Rock the RED: Bold. Fashion. Awareness.


Ladies of Red Pump Project


Rock the RED is a celebration of the first anniversary of The Red Pump Project, which was founded in March 2009 to raise awareness about the impact of HIV/AIDS on women and girls. This fab fashion show/fundraiser was held on March 25, 2010, in commemoration of annual National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. My girl Jenna, who is part of the organization, asked me and another homie to model...at first we were reluctant, but I am so grateful for the opportunity and experience. We honored Ms. Rae Lewis-Thornton, who has lived with AIDS for almost 20 years. This Diva was definitely worth meeting. We gained so much strength, just being in her presence. I was also blessed to be around so many beautiful black women for a good cause. Below is a few pics from behind the scene at the show...more to come soon.
