On behalf of Justice for Women International/Children

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.

The Beginnings:

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. This area is South-west of Beijing at the juncture of the North China Plain and the Yanshan mountains.

Peking was the original name used by Jesuit missionary Martino Martin. Beijing originated with the French missionaries four hundred years ago and means Northern China. The area has a colorful history including invaders such as Genghis Khan and his Mongolian army. The area also experienced invading nomadic tribes which caused the construction of the Great Wall of China to be built to keep them out. It was built on rugged land as part of the defense.

Several dynasties existed ruled by emperors. Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was the founding emperor of the Ming dynasty 1368 - 1398. The Imperial palace was named the Forbidden City and became the residence of 24 emperors, their families and servants through the Qing dynasty which ended 1911 Beijing is renowned for its opulent palaces, temples, parks,gardens, tombs walls and gates. The natives speak a Beijing dialect which is a version of Mandarin. Amongst the city's attractions are the remarkable architectural wonders. The Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, the Palace Museum, National Stadium, Lama Temple, Beihai Park, Jingshan Park and more. The city also proudly hosted both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games.

The City is amongst the most populated in the world with a count of over 21 million residents. It is one of the world's leading centers for cultural achievements in the arts and music, politics, science and technology, tourism, education, research, and houses the largest number of Fortune Global 500 companies, plus boasts an amazing number of billionaires. Amongst its proudest achievements is Beijing Daxing International Airport, the largest single structure airport terminal in the world.

It was built after 3 individuals who were born in Beijing made their way to America. They came equipped with dreams of success in the film industry. Their names are Chris Bixi Li, Ruijia Wang, and Jiaqing "Vincent" Ge. They represent the youth of today. Their story begins at a meeting at Starbucks in Burbank, California where they made plans to launch their upcoming movie entitled, "HIDE".
