“A Call for Peace” Block Party took place over the weekend in South Philly to help bring awareness and end the Violence in Philadelphia. Philly has an astonishing murder rate. We must come together and promote non-violence. Their were over 300 murders in the city last year.{source} Positive events like this are sorely needed. I was able to attend the block party that featured a fashion show, local bands, vendors, and excited kids, and complete with a Michael Jackson impersonator. Dj Diamond Kuts made an appearance, and Trina rocked the crowd with her hit songs. S/O to ICF entertainment for the great video.

Even though it was hot and over 10,000 people, everyone remained polite and was having a great time!

CELEBRITIES, CITY LEADERS & COMMUNITY MEMBERS UNITE FOR 4TH ANNUAL UNITY IN THE COMMUNITY BLOCK PARTY!
FEATURING “STOP THE VIOLENCE” MUSICAL TRIBUTE
WITH SPECIAL GUEST PERFORMANCE & APPEARANCES BY TRINA,
RADIO PERSONALITIES DJ DIAMOND KUTS & UNCLE O,
STATE REPRESENTATIVE KENYATTA JOHNSON,
JORDON HARRIS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, PHILADELPHIA YOUTH COMMISSION
AND MORE!
The 4rd Annual Unity in the Community Block Party will host its free annual celebration in South Philadelphia at 20th and Snyder Avenue on July 30th, 2011. Produced by Unity in the Community President, Anton Moore, this event is a community day of free food, children’s activities, live entertainment, celebrity appearances, a fashion show and award ceremony, and has become the most anticipated celebration of the summer for residents, neighbors and friends in the area. With a headlining performance by Miami native and hip hop’s proclaimed “baddest chick” Trina, additional guests include Power 99 FM’s DJ Diamond Kuts, Uncle O, State Representative Kenyatta Johnson; Jordan Harris, Executive Director, Philadelphia Youth Commission; and more .
The event aims to empower as well as entertain. There will be an emotional presentation that will shed a dramatic light on the city’s crime epidemic.
“This year our event will have a deeper meaning as we declare a critical call to action to the leaders of this city, local celebrities and prominent public figures, to help us mobilize a much needed stop-the-violence movement in our neighborhood,” says Moore. “What are we doing as citizens to collectively stop the crime in our city? It’s a question I ask my friends and neighbors and I hope this event will raise awareness about this important issue.”
“I’m glad to see so many of us on the same page as it relates to ending youth violence through community action and accountability. This epidemic that’s killing our youth also kills potential, and we have to stop making excuses and start creating solutions,” says State Rep. Kenyatta Johnson.
Just as promised in previous years, children can look forward to a variety of activities from face-painting to moon bounces, fun give-aways, cotton candy and more. Live entertainment including a musical tribute in honor of R&B legends Michael Jackson and Teena Marie will take place on a main stage.
The Unity in the Community organization held various fundraisers throughout the year to raise money for the celebration. Philadelphia’s Power 99FM is a media partner and other community members have provided their support.

Hey Philly & Beyond! I had the opportunity to be an extra in the film, “Streets of Copper” This short action film is about a man avenging the death of his brother who was killed by a drug dealer. Sounds intriging Right! This film was written and directed by Matthew McCray. I had a great time all of the actors and crew were upbeat and positive, and energetic. The best part for me was when I was running in high heels acting like I was running from gun shots. Good Times. Check out the rough cut. For more information go facebook.com/matthewmccray.

This past weekend I volunteered at the Eden Cemetery Day of Service with Global Citizens and with countless other organizations and volunteers in the community. Volunteers painted the fence along the cemetery and washed the tombstones. In addition volunteers did gardening and planted flowers. It almost brought tears to my eyes to see the children so excited about giving back. The famous black opera singer Marion Anderson and her family is buried here. Also the founder of the Philadelphia Tribune, Christopher James Perry was layed to rest here at this cemetery, which is the oldest African-American cemetery in the United States. This historic treasure is located in Collingdale, PA. I felt so proud and elated to help out. For more information go to Globalcitizen.us.com and Edencemetery.org

Denzel Washington gave the commencement speech to the 2011 graduating class at the University of Penn. He also was given an honorary degree from the Ivy League Institution. Denzel still looks great after all these years, and is my favorite actor of all time.
