Not knowing exactly how something is going to work out is scary, liberating, exciting and truly tests the importance of trust. “Trusting” that everything WILL work out. This Unite for Green project is truly testing my faith. I don’t have all or any of the answers. However, I do know what can be accomplished if people truly believe in something and put their heads together. There’s no time better than the present to encourage people to do something great for the earth. I’m certainly not an environmental guru by any means – but I’m taking the time to learn.
I’m working with a great group of kids at UCLA. This last week, we met with the sustainability coordinator of UCLA; as well as an amazing company titled Harmony Sounds. Harmony Sounds may become involved with initiative in terms of providing the technical support for this (possibly) massive initiative. We are making lots of traction and more importantly, creating something special out of absolutely NOTHING. Stay Tuned.
The students are officially launching a UNITE FOR GREEN student organization at UCLA that will be spearheading this first initiative. Pretty exciting!
The Honey Collective is producing a series of experiences for our Los Angeles following. Recently, HC launched Honey Live at Angels in Santa Monica. Honey Live featured the talents of Chico and Kristinia DeBarge, Teddy Riley and Guy. It was absolutely amazing. Honey Live was sponsored by Hennessy & Vibe Magazine – it was incredible. Honey Live is currently being scheduled for next month and it’s going to be a treat for everyone!

We are currently in the final wave of our Summer time Rooftop parties at the JW. We’ve had a great run at the JW. It’s been wonderful to have been able to provide this experience for our Honey patrons. The talents of Dj Eque, Dj D Nice and Anthony Valadez have blessed the turntables. Spinderella, Talib Kweli, Hi-Tek Dj Scratch and Mtv’s Butta have also made appearances at Honey this Summer. It’s been a good time had by all.

I had way too much fun this weekend. Much props to Vikter Duplaix for hosting Kiss N’ Grind featuring the amazing talents of Dj Questlove and Peanut Butter Wolf. I haven’t had that much fun in ages! I had the chance to see so many people from so many different industries under one roof sweatin’ and dancing! Good times were had by all this weekend. I think I’m getting old! I’m still recovering from Friday night!
I hope everyone has a wonderful week! Happy Monday lovelies!!!
