Dear Friends Authority Magazine is starting a new series within
our series of Social Impact Heroes, called

Music Stars Making A Social Impact . Full description here
https://bit.ly/3sWgnAj

Our world needs so much healing today. There are many
visionaries who have stood up and helped inspire others to make
a significant difference. Music has often been used to help
promote social impact causes. Notable examples are Live Aid,
Farm Aid, Live Earth, One Love Manchester, and there are of
course countless more.

We would like to feature and interview any Music Star who is
using their platform to promote a positive social change,
social impact cause, or a charity. Examples include Mental
Wellness, Food Insecurity, Equality & Racial Justice, Climate
Action, Homelessness, and Race For a Cure, but any positive
social impact cause can be included. The artist can support the
cause by raising awareness or through other direct means.

The interview series will have two stages.

All of the full interviews will be published in Arianna
Huffington's Thrive Global and Authority Magazine, and they will
look like the following:
