are youth throughout the globe who are experiencing these struggles, which is why our foundation has a global focus. 
Our goal is to help as many youth, in as many countries, as possible and to make resources available to them to continue to build upon their leadership skills.

My GirlFriend's Business International in Atlanta

My Girlfriend’s Business International Mix and Mingle:
Atlanta Faces and Places

In a state where there are 15 Fortune 500 companies and one of the strongest military presences in the country, some allow the African American women in Georgia to be depicted as loud, arrogant, ignorant, and uninformed members of society. Television shows like Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta or Real Housewives of Atlanta do nothing but display this message across the world.

However, I have exciting news! There is positive networking taking place in Georgia. On Saturday, July 21, 2012 “My Girlfriend’s Business International” held a Mix and Mingle at Vintabella Boutique. The company was founded by Jillian Blackwell in 2009 when she began to realize that Christian women need a safe haven to pray and get support for their businesses. Their goal is to provide women of God from around the world with prayer support and genuine partnership that will help them succeed in business and gain confidence and prosperity along the way.

The mix and mingle was a huge success with attendees such as Dr. Teresa Hariston (Founder and publisher of Gospel Today Magazine), LaTosha Brown (Principle of Truth Speaks Consulting), Nina Akpan (Owner of Vintabella Boutique), Melanie Few Harrison (Owner of Results Inc. and Founder of the Super Bowl Gospel Celebration) and Alison Mills-Newman (Pastor, Actress, Writer, Producer and current new film "The Tree Widow")

Not only did the participants come to support a great cause, The Diaper Bank of Greater Atlanta, they also got a chance to network and connect. Jillian Blackwell (Founder and Chief of My Girlfriend’s Business International) had the group join in on an intro that would teach a great lesson. Each person had to give a 30 second introduction of themselves to a person across the room. First impressions don’t take long for you to leave a lasting one, so make it memorable and positive. Then the participants had to stand in a circle next to someone they introduced themselves to and had to introduce that person to the group. This made people realize to pay attention to what people are telling you because you never know when you will need the information for future use. As well, it taught a lesson to remember the people that you meet because they may become key players in your future success.

My Girlfriend’s Business International produced a wonderful event that left all the participants with a positive outlook on what the women in Georgia and around the world have to offer. And hopefully one day every woman can have a support system like the leaders at this event.

Feed the Youth Knowledge

"Feed the Youth Knowledge"
Photo taken by our Photographer Enoch El-Shamesh

books are being handed out by Author and Critically Acclaimed Lyricist 
Malice @NoMalice757 of the HIPHOP group "The Clipse"
Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind and Naked
**In March, Malice announced that he was changing his name to No Malice. It was another step in the transformation that the Clipse member had been going through. As his brother and groupmate Pusha T built a solo career following the duo’s last project, late 2009′s Till The Casket Drops, No Malice has experienced a religious awakening, released a book, Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind and Naked, and taken a bit of a step back from music. In early May, though, Lecrae dropped his Church Clothes mixtape, which included the track “Darkest Hour” featuring No Malice. XXLMag.com caught up with the Virginia native to talk about the verse (included below). —Adam Fleischer (@AdamXXL)
“Lord have mercy and pity on your son/From what I once was, to what I have become/Forgive me for my past and the noses left numb/As I’m led down this path to the beat of a different drum/Fee-fi-fo-fum I’m conquering my giants/And all by my lonesome I’m conquering Goliath/I cut it on the buyers, now I trade in the triple beams/I’m Tebow to the game and I done traded teams/The slate is clean and ever since I’ve been delivered/My flow got em guessing like rock, paper, scissors/Before the feds came we were already prisoners/32 years made us all reconsider/The holy ghost in us, so whoever got a gripe/Prove the devil’s alive and well, Tyler got it right/How long can you live with your hands up in the white?/Jesus or the Judge? They both offer you life”

Music Video Provides Support 4 Student Education

MUSIC VIDEO PROVIDES SUPPORT FOR STUDENT EDUCATION

POWER
Now that "Free Your Mind" is released into the world, let's get to work on something that's never been done before! Check out the "IAM" Campaign – a six-month effort which will use the forthcoming "Free Your Mind" music video to raise 10,000 hours of classroom time, each month, for students around the world.

PARTNERS
Education is one of the most pressing issues of our time. The School Fund creates access to education for kids in our global community; they’re passionate, transparent, and committed. That makes them an excellent partner in bringing the music video to life.

PURPOSE
I grew up listening to Nina Simone, Quincy Jones, and Miles Davis - musicians who were widely regarded as the barometers of their time. Like the artists who inspire me, I view music as a way to make an impact. Make your mark, here: http://www.indiegogo.com/IAM.

@OffTheCob Dolls Headed to Sudan

Our Friend Cathy (OffTheCob), who is such a Responsible ARTist is sending 10 more dolls on another mission trip but this time we at Responsible ARTistry were awarded the opportunity to play a very small role in this BIG Mission. The hearts sewn on all of these dolls were made from a piece of silk magenta cloth with colorful butterflies that we donated to Cathy for her mission project. The mere fact that she chose the heart to convey a piece of us is very special and meaningful. 
Limited packing is the only reason she didn't send more.  

The Sudan Mission Trip is put together by the Seaside Vineyard Church
The Sudan Trip is scheduled for June 2012
For more info on this mission trip or how to be apart of future mission trips please contact 
Mark Walker (pastor) at mark@seasidevineyard.com 
Church address:
