Got invited to speak before the NAACP tonight and present Susan Sarandon with the Rosa Parks Community Activist Award. She's a special woman...I had to research ALL the different ways she has committed to giving back to the community, and I was blown away. We're talking about being a U.N. Ambassador traveling to Africa and India, traveling to Nicaragua to protest social and economic inequality, working in soup kitchens in NYC feeding the homeless, condemning the U.S. government for their treatment of Haitian refugees, volunteering for WEEKS at ground zero after the 9/11 attacks, speaking out against the war in Iraq, and on and ON!! Needless to say it was a HUGE honor for me to be able to speak about all the ways she's stood up for what she believes with no regard whatsoever for possible risks to her very mainstream career. I'm even more of a fan after learning more about her. She's DEFINITELY the real deal.
