BCG Celebrates Three Years of Sunday Soul ATL October 23rd!
Wow, nearly three years ago I had an idea to feed those experiencing homelessness on another level.

Erykah Badu Takes a Stand to Help Detroit Rape Victims
Another reason to love Erykah Badu has arrived. The GRAMMY winning singer is joining the campaign to process abandoned rape kits and find the criminals connected to them by partnering with the Right Productions. In the partnership, Badu has agreed to donate money from her Aug. 12 concert at Chene Park Amphitheater to the African American 490 Challenge. The 490 is a partner of Enough SAID, the Michigan Women’s Foundation campaign raising money to test more than 11,300 rape kits found abandoned in a Detroit Police Department storage unit in 2009. The 490 Challenge bears that name because each kit costs $490 to test. About 10,000 kits have been tested so far, and money is now going toward completing the tests and investigating the results.
