Alicia Keys posted a nude photo of her naked self and her pregnant belly on Instagram to spearhead her #WeAreHere charitable campaign.
Alicia explained that since last month’s news of the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson and recent events in the Middle East, she has started to consider her role in the world on a more serious level.
Speaking to New York Times, she said that
a friend recently asked her ‘why are you here,’ and her immediate
thought was: ‘Nobody has asked me that question before.
“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 aim is to bring people together and
help people find ways to make an impact rather than just contemplate the
atrocities in the world and not do anything about it.
“I want to gather an army,” she said, added that the reason for posting the naked baby bump image was to pull eyes to her cause.
To get the
effort started, Keys is donating $1 million of her own money, to be
divided among the 12 groups, and she hopes that her fans will make their
own donations directly to the charities.
