<p><span class="font_regular">I played in China, Taiwan and Papua New Guinea about a year ago. In each country, during jam sessions with local musicians, I noticed that the musicians wanted to play the Blues. This would happen without fail. We (my band and I) wanted to learn their local music, but they wanted to play music that sounded just like old John Lee Hooker songs. I felt like they were using the Blues to connect with us, which makes sense if you know the Blues, and you understand that the act of creating music with other people is also the act of engaging in communication. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_regular">When I come home to DC from touring abroad, one of the first things I do is turn on local radio. After the Asia tour, I started wondering what it would take for GoGo to spread globally just like the Blues. What will it take for GoGo to be recognized by the music industry as an official genre? Chuck Brown, Rare Essence, Northeast Groovers, Trouble Funk, Junkyard, CCB, and BackYard are all very different, but they are all GoGo, and they are all designated as R&B / Soul groups on iTunes. Why? Mainstream music samples GoGo all the time - Beyonce's "Crazy In Love" is one example. Where is the industry's respect for GoGo? </span></p>
<p><span class="font_regular">I wrote "We Like Money" for myself and for the people. Speaking positively has always served me well, so the lyrics are written as groupings of positive affirmations. I believe that if you need a dollar, saying "I don't have a dollar" won't help you. Instead say "I'd like to have a dollar". This will prepare your mind to make that dollar. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_regular">During rehearsal, I sang the idea to my band: Wes Watkins (drums), Branden Jacobs (keys) and Jerel Abraham (bass). I told them that I wanted to play the song with a bounce beat. Things just came together naturally. A couple months later, I had Michelle Blackwell in the studio. She hadn't heard the song, but she stepped into the booth ready for whatever. I said, "The mic is hot. Do what you feel". Her adlibs are from that first take. <br><br><br><strong>LINER NOTES </strong></span></p>

<p><br><span class="font_large">2) Remember: you are exceptional, and normal business hours may not work for you. Sassy has you covered. With 24 hours advance notice, the salon will serve you between 8 PM and 11 PM, Thursday through Saturday. A $20 cover charge plus normal service rates apply. Relax on your own time. </span></p>
<p><br><span class="font_large">3) Honor the Sassy commitment to customer service, cleanliness, safety and hygiene. Equipment is sterilized and sanitized after it is used on each client… Word. </span><br> </p>

So, take what you read as gospel, or nah. These are just my experiences with randomly selected (hopefully effective) products I encounter throughout my travels. Here's post #1:<br><br><strong>Three Commandments: Nike Flex Supreme TR 3</strong></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span class="font_large">1) Thou shalt not be afraid of this sleek men's shoe with its pink and grey sole. It's great if you're a tall, athletic woman like me looking for more support than most women's shoes and less chunk than men's. You can find the women's version online, but I found these shoes while bargain hunting in the DC Nike Factory store where only the men's shoe is available and on sale for $20.</span><br> </p>
<p dir="ltr"><span class="font_large">2) Thou shalt glide, stride, climb on any Cybex Alt Trainer, StairMaster, etc. with confidence. The traction on this shoe is incredible. You shouldn't have to worry about sliding off the machine as you <a contents="Free Your Mind" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWjZefKHZFU">Free Your Mind</a> (see what I did there).</span><br> </p>
<p dir="ltr"><span class="font_large">3) Remember to wear uber low-cut, not-so-thick socks. This is a lightweight, airy shoe, almost drafty. I noticed that my feet felt cooler during my workout.

I took my independent study quite seriously, beginning with the works of my favorite American authors and writers: Robert Greene, Toni Morrison, Napoleon Hill, Kendrick Lamar, Stephen Sondheim. In March, while on tour in China, Taiwan and Papua New Guinea, I studied footage of the most renowned commencement speakers in recent history: Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, President Obama, Jon Stewart. Upon my return, I concluded my preparation by absorbing some of the greatest storytelling of all time. You may know it as the 2nd season of House of Cards. </span></span></p>

Four years ago, my 91-year old great-grandfather asked me, “Carolyn, did you graduate”? I graduated in 2006. Careful not to dismiss the question as the synaptic misfirings of an elderly man with dementia, I looked into his watering eyes and weighed the question deeply. Suddenly, things came into perspective. I had recently received a Grammy nomination. While that in itself is an amazing feat, especially for an independent artist, my great-grandfather wanted to know when I would do something greater with my talents.</span></span></p>

For starters, I have no grey hair; my dream car, a vintage black Porsche, is still on the lot, not in my garage; I am still laying the foundation for the innovative empire that will, even when our time passes, continue to inspire, ignite and nurture the human spirit through music, one person at a time, billions of times, for that is my life’s mission. </span></span></p>

I trust that you have felt their commitment throughout your time at Shepherd University, though their strategic implementation of new technology, the presentation of culturally immersive programming and, yes, even through the harsh grading of tough professors. </span></span></p>

I will always remember the number 15, the score I received on an essay quiz. My answers, though correct, were slovenly executed, and so I paid… dearly.</span></span></p>

Dr. Kevin Williams encouraged me to do more than just think outside of the box. He taught me to obliterate the box with imagination and technology. The tools he gave me were software and, literally, years of tedious solitude in the basement of Knutti Hall. I emerged with music that would allow me to create my first recordings. From Monica Larson, I learned branding and structure, the importance of color, the power of imagery. Dr. Tom Segar taught me and each member of the Multicultural Leadership Team to consider the opinions of others with respect and compassion. He gave us space to dream; he held us accountable for the actions we took and for those we didn’t.</span></span></p>

I wore my Rams jersey with pride, though I rarely saw court action. But you should have seen my warm-up shots. I looked good out there. </span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-f90e2b40-3b53-14bf-c0f5-e967b0a957cf"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Fear and fouls kept me on the bench. Coach Ford can attest to this. Basketball players, particularly those who play the 5 or the Center position, familiarize ourselves with a defensive rule called the Law of Verticality. I owed most of my foul trouble to this so-called law. The rule states that a defensive player is entitled to all of the space she occupies, plus all space above her head. To properly defend an offensive player en route to the basket, the defensive player must move quickly to firmly position herself, arms raised, between the offensive player and the basket. We spend countless hours practicing, drilling, perfecting our footwork, rehearsing the proper way to take a charge, how not to swat at an oncoming player. We are coached to “create a strong presence”. You could say that our training is the athletic equivalent of a peaceful protest. Now, call me rebellious, but the idea that someone should be able to come into my house and score without a show of force never appealed to me. In fact, it frustrated me. It still does. However I am grateful for the experience. In 2006, I graduated having learned how to hold my ground. In 2015, I still find the need to stand firmly, with raised arms. Instead of yelling “Shot!” with my teammates, I now raise my voice with millions, saying “Don’t shoot!”</span></span></p>

Obliterate any box that stifles your creativity. Create the next disruptive tech. Engineer personal solutions with global appeal. Yes, think globally. Act locally. Reach out to other young leaders for support. When you get weary, stand together. Hold your ground and raise your voice.</span></span></p>

Summer is off to a great start! </b>I spent Saturday morning learning from Jermaine Dupree at the Recording Academy's Business, Beats & Inspiration Conference. He said gaining traction for music from ATL was tough, but he trusted his gut and he never stopped doing what he believed. Let that be a lesson, beautiful dreamers. Keep pushing! <br><br>

<b>I love making music.</b> When the creative process ends, I put my product on the market then cross my fingers, hoping it serves a higher purpose. Too much guessing grinds my gears (blame that on my Zodiac sign). <b>I need to know what I do makes a real difference. </b><br><br>
The <a href="http://carmelitagroup.com/" target="_new">Carmelita Group</a> introduced me to <a href="http://theschoolfund.org/cgi-bin/dyn?c=info&t=fund" target="_new">The School Fund</a>. Ignited by the problem of access to education and united by music, we created the <a href="http://theschoolfund.org/cgi-bin/dyn?c=info&t=community&m=iam" target="_new">#IAM Campaign</a>. <br><br>
Enter <a href="http://www.chegg.com/" target="_new">Chegg</a>. The company saves US college students hundreds of dollars a year on textbooks and matches them with personalized scholarship opportunities. <a href="http://www.chegg.com/cheggforgood/" target="_new">Chegg for Good</a>, its philanthropic arm, engages their employees, partners, and students through opportunities to do some good in the world. <br><br>
Chegg maintains a succinct roster of supportive artists and entertainers. In 2012, during a March episode of the <a href="http://blog.chegg.com/2012/03/14/chegg-awards-struggling-student-with-35000-scholarship-on-the-ellen-show/" target="_new">Ellen Show,</a> they awarded one struggling student with a $35,000 scholarship. In October, the company donated $10,000 music education grants to five American colleges. They furnished one, Harvey Mudd College, with an intimate performance by <a href="http://www.chegg.com/cheggforgood/blog/7286" target="_new">Taylor Swift</a>. <br><br><a href="http://blog.chegg.com/2013/01/03/chegg-for-good-the-iam-campaign/" target="_new">How did Chegg begin 2013? </a>They started the year helping students in East Africa through the #IAM Campaign. It works like this. When folks like you and I watch my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWjZefKHZFU" target="_new">“Free Your Mind” music video</a> Chegg donates the cost of an hour of class time to The School Fund. One view equals one class hour. <br><br><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe width="600" height="338" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zWjZefKHZFU?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>
<br>
Chegg committed their donation of <a href="http://blog.chegg.com/2013/01/03/chegg-for-good-the-iam-campaign/" target="_new">10,000 class hours</a> in January. <br><br>
Neither the School Fund, Carmelita Group, or I have followings the size of Ellen DeGeneres or Taylor Swift's - yet. We are a small, impassioned unit on a meaningful journey. Along the way, our open-source ethos has raised support from the likes of <a href="http://www.good.is/posts/innovative-product-placement-makes-this-music-video-a-vehicle-for-good" target="_new">GOOD</a>, the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/suzanne-skees/carolyn-malachi-the-school-fund_b_2152004.html" target="_new">Huffington Post</a>, <a href="http://sunchasemedia.com/" target="_new">Sun Chase Media</a>, <a href="http://www.presonus.com/community/blog/index.php/2012/12/25/a-great-video-for-a-great-cause-free-your-mind/" target="_new">PreSonus</a>, <a href="http://blog.music2life.org/carolyn-malachi-breaks-rules/" target="_new">Music2Life</a>, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s <a href="http://bclc.uschamber.com/citizens2012/carolyn-malachi" target="_new">Business Civic Leadership Center</a>, and now <a href="https://email.chegg.com/pub/sf/FormLink?_ri_=X0Gzc2X%3DWQpglLjHJlYQGkGDLRfapSiFLhM2qavkFXH2DzdW8h3vtrU5VXMtX%3DWQpglLjHJlYQGu1wOFkzaeNSrloCam4oCjdzdKgzfAC529Bi75&_ei_=EmOXg-w5e7y309i9VV09S6q-_wUz7Txe4g4qLHYfY73qD9mJUYcX8CsINdFtf2XBvwlX_KBOxLCgheEZmg." target="_new">Chegg</a>. <br><br>

Here we are, </b><a href="http://www.theschoolfund.org" target="_new">the School Fund</a> and I, behaving like wind turbines, harnessing music video views and song downloads to create access to education. <br><br>
Sharing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=zWjZefKHZFU" target="_new">this</a> makes you a game changer and a problem solver. How? <br><br>
Every view of the "Free Your Mind" music video, and each <a href="https://play.google.com/store/music/album/Carolyn_Malachi_Free_Your_Mind?id=Byaydyr5t2cgcplutfewow2rywu&feature=artist-albums#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDYwMiwiYWxidW0tQnlheWR5cjV0MmNnY3BsdXRmZXdvdzJyeXd1Il0." target="_new">song download</a>, generates one hour of class time donated to students in East Africa courtesy of The School Fund’s corporate sponsors. Our goal is to provide 10,000 class hours per month for six months. The impact is real, the results are measurable, and the engagement is global. <br><br>
We call our partnership the <a href="http://www.theschoolfund.org/iam" target="_new">#IAM Campaign</a>. <br><br><a href="http://www.chegg.com" target="_new"> Chegg</a> has already sponsored 20,000 class hours. Features in the Huffington Post, <a href="http://www.good.is/posts/innovative-product-placement-makes-this-music-video-a-vehicle-for-good" target="_new">GOOD Magazine</a>, Music2Life - even the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Business Civic Leadership Center - lead us to believe our crazy idea may actually be quite sane. <br><br>
I have in mind the echoed posts of a loyal fan (Tribe member) who goes by the name <a href="http://www.twitter.com/drpostalot" target="_new">Dr. Post Alot</a>. After learning about the #IAM Campaign, DPA began including in his Twitter timeline just as many tweets about developments in education-nonprofit funding as he did tweets about the latest album releases. <br><br>
Look at it this way. <br><br>
All the digital world’s a stage, and each person a key player. You may have 359 Facebook friends (the global average) and half as many Twitter followers, but post an idea that resonates with just one active user, and you could land the world’s most coveted role - thought leader. <br><br>
That's not so crazy after all, is it?...onward and upward! <br><br>

Life is interesting. I spent part of the summer in an Off Broadway play. It was my first theater gig. I thought my marginal acting would also make it my last. Ha! Last week, a director called me to participate in a play reading at the famed Arena Stage. She said my natural tone, style, and love of Jazz make me right for the role. I feel the lesson here is an important one - always be yourself. <b>YOU </b>are unique and special. <b>YOU </b>have value. <b>BE YOU...BE GREAT</b>!<br><br><b>ABOUT KIND OF BLUE </b><br>
An allegory about the relationship between a man and woman, inspired by the music of Miles Davis. Ozzie Jones is the Founder and Artistic Director of the Rhythm One Company, whose focus is training and artistic development of new artists. He is also the Artistic Director and Co-founder of The Well Productions and has directed or performed with Patti Labelle, Ruby Dee, Jill Scott, Guy Davis, The Roots, Wu Tang Clan, Schoolly D, and Poor Righteous Teachers.<br><br>
There will be a brief "talk-back" with the playwrights, director, and actors following each reading.<br><br><b>ABOUT THE READING</b><br>

The School Fund and I teamed up with a single mission in mind, to use music as a means of educating students in developing countries. How cool is THIS?! The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Business Civic Leadership Center just made room for me to talk about our unique partnership. What an astounding platform and precious opportunity to tell our story!

<b>My parents raised me in Brookland, a quiet, wooded corner of northeast Washington, DC.</b> The largest tree in the neighborhood stood in our front yard. When I was six years old or so, old enough to go outside by myself, I began climbing it. I challenged myself to reach the top branches with fewer scrapes and cuts than previous attempts. One day, my mother caught me. Panicking and pregnant, she sent my father to coax me down. He did no such thing. Instead, he coached my steps and guided my journey to the top. I learned then the value of a good partner.
<div style="text-align: center; "> </div>
A good partner will share your values and emphasize the possibilities. Like my father, <a href="http://www.TheSchoolFund.org" target="_new">The School Fund</a> and <a href="http://www.chegg.com/cheggforgood/" target="_new">Chegg for Good</a> have a knack for inspiring success through shared ethos and applied methodology. They believe education is the most effective way for individuals to improve their own lives. So do I. <br><br>
Keep your eyes on us. Our partnership, the I AM Campaign, makes it easy for you to change the world while getting something you love: fresh music and cool visuals. We launch on December 6 with the help of the <a href="http://bclc.uschamber.com/program/citizens-awards" target="_new">U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Business Civic Leadership Center</a>.<br><br>

This conversation must continue. Most interesting to me are Shaun Bailey's comments about what people buy. Here we are again swimming in the murky waters of the old "You are what you eat" debate. I know that what we "eat" is largely dictated by convenience; it's easier to access what's aggressively and intentionally marketed to us. BUT, if we really want to fuel our collective potential, we can and should search beyond our comfort zones. <br><br>

WOW! This album is coming together with so much verve! For example, producers Marcus Marshall, Silvio Remedy Delis and I are putting the finishing touches on a song called "Primary Color". It's an upbeat, percussive groove, and the subject matter is YOU! <b>Guitarist Richard On of O.A.R.</b> came through the studio last night and added something exquisite to the tune. The vibe was right and the moment was full of discovery. Speaking of discovery, check out <a target="_new" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XyQ8XDgUf4">this video of O.A.R. live from Madison Square Garden</a>.<br><br>

</div>
<br><br><a target="_new" href="http://telly.com/SLTRN"><b>Someone thought my performance of the U.S. National Anthem at the Washington Mystics' game was a perfect time to shout racial epithets.</b></a> Watch the video. Turn up the volume. You'll hear the heckler in the background. <br><br>
I'm beginning to notice noise. Construction workers drilled through my last rehearsal. Race cars roared through my performance at Grand Prix Baltimore. Guitarist Brock Smith played with me on that gig. Instead of fighting the noise, we played to the rhythm of the cars. The University of Maryland's marching band passed through soon thereafter. "Great!", we thought. "A horn section."<br><br>
My aunt often says, "Life is a symphony. Play every note." If you can find a way to work dissonance into your arrangement, you might end up with a pretty sweet tune - dare I say, a joyful noise. <br><br>

Half of the drum set disappeared from the stage just before my band and I were introduced. Theater staff ran next door to a rehearsal space and grabbed pieces to complete the drum kit. In the mean time, we flipped the order of events and shot the video sequences first.<br><br>

While the Olympic Games captured the world's attention, Celebrity Photographer, Kawai Matthews and a few Los Angeles area students made history of their own.<br><br>
Kawai taught the first ever Music Photography 101 course at The GRAMMY Museum. Kudos to the Recording Academy for supporting this type of community engagement. The historic effort culminates on August 11 with a public exhibition and screening of the students' work from 1:30 pm to 4 pm at the Grammy Museum located at 800 W. Olympic Blvd inside of the LA Live Complex.<br><br>
Kawai and her students host Saturday's event. Interscope recording artist MATEO sweetens the moment with a listening party. Do attend, and watch beautiful dreams come to life: http://ymlp.com/z3GFDI.<br><br>

Watching the Team USA Women's Basketball squad crush Olympic opponents makes me remember my time as a baller. I played basketball at Elizabeth Seton High School, worked evenings and summers as honorary ball girl for the Washington Mystics and Washington Wizards, then earned academic and athletic scholarships to attend Shepherd University. Heavy footed and short for my Center position, I executed hard, scrappy defense to survive in the paint.<br><br>
Countless practice hours, grueling workout programs, and neverending road trips are still par for the course. These days I have musicians for teammates, and we practice at <a href="http://www.BloomBars.com" target="_new">BloomBars</a>. To many, BloomBars is an artist and non-profit incubator, performance space, art gallery, theater, dance studio, screening room, youth academy, and center for health, wellness, and community engagement. To me, it's home court.<br><br>
On September 4th, <a href="./welcome.cfm" target="_new">enjoy a special evening with BloomBars, the WNBA, and me at the Verizon Center</a>. I will sing the National Anthem to kick off the Washington Mystics' game vs. the Connecticut Sun. Use the link below to buy discounted game tickets and to help keep the arts in play at BloomBars. That's right! If you buy your ticket through <a href="./welcome.cfm" target="_new">THIS LINK</a>, a large percentage of ticket sales will go back to support programs at BloomBars!<br><br>

Through unconventional bidding methods and playing strategies, the Culbertsons enjoyed great success on the bridge tournament circuit. They pooled their resources to launch The Bridge World magazine in 1929. Ely authored the Contract Bridge Blue Book the following year. They continued to play highly publicized matches in the US and abroad molding their star power and influence into wealth. Wealth, a product of the Culbertsons’ ingenuity, seems to have spawned from intimate knowledge of their game and constant practice.</span><br><br><span>Hone your craft.
