On Saturday, Alicia Keys shared a naked photo of herself to create awareness for the #WeAreHere movement, which is charitable campaign that aims to bring people together and galvanize them from feeling frustrated about the world to improving it.
"We Are Here", which is also the name of Alicia's latest song, is a way for her to do her part in making a difference in the world. The stunner, who is expecting her second baby in December, told the New York Times that the movement arises partly from her concern about the world that the child will inherit. So, she decided to be pose nude with a peace sign on her belly as an image of amity to kick off the effort.
“I want to gather an army," she said. "It's time to get people’s attention. People won’t be able to ignore this visual. We're in the same head space. We think the same things, of the injustices facing the world. This is bothering us, so how can we take that to the next step and do something about that, as opposed to just being angry?”
Alicia has donated $1 million of her own money between 12 specific groups to kickoff the campaign and encourages her fans to donate via We Are Here Movement website. The 12 organizations are: All Out, CARE, Equal Justice Initiative, the Future Project, Girl Rising, Keep a Child Alive, Moms Rising, Oxfam, the Trevor Project, the Trayvon Martin Foundation, and War Child.
Alicia was spotted attending Ruby Dee's memorial service in Manhattan, NY on Saturday. She is expecting her second child with hubby #SwizzBeatz and according to rumors, she is pregnant with a boy.
