Her energy and determination are contagious. We met during my blogging experience this week with the CitizenEffect Gulf Mission.
On Thursday, July 1st
The “Gulf Coast Benefit” is set to take place with music venues across the country hosting performances with the sole purpose to help the Gulf. People can attend these music events and donate onsite or can contribute in many other ways using social media.
In this video (2.5 minutes), we talk about many things — her inspiration, the community building used with social tech, and her respect for New Orleans and preserving the Gulf in light of the oil spill disaster.
And to learn more about tomorrow’s big music event helping the Gulf Coast
