I just got back from listening to Lakisha Jones. The state held a rally in her honor today over on the steps of the capitol. My co-worker and I joined about 1000 other people on the capitol lawn. It wasn't a well organized rally as we sat through a lot of downtime and student bands and choirs performing. Then the construction workers across the street started drilling and you couldn't hear a thing over them. The only good part of waiting for her to sing was when the Lt. Governor stopped by and chatted with us for a few minutes. Then finally, Lakisha belted it out. She has a super strong voice that even the poor sound system couldn't hide. She also looks a lot skinnier in real life as opposed how she looked on TV. All in all it was a fun break during the workday.

Hi,
my name is Tashmica Torok and I am the...well, let's just say I started The Whisper Campaign. Thank you for including our site in your cool links. Our main goal is to spread awareness about Darfur and you are helping us do that. I hope you will join us at the Screening of Hotel Rwanda, June 21st from 6pm-9pm at NCG Cinema. Tickets are $10 per person. All of the proceeds will go to the Genocide Intervention Network for their Civilian Protection Project. Sorry this has nothing to do with Lakisha. I just felt grateful.
Thanks for the post. I heard about the whisper campaign from a friend of mine. Our church is buying several tickets for the movie next week. Hopefully I will meet you then.
