women's self defense. She is the Founder and CEO of the Women's
Empowerment Self Defense Academy (W.E.S.D.A.). She has travelled

2nd Annual "Rock the Red: Bold. Fashion.
Awareness." Fashion Show
Thursday, March 24, 2011 from 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM (CT)
Chicago, IL
The show will be held on March 24, 2011, in commemoration of annual National Women and
Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.
Rock the RED will also be a celebration of the 2nd anniversary of The Red Pump Project, which
was founded in March 2009 to raise awareness about the impact of HIV/AIDS on women and
girls.
The event will begin with a "Happy Hour" at 6:00pm, and Rock the Red beginning promptly at
7:00pm. It will showcase the newest fashions by upcoming designers and boutiques from around
the city.
We will present Keyana Ray with this year’s Ultimate Red Pump Rocker award. In 2006, Keyana
wrote “Reflections,” a movie about how three African-American girls handle the threat of
HIV/AIDS. The film was produced by Gina Price-Blythewood (Love & Basketball), and has been
screened across the country. Keyana is currently a film/video student at Columbia College
Chicago and continues to shed light on the impact of HIV/AIDS on women and families.
So join us for a fantastic evening where we bring together social justice and fashion to Rock
the RED BOLDLY, FASHIONABLY while being AWARE of the impact of HIV/AIDS on our
community.
VIPs will be guaranteed seating at the show, hors d'oeuvres complimentary of Flavor 180, and a
gift bag of goodies!
Ladies, ROCK YOUR RED PUMPS! Gentlemen, ROCK YOUR RED TIES!
