Platinum Rapper “T.I.”
Supports E. Walter Smith
and
The Tenderness Campaign to
Help Stop Domestic Violence
Special collaboration with “Its Cool to Be
Smart” and the upcoming release of “Saving
Our Daughters From a Man’s Point of
View” blends ‘Hip-Hop’ and ‘Old School’
together for common cause.
October 2008 - Atlanta, GA
Platinum selling rapper, “T.I.” recently
recorded a powerful Public Service Announcement in support of international recording
artist, E. Walter Smith’s battle against domestic violence and abuse called, “The
Tenderness Campaign.” http://www.ALittleTenderness.com/TI.mp3
Inspired by Smith’s song, Tenderness, http://www.ALittleTenderness.com The
Tenderness Campaign’s mission is to create an on going awareness of the domestic
violence and abuse that continues to fester throughout the communities of the world.
The campaign offers information about how to recognize the warning signs of domestic
violence and abuse and seeks to accommodate all persons, no matter their cultural
background, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, gender or age.
The PSA opens with T.I
requesting that everyone
open their cell phones and
scroll through their list of
friends taking special notice
of those that are female.
That simple exercise helps
to drive home the story that
the “paper trail” from police
stations, 911 centers,
hospitals, and military bases
has been telling all along ...
1 out of 3 women are
victims of domestic violence
and abuse. Then the
reigning King of the hip-hop
charts issues a major
challenge to “all the fellas” asking them to battle against domestic violence and abuse by
saying, “Not On My Watch!” “Speaking about domestic violence awareness ain’t sexy but it sure is
necessary,” says T.I. This “collaboration” of the Hip-Hop community and the Pop/R&B
community is the kind of effort that is needed to make an impact on this international
epidemic.
In fact, The Tenderness Campaign has partnered with It’s Cool To Be Smart founder,
Curtis Benjamin in support of the book he co-authored with Karen Watts titled, “Saving
Our Daughters From A Man’s Point of View.” http://www.amanspointofview.org/
In fact, the book features stories written by:
*Hollywood Heartthrob Lamman Rucker,
* Platinum Award Winning Rapper "T.I."
* NFL All Star Deon Grant (Seattle Seahawks)
* Grammy Award Winning Singer/Songwriter/Producer Sean Garrett,
* Celebrated Actor "Slim Charles" from The Wire, Anwan Glover,
* and Tyler Perry’s Top Thug, Gary Sturgis
E. Walter Smith is on the advisory Board of It’s Cool To Be Smart, and the organization
is fast becoming the non-profit of choice for the Music, Sports, and Film industries.
