KEY TO THE CONTINENT A portion of a new Alicia Keys documentary, the not-very-creatively named Alicia in Africa: Journey to the Motherland, will air on tonight's seriously hyped American Idol: Idol Gives Back show. The documentary follows Keys' one-month trip to the continent, where she visited communities deeply affected by HIV and AIDS (that's quite a few communities!). "Everyone who visits Africa is changed by the experience, but not everyone can afford to go to Africa," says Keys. "Come with me on my journey and learn as I learn. Let's start a virus to stop a virus- send the film to everyone you know. Let's change this nightmare into our generation's greatest success story." The documentary can be viewed in full at AliciainAfrica.com.
Who says black celebs never go to Africa? And most of the time, cameras are not following them when they do.
ALICIA IS MY GIRL! Technically, no, but I support her. Ever since she first came out with "Songs in A Minor," she is the face of Keep a Child Alive, a charity dedicated to helping chidren born from HIV mothers, HIV education, medicine, you name it.
Rock on Miss Alicia, that's why I will buy everything she sells.
I agree w/ everything Mama's Rice & Beans said, along w. the fact that Alicia is a fellow soror! Skee-wee!
