Ms. Alicia Keys was selected along with a handful of international superstars to perform in honor of Vice President Al Gore as he accepts his Nobel Peace Prize for his global warming awareness efforts. The ceremony will be held in Norway on December 11.
In other Keys news, her much anticipated, amazing new album As I Am finally drops November 18. She recently talked with activist magazine Do Something about her charity work with children in Africa and the US via Keep a Child Alive Foundation and Frum The Ground Up:
"There are many problems today's youth have, but one that I think influences everything is the lack of inspiration and support.
There are not many people encouraging us to reach beyond our everyday
circumstances. In schools we get treated like criminals and are not
given half of the tools that will help us become the best versions of
ourselves. Many teachers are underpaid and discouraged when it comes
to finding new ways to inspire learning and so they give up on the
system. We need to see more examples of how we can become anything we dream if we are self-motivated and have the support and example from people we admire."
What a lady!
