Russell Simmons hosted a huge charity event the other night for South Africa and the Diamond Empowerment Fund. Just being around Russell is so inspirational.

I had a chance to meet amazing people like Gayle King and Russel’s brother Rev Run! (His wife Justine is the sweetest lady ever, by the way.)

Cassie and I were showing off our green bracelets, which I’ve decided to purchase for all my friends for Christmas gifts this year because proceeds go to empower economically challenged people in African nations where diamonds are a natural resource.

I was not asked to be an ambassador for the U.N. (as some reports have
suggested today) but it would be an honor and I definitely plan on
helping out the U.N. in the future. I am also excited for the work that
Russell and I have planed in our fight for Africa!
