Overview
Earth-fx will create an album of 12 original songs to reach people, living in urban inner-city areas, who are dealing with high rates of poverty that affect communities on mental, spiritual and emotional levels. Her music serves to be inspirational, raising consciousness and promoting peace with different communities. As someone raised in the community she is reaching out to, she creates music to speak out against Philadelphia's growing crime rate and its impact on young African American youth in particular, as well as the impact of the rising level of young African American women contracting HIV has on communities.
