Award-winning youth empowerment nonprofit, Free2Luv® is bringing their girl-empowering music-driven production UNSTOPPABLE to Los Angeles on March 10th, 2018 to raise self-esteem and benefit underserved girls. Their thought-provoking show and red carpet event will unite artists in all genres as they ignite the stage sharing a story of growth and self-awareness through music, art, dance, fashion, and spoken word. UNSTOPPABLE will take youth on a full circle journey from the depths of low self-image to the celebration of self-love. Proceeds raised from UNSTOPPABLE will benefit Free2Luv’s music and art empowerment initiatives designed to create a kinder, braver, a more loving world for underserved youth.
Research shows 47% of girls are being held back by low self-esteem. Girls, more often than boys, are the target of social, relational and cyberbullying, which has more damaging effects than physical bullying.
Free2LUV.org believes that in a world where every girl feels supported, embraced, and empowered to rock her authentic self these percentages will change dramatically.
Highlights on this day of girl empowerment will be performances by NBC’s The Voice Stephanie Rice and c pop-rock star Gabriela, Rules of Engagement and Undateable recurring star Bianca Kajlich, the voice of Disney’s Doc McStuffins, Laya DeLeon Hayes, LoveSea the Poet, singer-songwriter Serena Laurel, singer Britten Healey, the DC Dancers and more. Alaska Airlines is providing two round-trip tickets worldwide for auction, StudioUnbiased.com is creating designer fashion for auction bidding, and the red carpet will be rolled out for expected celebrities supporting UNSTOPPABLE.
UNSTOPPABLE will be staged at The Regent DTLA || 448 S Main St. || Los Angeles, CA 90013 on Saturday, March 10th. To sponsor an underserved teen or reserve your space go to Free2LUV.org.
“We are very excited to be producing UNSTOPPABLE with an amazing group of talented young women and look forward to creating a life-changing experience for underserved girls and teens. This event will be moving and inspirational, and we’ll be rolling out the red carpet for a VIP experience for youth who may seldom have an opportunity to experience this type of production. We view UNSTOPPABLE as more than an event – it’s a movement. Music and the arts offer a universal language that enables us to see the world and the human condition differently. They allow us to heal and to see a truth we might not have understood before. We know the transformational effect the arts have on children; it boosts their confidence and empowers them to communicate and express sensitive issues,” says Tonya Sandis, Co-Founder of Free2Luv.
Rice, a pop-rock singer-musician who recently found international acclaim on Season 12 of NBC’s The Voice, shares her compelling story of resilience through emotional and persuasive performances, offering listeners a source of inspiration and hope. “As a kid – I could never imagine a reality where my life could be lived out loud. I love giving visibility to young girls so they can see what their life could look like one day – full of love. Free to love. We all need someone at some point in our lives to speak for us when we cannot. I aim to empower the youth of today by giving them a voice,” says Rice.
“I’m excited to be taking a stand against hatred, and ignorance and join together to say that being yourself and being unique is perfectly ok, even when society says otherwise. It’s so important to let our kids and teens and young adults know that no one is alone, and whatever their journey might be, there are always people who understand what they are going through and that they are loved, accepted and beautiful souls,” says Hoyt. “Women supporting each other is SO very important, and by doing so, we can empower each other. Standing together can make a huge impact in our fight for respect and equality. I feel it’s all of our jobs to be there for girls of all ages and to set that example while letting them know how much they rock and how awesome they truly are,” says Gabriela. UNSTOPPABLE is made possible by the generosity of Free2Luv sponsors including MRC Studios and Spaceland Presents (The Regent DTLA). For more information and interviews:
