THIS IS A DEFINING MOMENT FOR HUMANITY

An Emmy Awarding Winning team is poised to produce an epic and spectacular global benefit concert, a first of its kind global multi-cultural festival that will celebrate girls worldwide on International Girls Day.  We are thrilled to find a world class execution partner who are excited to produce World Girls Day. They have worked with artists like Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Justing Timberlake. The legendary Louis J. Horvitz (Live Aid, Grammys, Oscars) is directing.

This live global mega shed entertainment event will deliver an unforgettable global cultural experience. This can be as ambitious as Live Aid for global engagement, global connectivity and local impact. If we act now. A lasting legacy that will keep giving back to the future every International Girls Day. Together we will create one of the most significant Global Humanitarian campaigns in modern history.

I dedicated my life to producing Women’s Day Live (WDL) and World Girls Day, to harness the power of media, celebrity and technology to mobilize a global movement for girls’ education and women’s global economic empowerment. We have the collective power to do it. That time is now. This is my “I have a dream”. Help us “Make the Impossible Dream Possible”.

I had been given a prophetic vision of this attack on women’s rights, our freedoms and on democracy itself. I made a vow that I would protect Democracy at all costs. I decided that empowered women and educated girls were the solution. My indomitable  will would not let me give up,  given the high stakes. I have fought for freedom, social justice, and equality all my life. My parents fled to freedom, from an oppressive Communist regime. Growing up, I was ‘the other’. I was the wrong gender, nationality and religion. I never wanted any child to experience this kind of hate and violence ever. WDL was a CGI commitment at the invitation of President Clinton. Archbishop Desmond Tutu of blessed memory was my Patron for WDL. A magnificent man of great vision and heart, who said “Let’s Make this Humanity’s Finest Hour’. We appeal to your vision and heart to help realize this ambitious global effort now. The future is in our hands. Lili’s Epic Quest.
