Strange Fruit Media’s Nia T. Hill directs the PSA and D’Angela Proctor is the executive producer. Tammy McCrary of Chaka Khan Enterprises and Marc Brogdon of Qubeey serve as producers.

In a statement on her website Chaka Khan said she was inspired as the mother of two children, including a son, to do something to make a difference.  “It’s up to us as parents and as a community to come together to make a change,” said Khan.

“I am a mother, and I’m also a mother with a voice. It’s time for those of us who have a voice to speak out for life, for love and for justice using the same media we’ve used throughout our careers. Now is the time to use media for the benefit of humanity as a whole. As purveyors of content and media, we need to use our voices to stop injustice at the sight of its origin. We have to be the voice for the voiceless, for the Trayvon Martins of this world,” she said.
