Uniting Nations and the Hip-Hop Alliance, these two organizations joined forces to bring awareness of the devastating issues of Human Trafficking on women and children. This partnership is working to eliminate the violence and trafficking of young girls in our society. It was an exciting event filled with hope and love for a worthy cause.

This was the first time the event was held at the Original Warner Bros Estate in Beverly Hills on the day of the Academy Awards. The star-studded, A-list celebrities included Film and TV Producers, Writer, Actors/Actress and Hip=Hop Moguls and Artist.

Hollywood Weekly Magazine was invited to take part in the interview coverage of “Jane Doe” of the Harvey Weinstein court trial. She was one of the accusers (victim’s) of sexual assault but was never allowed to testify on her own behalf during the trial. But now, for the first time her identity will be revealed this evening. Furthermore, Harvey Weinstein was convicted of several counts of crimes and violence against women and sentence to prison.

The evening ended with Gourmet Dinner, and an Auction of various signed Portraits and Artist Paintings. I am sure the proceeds will further education and seek to eliminate the brutality of violence against women and children worldwide. These types of efforts are needed to stop destroying innocent lives and bring back a balance to our world.

Tracing back to 400,000 years ago there stood the beginnings of human kind known as the Peking Man (Homo erectus pekinensis) which inhabited the Zhoukoudian Cave also known as Dragon Bone Hill in Northern China.
